MooseX...efaults(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

MooseX::HasDefaults — the vibe is: default "is" to "ro" or "rw" for all your attributes 🎀

Oh and bestie, real quick — this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation and you'll see it indexed as MooseX...efaults(3pm) (they truncated it, not me 💅).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so picture this, a whole class, but you're not typing is => 'ro' eighty times like some kind of peasant:

package Person;
use Moose;
use MooseX::HasDefaults::RO;

has name => (
    isa => 'Str',
);

has age => (
    is  => 'rw',
    isa => 'Int',
    documentation => "Changes most years",
);

See how name has literally no is and it still slays? Yeah. That's the whole thing. 😭💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea 🍓:

• The module MooseX::HasDefaults::RO defaults "is" to "ro".
• The module MooseX::HasDefaults::RW defaults "is" to "rw".

That's it. That's the module. No cap. 🧚

Now — the override rules, because this is where people get confused and I refuse to let that be you:

• If you pass a specific value to any has's "is", that overrides the default. Your word wins, always. Periodt. 👑
• If you do not want an accessor at all, pass is => undef. Boom, no accessor, no problem. 🙈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• MooseX::AttributeDefaults — so this one requires its users to be MOP savvy 😬, and honestly it's a bit too much typing for the common case of defaulting "is". It's giving "I read the MOP docs" energy and like, good for you, but no.
• MooseX::Attributes::Curried — this one solves a similar need by letting users create sugar functions 🍬. Respect! But... people like "has". They just do. Fr fr.
