Moose::...it::Code(3)

💖 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code — the whole vibe

okay bestie, so this is a page from your friendly neighborhood User Contributed Perl Documentation section (section 3, the library-calls one, iykyk). It's the manual for Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code, aka the helper trait that makes your CodeRef attributes do tricks. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code — the helper trait for CodeRef attributes. That's it, that's the name, no notes 🎀

---

🦋 VERSION 🦋

version 2.4000

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole setup, and honestly? it ate:

package Foo;
use Moose;

has 'callback' => (
    traits  => ['Code'],
    is      => 'ro',
    isa     => 'CodeRef',
    default => sub {
        sub { print "called" }
    },
    handles => {
        call => 'execute',
    },
);

my $foo = Foo->new;
$foo->call;    # prints "called"

like, you hand it traits => ['Code'] and suddenly your coderef attribute has main character energy and comes with free delegation methods. periodt 💖

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

This trait provides native delegation methods for code references. fr fr, that's its whole job and it does it flawlessly ✨

---

💜 DEFAULT TYPE 💜

If you don't provide an isa value for your attribute, it will default to CodeRef. So like, it already knows what you meant, no need to over-explain yourself 🫶

---

🎀 PROVIDED METHODS 🎀

the girls that get it, get it — here's what you actually get:

• execute(@args) — Calls the coderef with the given args. Simple. Iconic. Does exactly what it says on the tin 🔥
• execute_method(@args) — Calls the coderef with the instance as invocant and given args. So the object shows up first like the main character it is 👑
