NAME

       MooseX::OneArgNew - teach ->new to accept single, non-hashref arguments

VERSION

       version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

       In our class definition:

	 package Delivery;
	 use Moose;
	 with('MooseX::OneArgNew' => {
	   type     => 'Existing::Message::Type',
	   init_arg => 'message',
	 });

	 has message => (isa => 'Existing::Message::Type', required => 1);

	 has to => (
	   is	=> 'ro',
	   isa	=> 'Str',
	   lazy => 1,
	   default => sub {
	     my ($self) = @_;
	     $self->message->get('To');
	   },
	 );

       When making a message:

	 # The traditional way:

	 my $delivery = Delivery->new({ message => $message });
	 # or
	 my $delivery = Delivery->new({ message => $message, to => $to });

	 # With one-arg new:

	 my $delivery = Delivery->new($message);

DESCRIPTION

       MooseX::OneArgNew lets your constructor take a single argument, which will be translated into the value for a one-entry hashref.  It is a
       parameterized role with two parameters:

       type
	   The Moose type that the single argument must be for the one-arg form to work.  This should be an existing type, and may be either a
	   string type or a MooseX::Type.

       init_arg
	   This is the string that will be used as the key for the hashref constructed from the one-arg call to new.

   WARNINGS
       You can apply MooseX::OneArgNew more than once, but if more than one application's type matches a single argument to "new", the behavior is
       undefined and likely to cause bugs.

       It would be a very bad idea to supply a type that could accept a normal hashref of arguments to "new".
