NAME
Object::Role - base class for non-Moose roles
SYNOPSIS
{ package Object::Dumpable; use base qw/Object::Role/; use Data::Dumper; sub import { my ($class, @args) = @_; my ($caller, %args) = __PACKAGE__->parse_arguments(undef, @args); my $coderef = sub { my ($self) = @_; return Dumper($self); }; __PACKAGE__->install_method(dump => $coderef, $caller); } } { package Foo; use Object::Dumpable; sub new { ... } } { package main; my $foo = Foo->new; warn $foo->dump; }
DESCRIPTION
This will be better documented once I fully understand it myself! The idea of this is to be a base class for roles like Object::DOES, Object::Stash and Object::ID. It handles parsing of import arguments, installing methods into the caller's namespace (like Exporter, but using a technique that is immune to namespace::autoclean) and tracking which packages have consumed your role. While "Object::Role" is a base class for roles, it is not itself a role, so does not export anything. Instead, your role must inherit from it. Methods "parse_arguments($default_arg_name, @arguments)" Will parse: package My::Class; use My::Role -foo => 1, -bar => [2,3], 4, 5; as: ( 'My::Class', # caller, ( '-foo' => [1], '-bar' => [2, 3], $default_arg_name => [4, 5], ) ) "install_method($subname => $coderef, $package)" Installs $coderef as "$package::$subname". Automatically calls register_consumer($package). "register_consumer($package)" Records that $package has consumed (used) your role. "has_consumer($package)" Check if $package has consumed (used) your role.
