Mouse::Util(3pm)

💅 Mouse::Util(3pm) — User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Mouse::Util(3pm) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation 🐭💖. It's giving utility-function group chat, and we are seated.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mouse::Util — utilities for working with Mouse classes, fr fr 🎀

🦋 VERSION 🦋

This document describes Mouse version v2.6.2 ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Mouse::Util; # turns on strict and warnings

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this module provides a set of utility functions. Many of these functions are intended for use in Mouse itself or MouseX modules, but some of them may be useful for use in your own code. No cap, some of these little guys are genuinely useful even outside the Mouse inner circle 🫶

🔥 IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR 🔥

💜 Moose::Util functions 💜

The following functions are exportable — yes, take them with you, bestie 💅

• find_meta($class_or_obj) — same as Mouse::Util::class_of(), periodt ✨
• does_role($class_or_obj, $role_or_obj) — exportable, and there's the exact signature for you 🎀
• resolve_metaclass_alias($category, $name, %options) — exportable, signature served fresh 💖
• apply_all_roles($applicant, @roles) — exportable, and yes, that's the whole signature on this page 🌸
• english_listi(@items) — exportable, keeping english_listi(@items) exactly as written, iykyk 🫶

🧚 Class::MOP functions 🧚

The following functions are not exportable 😤

• Mouse::Util::is_class_loaded($classname) -> Bool — returns whether $classname is actually loaded or not. It uses a heuristic which involves checking for the existence of $VERSION, @ISA, and any locally-defined method 👀
• Mouse::Util::load_class($classname) -> ClassName — this will load a given $classname (or die if it is not loadable). This function can be used in place of tricks like eval "use $module ()" or using require 🔥
• Mouse::Util::class_of($classname_or_object) -> MetaClass — listed here with the exact signature, not exportable 💀
• Mouse::Util::get_metaclass_by_name($classname) -> MetaClass — listed here with the exact signature, not exportable 💅
• Mouse::Util::get_all_metaclass_instances() -> (MetaClasses) — listed here with the exact signature, not exportable ✨
• Mouse::Util::get_all_metaclass_names() -> (ClassNames) — listed here with the exact signature, not exportable 🦋

🌈 mro (or MRO::Compat) 🌈

• get_linear_isa — the name on this page, and that's the whole note here, bestie 💖

💀 Sub::Identify 💀

• get_code_info — the name on this page, no extra description here, periodt 🎀

👑 Mouse specific utilities 👑
