MooseX...::Class(3pm)

💖 MooseX::NonMoose::Meta::Role::Class 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for MooseX::NonMoose::Meta::Role::Class — that's the one sitting in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, filed under section 3pm. yeah the header got truncated all cute-like to MooseX...::Class(3pm), but you and me both know the real name now. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

MooseX::NonMoose::Meta::Role::Class — it's a metaclass trait for MooseX::NonMoose. that's it, that's the whole name situation. 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.27. she's got a number, she's official, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's how you actually use her. option one, the quick lil one-liner vibe:

package Foo;
use Moose -traits => 'MooseX::NonMoose::Meta::Role::Class';

or, if you're feeling ✨extra✨ and wanna wire it up by hand:

package My::Moose;
use Moose ();
use Moose::Exporter;

Moose::Exporter->setup_import_methods;
sub init_meta {
    shift;
    my %options = @_;
    Moose->init_meta(%options);
    Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles(
        for_class       => $options{for_class},
        metaclass_roles => ['MooseX::NonMoose::Meta::Role::Class'],
    );
    return Moose::Util::find_meta($options{for_class});
}

like, both work. pick your fighter. 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie. this trait handles everything that's involved with extending non-Moose classes — all of it, every last bit — except for the actual inlining that happens at make_immutable time. that part is not her job. she does not do that. don't ask her to.

want the full lore? go read MooseX::NonMoose, that's where the details live. iykyk. 📖✨
