MooX::Aliases(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet MooX::Aliases — it's giving easy aliasing of methods and attributes in Moo 💅✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bestie here's the vibe, look:

package MyClass;
use Moo;
use MooX::Aliases;

has this => (
    is    => 'rw',
    alias => 'that',
);

sub foo { my $self = shift; print $self->that }
alias bar => 'foo';

my $o = MyApp->new();
$o->this('Hello World');
$o->bar; # prints 'Hello World'

or, if you're doing the role girlie thing:

package MyRole;
use Moo::Role;
use MooX::Aliases;

has this => (
    is    => 'rw',
    alias => 'that',
);

sub foo { my $self = shift; print $self->that }
alias bar => 'foo';

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. MooX::Aliases lets you alias methods in Moo so fast, no cap. It hands you an alias parameter for has() that generates aliased accessors on top of the standard ones — not instead of, on top of 🫶. and the attributes can also be initialized in the constructor through their aliased names, which is lowkey the best part. ✨

and the way you can make more than one alias at once by passing a listref?? obsessed:

has ip_addr => (
  alias => [ qw(ipAddr ip) ],
);

💖 FUNCTIONS 💖

• alias $alias, $method — makes $alias into a method that's aliased to $method. that's it, that's the whole function, she's simple and she ate 💅

---

⚠️ CAVEATS ⚠️

okay so important: this module uses the BUILDARGS to map the attributes. so if a class uses a custom BUILDARGS, this module may not behave properly. fr fr, don't come for me, that's just how it is 😭
