NAME

       Moose::Cookbook::Snack::Keywords - Restricted "keywords" in Moose

VERSION

       version 2.0604

DESCRIPTION

       Moose exports a number of sugar functions in order to emulate Perl built-in keywords. These can cause clashes with other user-defined
       functions. This document provides a list of those keywords for easy reference.

   The 'meta' keyword
       "use Moose" adds a method called "meta" to your class. If this conflicts with a method or function you are using, you can rename it, or
       prevent it from being installed entirely. To do this, pass the "-meta_name" option when you "use Moose". For instance:

	 # install it under a different name
	 use Moose -meta_name => 'moose_meta';

	 # don't install it at all
	 use Moose -meta_name => undef;

   Moose Keywords
       If you are using Moose or Moose::Role it is best to avoid these keywords:

       extends
       with
       has
       before
       after
       around
       super
       override
       inner
       augment
       confess
       blessed

   Moose::Util::TypeConstraints Keywords
       If you are using Moose::Util::TypeConstraints it is best to avoid these keywords:

       type
       subtype
       class_type
       role_type
       maybe_type
       duck_type
       as
       where
       message
       optimize_as
       inline_as
       coerce
       from
       via
       enum
       find_type_constraint
       register_type_constraint

   Avoiding collisions
       Turning off Moose

       To remove the sugar functions Moose exports, just add "no Moose" at the bottom of your code:

	 package Thing;
	 use Moose;

	 # code here

	 no Moose;

       This will unexport the sugar functions that Moose originally exported. The same will also work for Moose::Role and
       Moose::Util::TypeConstraints.

       Sub::Exporter features

       Moose, Moose::Role and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints all use Sub::Exporter to handle all their exporting needs. This means that all the
       features that Sub::Exporter provides are also available to them.

       For instance, with Sub::Exporter you can rename keywords, like so:

	 package LOL::Cat;
	 use Moose 'has' => { -as => 'i_can_haz' };

	 i_can_haz 'cheeseburger' => (
	     is      => 'rw',
	     trigger => sub { print "NOM NOM" }
	 );

	 LOL::Cat->new->cheeseburger('KTHNXBYE');

       See the Sub::Exporter docs for more information.

       namespace::autoclean and namespace::clean

       You can also use namespace::autoclean to clean up your namespace.  This will remove all imported functions from your namespace. Note that
       if you are importing functions that are intended to be used as methods (this includes overload, due to internal implementation details), it
       will remove these as well.

       Another option is to use namespace::clean directly, but you must be careful not to remove "meta" when doing so:

	 package Foo;
	 use Moose;
	 use namespace::clean -except => 'meta';
	 # ...
