MooseX...::Class(3pm)

💖 MooseX::StrictConstructor::Trait::Class — a Perl manual page, but make it fashion 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're reading a perl manual page together and honestly? it's a short one, we can do this. this one ships as part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation and lives at MooseX...::Class(3pm) — the ... is just the terminal being dramatic about a long name, iykyk. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

MooseX::StrictConstructor::Trait::Class — it's a role whose whole entire job is making immutable constructors strict. that's it. that's the girl. 💅

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.21 — she's vintage, she's stable, she ate. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, and it's genuinely simple for once:

this role wraps _inline_BUILDALL() — which it borrows from Moose::Meta::Class — so that immutable classes have a strict constructor. 🫶

that's the whole plot. one function, wrapped, so your immutable classes stop letting randos pass in whatever attributes they feel like. no cap. 🔥

---

🦋 SUPPORT 🦋

https://github.com/moose/MooseX-StrictConstructor/issues

also!! the author is usually active on IRC under the nick autarch at:

irc://irc.perl.org

so if the issue tracker is giving ✨unresponsive✨ energy, you can literally just go say hi on IRC. iconic behavior honestly. 🌈
