NAME

       Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMouse - using Sub::HandlesVia with Mouse

SYNOPSIS

        package Kitchen {
          use Mouse;
          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',
            },
          );
        }

       (If you have a mouse in your kitchen, that might not be very hygienic.)

MANUAL

       Sub::HandlesVia allows you to delegate methods from your class to the values of your
       objects' attributes.

       Conceptually, it allows you to define "$object->push_number($n)" to be a shortcut for
       "$object->numbers->push($n)" except that "$object->numbers" is an arrayref, so doesn't
       have methods you can call on it like "push".

       You should be able to use Sub::HandlesVia as a drop-in replacement for
       MouseX::NativeTraits, just replacing "traits => ['Array']" in an attribute definition with
       "handles_via => 'Array'".

   Usage in Mouse Roles
       Mouse roles are only partially supported.

        package R1 {
          use Mouse:Role;
        }

        package R2 {
          use Mouse:Role;
          use Sub::HandlesVia;

          # define some attributes with delegation
        }

        # This class is broken.
        package C1 {
          use Mouse;
          with 'R1', 'R2';
        }

        # This class should work.
        package C2 {
          use Mouse;
          with 'R1';
          with 'R2';
        }

       Patches to fix the issue are very welcome!

   Which Methods Can Be Delegated To?
       The "handles_via" option indicates which library of methods should be available. Valid
       values include Array, Blessed, Bool, Code, Counter, Hash, Number, Scalar, and String.

       An arrayref can be provided for "handles_via", though many of the options are conceptually
       contradictory.

        handles_via => [ 'Number', 'Scalar' ]

   Mouse Native Types
       Although the synopsis shows Types::Standard being used for type constraints, Mouse native
       types should also work fine.

        package Kitchen {
          use Mouse;
          use Sub::HandlesVia;

          has food => (
            is          => 'ro',
            isa         => 'ArrayRef[Str]',
            handles_via => 'Array',
            default     => sub { [] },
            handles     => {
              'add_food'    => 'push',
              'find_food'   => 'grep',
            },
          );
        }

   True MouseX::NativeTraits Drop-In Syntax
       Sub::HandlesVia will also recognize MouseX::NativeTraits-style "traits". It will jump in
       and handle them before MouseX::NativeTraits notices!

        package Kitchen {
          use Mouse;
          use Sub::HandlesVia;

          has food => (
            is          => 'ro',
            isa         => 'ArrayRef[Str]',
            traits      => ['Array'],
            default     => sub { [] },
            handles     => {
              'add_food'    => 'push',
              'find_food'   => 'grep',
            },
          );
        }
