MooseX...t::Bool(3pm)

💖 MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Trait::Bool — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the module in question is MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Trait::Bool. Say that five times fast. Actually don't, just read on. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Trait::Bool — it's giving "simple boolean attribute". That's the whole job. One (1) boolean, living its best life. 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.25. Yes queen, we're on 0.25. 🦋

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

okay so picture this: you got a Room, and the room has a light. Is it lit? We're about to find out. 👑

package Room;
use Moose;
use MooseX::AttributeHelpers;

has 'is_lit' => (
    metaclass => 'Bool',
    is        => 'rw',
    isa       => 'Bool',
    default   => sub { 0 },
    provides  => {
        set     => 'illuminate',
        unset   => 'darken',
        toggle  => 'flip_switch',
        not     => 'is_dark'
    }
);

my $room = Room->new();
$room->illuminate;     # same as $room->is_lit(1);
$room->darken;         # same as $room->is_lit(0);
$room->flip_switch;    # same as $room->is_lit(not $room->is_lit);
return $room->is_dark; # same as !$room->is_lit

the way those provides names are literally just vibes and you can name them whatever you want... illuminate? flip_switch? main character naming energy fr fr. 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So this trait hands you a simple boolean attribute, and ngl it supports most of the basic math operations. That's it. That's the pitch. It's a bool, it knows bool things, and it does them in place (more on that drama below 👀).

👑 METHODS 👑

Here's the lineup, no notes, just names:

• meta
• helper_type
• method_constructors
• has_method_provider
• method_provider

🍓 PROVIDED METHODS 🍓

💀 BIG WARNING BESTIE: literally all of these methods do in place modification of the value stored in the attribute. Not a copy. Not a new thing. The actual value. So if you were out here expecting immutability, no you weren't. 🙈

• set — sets the value to 1. That's it. On. Lit. Slay. ⭐
• unset — sets the value to 0. Off. Dark. Goodnight. 🌙
• toggle — flips the value. If it's true, it becomes false; if it's false, it becomes true. And vice versa, obviously, that's what toggling is. 🔥
• not — the equivalent of not $value. It's not not. It's literally just not. 💜
