MooseX:...tribute(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the MooseX:...tribute(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖 this one is all about MooseX::ClassAttribute — it declares class attributes Moose-style, and honestly? iconic. ✨

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.29 — periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

package My::Class;

use Moose;
use MooseX::ClassAttribute;

class_has 'Cache' =>
    ( is      => 'rw',
      isa     => 'HashRef',
      default => sub { {} },
    );

__PACKAGE__->meta()->make_immutable();

no Moose;
no MooseX::ClassAttribute;

# then later ...

My::Class->Cache()->{thing} = ...;

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This module lets you declare class attributes in exactly the same way as object attributes, using class_has() instead of has(). no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

You can use any feature of Moose's attribute declarations, including overriding a parent's attributes, delegation (handles), attribute traits, etc. All features should just work. The one exception? The required flag is not allowed for class attributes. 💀

The accessor methods for class attribute may be called on the class directly, or on objects of that class. Passing a class attribute to the constructor will not set that attribute. that's just how it is, bestie. 😭

✨ FUNCTIONS ✨

This class exports one function when you use it: class_has(). It works exactly like Moose's has(), but it declares class attributes. slay. 👑

One little nit is that if you include no Moose in your class, you won't remove the class_has() function. To do that you must include no MooseX::ClassAttribute as well. Or you can just use namespace::autoclean instead. iykyk. 🎀

🛠️ Implementation and Immutability 🛠️

This module will add a role to your class's metaclass — see MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Class for details. This role provides introspection methods for class attributes. 💅

Class attributes themselves do the MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Attribute role. yes bestie, they have a role too. 🌈

🤝 Cooperation with Metaclasses and Traits 🤝

This module should work with most attribute metaclasses and traits, but it's possible that conflicts could occur. This module has been tested to work with Moose's native traits. ngl, that's pretty reassuring. 💖

🧚 Class Attributes in Roles 🧚

You can add a class attribute to a role. When that role is applied to a class, the class will have the relevant class attributes added. Note that attribute defaults will be calculated when the class attribute is composed into the class. ✨
