NAME

       MooseX::Has::Sugar - Sugar Syntax for moose 'has' fields

VERSION

       version 0.05070420

SYNOPSIS

       Moose "has" syntax is generally fine, but sometimes one gets bothered with the constant typing of string quotes for things. The
       MooseX::Types module exists and in many ways reduces the need for constant string creation.

   Primary Benefits at a Glance
       Reduced Typing in "has" declarations.

       The constant need to type "=>" and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the instant you have more than about 4 attributes it starts to get
       annoying.

       More compact declarations.

       Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your life easier, and makes it take up less visual space, which makes it
       faster to read.

       No String Worries

       Strings are often problematic, due to white-space etc. Noted that if you do happen to mess them up, Moose should at least warn you that
       you've done something daft. Using this alleviates that worry.

   Before this Module.
       Classical Moose

	   has foo => (
		   isa => 'Str',
		   is  => 'ro',
		   required => 1,
	   );

	   has bar => (
		   isa => 'Str',
		   is => 'rw'
		   lazy_build => 1,
	   );

       Lazy Evil way to do it:

       PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS

	   has qw( foo isa Str is ro required 1 );
	   has qw( bar isa Str is rw lazy_build 1 );

   With this module
       ( and with MooseX::Types )

	   use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

	   has foo => (
		   isa => Str,
		   ro,
		   required,
	   );
	   has bar => (
		   isa => Str,
		   rw,
		   lazy_build,
	   );

       Or even

	   use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

	   has foo => ( isa => Str, ro,  required, );
	   has bar => ( isa => Str, rw,  lazy_build, );

   Alternative Forms
       Basic "is" Expansion Only

       ( using ::Sugar::Minimal instead )

	   use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;

	   has foo => (
		   isa => Str,
		   is  => ro,
		   required => 1,
	   );
	   has bar => (
		   isa => Str,
		   is => rw,
		   lazy_build => 1,
	   );

       Attribute Expansions with Basic Expansions

       ( Combining parts of this and ::Sugar::Minimal )

	   use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;
	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar qw( :attrs );

	   has foo => (
		   isa => Str,
		   is  => ro,
		   required,
	   );
	   has bar => (
		   isa => Str,
		   is => rw,
		   lazy_build,
	   );

EXPORT GROUPS

   :default
       Since 0.0300, this exports all our syntax, the same as ":attrs :isattrs".  Primarily because I found you generally want all the sugar, not
       just part of it.  This also gets rid of that nasty exclusion logic.

   :isattrs
       This exports "ro", "rw" and "bare" as lists, so they behave as stand-alone attrs like "lazy" does.

	   has foo => (
		   required,
		   isa => 'Str',
		   ro,
	   );

       NOTE: This option is incompatible with ::Sugar::Minimal : "CONFLICTS"

   :attrs
       This exports "lazy" , "lazy_build" and "required", "coerce", "weak_ref" and "auto_deref" as subs that assume positive.

	   has foo => (
		   required,
		   isa => 'Str',
	   );

       NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Types and Moose's Type Constraints Module : "CONFLICTS"

   :is
       DEPRECATED. See ::Sugar::Minimal for the same functionality

   :allattrs
       DEPRECATED, just use ":default" or do

	   use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

   bare
       returns "('is','bare')"

   ro
       returns "('is','ro')"

   rw
       returns "('is','rw')"

   required
       returns "('required',1)"

   lazy
       returns "('lazy',1)"

   lazy_build
       returns "('lazy_build',1)"

   weak_ref
       returns "('weak_ref',1)"

   coerce
       returns "('coerce',1)"

       WARNING: Conflict with MooseX::Types and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, see "CONFLICTS".

   auto_deref
       returns "('auto_deref',1)"

CONFLICTS

   MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal
   MooseX::Has::Sugar::Saccharin
       This module is not intended to be used in conjunction with
	::Sugar::Minimal or ::Sugar::Saccharin

       We export many of the same symbols and its just not very sensible.

   MooseX::Types
   Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
       due to exporting the "coerce" symbol, using us in the same scope as a call to

	   use MooseX::Types ....

       or
	   use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

       will result in a symbol collision.

       We recommend using and creating proper type libraries instead, ( which will absolve you entirely of the need to use MooseX::Types and
       MooseX::Has::Sugar(::*)? in the same scope )
