MooseX...ration(3pm)

💖 MooseX::Declare::Syntax::MethodDeclaration — ok bestie, let's talk 💖

aka MooseX...ration(3pm) — yeah the header truncated it, that's just the manual name doing its little thing, don't worry about it 🎀

VERSION: version 0.43 ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's a role for keyword handlers, okay? Like, it hands you a whole framework so you can add methods — or add things that merely look like methods, which, same energy honestly — and modify them. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

prototype_injections

Optional little structure that describes extra stuff to be injected into a method's signature. 💅

The popular example of this? It lives in the around method modifier handler:

ngl that's where everyone points when they want to see it in the wild 🫶

✨ METHODS ✨

parse

Object->parse (Object $ctx);

Reads a name and a prototype, builds the method meta object, and then registers it into the current class. How? Using MooseX::Method::Signatures plus a custom_method_application that calls register_method_declaration. That's the whole pipeline, no cap. 🔥

👑 CONSUMES 👑

• MooseX::Declare::Syntax::KeywordHandling

🌈 REQUIRED METHODS 🌈

register_method_declaration

Object->register_method_declaration (Object $metaclass, Str $name, Object $method)

This one gets called with the target metaclass, the final built method meta object, and its name. And here's the iconic part: whatever it returns becomes the value returned right where the method was declared. So like… the return value is the whole point. main character behaviour fr 💫
