MooseX...Dashes(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

MooseX::Getopt::Dashes — bestie, it takes the underscores in your attribute names and turns them into dashes. That's the whole gig. Iconic, honestly.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.78 — that's the one you're getting, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so picture this:

package My::App;
use Moose;
with 'MooseX::Getopt::Dashes';

# Will be called as --some-thingy, not --some_thingy
has 'some_thingy' => (
    is      => 'ro',
    isa     => 'Str',
    default => 'foo'
);

# Will be called as --another_thingy, not --another-thingy
has 'another_thingy' => (
    traits   => [ 'Getopt' ],
    cmd_flag => 'another_thingy'
    is       => 'ro',
    isa      => 'Str',
    default  => 'foo'
);

# use as MooseX::Getopt

see how the first one gets a glow-up (underscore → dash) and the second one stays exactly as it is because we told it to? yeah. that's the vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So MooseX::Getopt::Dashes is literally just a version of MooseX::Getopt that, when it's generating your command line flags, converts the underscores in your attribute names into dashes. that's it. that's the personality. ✨

and the way that you can selectively disable this?? on a per-attribute basis, bestie. just hand it a cmd_flag argument with the command flag you want for that specific attribute, and boom — no underscore-to-dash replacement will be done on the cmd_flag. it leaves it alone. respects its choices. 🫶
