NAME¶

Sub::HandlesVia - alternative handles_via implementation

SYNOPSIS¶

 package Kitchen {
   use Moo;
   use Sub::HandlesVia;
   use Types::Standard qw( ArrayRef Str );
   
   has food => (
     is          => 'ro',
     isa         => ArrayRef[Str],
     handles_via => 'Array',
     default     => sub { [] },
     handles     => {
       'add_food'    => 'push',
       'find_food'   => 'grep',
     },
   );
 }
 my $kitchen = Kitchen->new;
 $kitchen->add_food('Bacon');
 $kitchen->add_food('Eggs');
 $kitchen->add_food('Sausages');
 $kitchen->add_food('Beans');
 
 my @foods = $kitchen->find_food(sub { /^B/i });

DESCRIPTION¶

If you've used Moose's native attribute traits, or MooX::HandlesVia before, you should have a fairly good idea what this does.

Why re-invent the wheel? Well, this is an implementation that should work okay with Moo, Moose, Mouse, and any other OO toolkit you throw at it. One ring to rule them all, so to speak.

For details of how to use it, see the manual.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMoo

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Moo and Moo::Role.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMoose

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Moose and Moose::Role.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMouse

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Mouse and Mouse::Role.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMite

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Mite.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithClassTiny

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Class::Tiny.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithObjectPad

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with Object::Pad classes.

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithGeneric

How to use Sub::HandlesVia with other OO toolkits, and hand-written Perl classes.

Note: as Sub::HandlesVia needs to detect which toolkit you are using, and often needs to detect whether your package is a class or a role, it needs to be loaded after Moo/Moose/Mouse/etc. Your "use Moo" or "use Moose::Role" or whatever needs to be before your "use Sub::HandlesVia".

BUGS¶

Please report any bugs to <https://github.com/tobyink/p5-sub-handlesvia/issues>.

(There are known bugs for Moose native types that do coercion.)

Sub::HandlesVia::Declare is a helper for declaring Sub::HandlesVia delegations at compile-time, useful for Object::Pad and (to a lesser extent) Class::Tiny.
