MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute — bestie, this trait makes your attribute(s) totally chill about being initialized with undef. No drama, no explosion. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

package My:Class;
use Moose;

use MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute;

has 'bar' => (
    traits => [ qw(MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute)],
    is => 'ro',
    isa => 'Num',
    predicate => 'has_bar'
);

# Meanwhile, under the city...

# Doesn't explode
my $class = My::Class->new(bar => undef);
$class->has_bar # False!

okay so like. look at that. bar => undef goes in, and nothing screams. has_bar comes back False. it's giving peace. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: when you slap this trait onto your attribute, its initialization becomes tolerant of undef. If you hand any of those attributes the value undef, they just… don't get initialized. Not even a little. (Or they get set to the default instead, if there is one — so cute of them.)

Basically it acts exactly like you never gave a value at all. lowkey iconic behavior tbh. 👑
