NAME
Moose::Exporter - make an import() and unimport() just like Moose.pm
SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Moose;
use Moose ();
use Moose::Exporter;
Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods(
with_meta => [ 'has_rw', 'sugar2' ],
as_is => [ 'sugar3', \&Some::Random::thing ],
also => 'Moose',
);
sub has_rw {
my ( $meta, $name, %options ) = @_;
$meta->add_attribute(
$name,
is => 'rw',
%options,
);
}
# then later ...
package MyApp::User;
use MyApp::Moose;
has 'name';
has_rw 'size';
thing;
no MyApp::Moose;
DESCRIPTION
This module encapsulates the exporting of sugar functions in a "Moose.pm"-like manner. It
does this by building custom "import", "unimport", and "init_meta" methods for your
module, based on a spec you provide.
It also lets you "stack" Moose-alike modules so you can export Moose's sugar as well as
your own, along with sugar from any random "MooseX" module, as long as they all use
"Moose::Exporter". This feature exists to let you bundle a set of MooseX modules into a
policy module that developers can use directly instead of using Moose itself.
To simplify writing exporter modules, "Moose::Exporter" also imports "strict" and
"warnings" into your exporter module, as well as into modules that use it.
METHODS
This module provides two public methods:
Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods(...)
When you call this method, "Moose::Exporter" builds custom "import", "unimport", and
"init_meta" methods for your module. The "import" method will export the functions you
specify, and can also re-export functions exported by some other module (like
"Moose.pm").
The "unimport" method cleans the caller's namespace of all the exported functions.
If you pass any parameters for Moose::Util::MetaRole, this method will generate an
"init_meta" for you as well (see below for details). This "init_meta" will call
"Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles" and
"Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_base_class_roles" as needed.
Note that if any of these methods already exist, they will not be overridden, you will
have to use "build_import_methods" to get the coderef that would be installed.
This method accepts the following parameters:
o with_meta => [ ... ]
This list of function names only will be wrapped and then exported. The
wrapper will pass the metaclass object for the caller as its first argument.
Many sugar functions will need to use this metaclass object to do something to
the calling package.
o as_is => [ ... ]
This list of function names or sub references will be exported as-is. You can
identify a subroutine by reference, which is handy to re-export some other
module's functions directly by reference ("\&Some::Package::function").
If you do export some other package's function, this function will never be
removed by the "unimport" method. The reason for this is we cannot know if the
caller also explicitly imported the sub themselves, and therefore wants to
keep it.
o also => $name or \@names
This is a list of modules which contain functions that the caller wants to
export. These modules must also use "Moose::Exporter". The most common use
case will be to export the functions from "Moose.pm". Functions specified by
"with_meta" or "as_is" take precedence over functions exported by modules
specified by "also", so that a module can selectively override functions
exported by another module.
"Moose::Exporter" also makes sure all these functions get removed when
"unimport" is called.
Any of the *_roles options for "Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles" and
"Moose::Util::MetaRole::base_class_roles" are also acceptable.
Moose::Exporter->build_import_methods(...)
Returns two or three code refs, one for "import", one for "unimport", and optionally
one for "init_meta", if the appropriate options are passed in.
Accepts the additional "install" option, which accepts an arrayref of method names to
install into your exporting package. The valid options are "import", "unimport", and
"init_meta". Calling "setup_import_methods" is equivalent to calling
"build_import_methods" with "install => [qw(import unimport init_meta)]" except that
it doesn't also return the methods.
Used by "setup_import_methods".
IMPORTING AND init_meta
If you want to set an alternative base object class or metaclass class, see above for
details on how this module can call Moose::Util::MetaRole for you.
If you want to do something that is not supported by this module, simply define an
"init_meta" method in your class. The "import" method that "Moose::Exporter" generates for
you will call this method (if it exists). It will always pass the caller to this method
via the "for_class" parameter.
Most of the time, your "init_meta" method will probably just call "Moose->init_meta" to do
the real work:
sub init_meta {
shift; # our class name
return Moose->init_meta( @_, metaclass => 'My::Metaclass' );
}
Keep in mind that "build_import_methods" will return an "init_meta" method for you, which
you can also call from within your custom "init_meta":
my ( $import, $unimport, $init_meta ) =
Moose::Exporter->build_import_methods( ... );
sub import {
my $class = shift;
...
$class->$import(...);
...
}
sub unimport { goto &$unimport }
sub init_meta {
my $class = shift;
...
$class->$init_meta(...);
...
}
METACLASS TRAITS
The "import" method generated by "Moose::Exporter" will allow the user of your module to
specify metaclass traits in a "-traits" parameter passed as part of the import:
use Moose -traits => 'My::Meta::Trait';
use Moose -traits => [ 'My::Meta::Trait', 'My::Other::Trait' ];
These traits will be applied to the caller's metaclass instance. Providing traits for an
exporting class that does not create a metaclass for the caller is an error.
