NAME

       MooseX::Has::Sugar - Sugar Syntax for moose 'has' fields

VERSION

       version 0.05070422

SYNOPSIS

       Moose "has" syntax is generally fine, but sometimes one gets bothered with the constant
       typing of string quotes for things. The MooseX::Types module exists and in many ways
       reduces the need for constant string creation.

   Primary Benefits at a Glance
       Reduced Typing in "has" declarations.

       The constant need to type "=>" and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the instant you have
       more than about 4 attributes it starts to get annoying.

       More compact declarations.

       Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your life easier, and
       makes it take up less visual space, which makes it faster to read.

       No String Worries

       Strings are often problematic, due to white-space etc. Noted that if you do happen to mess
       them up, Moose should at least warn you that you've done something daft. Using this
       alleviates that worry.

   Before this Module.
       Classical Moose

           has foo => (
                   isa => 'Str',
                   is  => 'ro',
                   required => 1,
           );

           has bar => (
                   isa => 'Str',
                   is => 'rw'
                   lazy_build => 1,
           );

       Lazy Evil way to do it:

       PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS

           has qw( foo isa Str is ro required 1 );
           has qw( bar isa Str is rw lazy_build 1 );

   With this module
       ( and with MooseX::Types )

           use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
           use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

           has foo => (
                   isa => Str,
                   ro,
                   required,
           );
           has bar => (
                   isa => Str,
                   rw,
                   lazy_build,
           );

       Or even

           use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
           use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

           has foo => ( isa => Str, ro,  required, );
           has bar => ( isa => Str, rw,  lazy_build, );

   Alternative Forms
       Basic "is" Expansion Only

       ( using ::Sugar::Minimal instead )

           use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
           use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;

           has foo => (
                   isa => Str,
                   is  => ro,
                   required => 1,
           );
           has bar => (
                   isa => Str,
                   is => rw,
                   lazy_build => 1,
           );

       Attribute Expansions with Basic Expansions

       ( Combining parts of this and ::Sugar::Minimal )

           use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
           use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;
           use MooseX::Has::Sugar qw( :attrs );

           has foo => (
                   isa => Str,
                   is  => ro,
                   required,
           );
           has bar => (
                   isa => Str,
                   is => rw,
                   lazy_build,
           );

EXPORT GROUPS

   ":default"
       Since 0.0300, this exports all our syntax, the same as ":attrs" ":isattrs".  Primarily
       because I found you generally want all the sugar, not just part of it.  This also gets rid
       of that nasty exclusion logic.

   ":isattrs"
       This exports "ro", "rw" and "bare" as lists, so they behave as stand-alone attributes like
       "lazy" does.

           has foo => (
                   required,
                   isa => 'Str',
                   ro,
           );

       NOTE: This option is incompatible with ::Sugar::Minimal : "CONFLICTS"

   ":attrs"
       This exports "lazy" , "lazy_build" and "required", "coerce", "weak_ref" and "auto_deref"
       as subs that assume positive.

           has foo => (
                   required,
                   isa => 'Str',
           );

       NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Types and Moose's Type Constraints Module :
       "CONFLICTS"

   ":is"
       DEPRECATED. See ::Sugar::Minimal for the same functionality

   ":allattrs"
       DEPRECATED, just use ":default" or do

           use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

   "bare"
       returns "('is','bare')"

   "ro"
       returns "('is','ro')"

   "rw"
       returns "('is','rw')"

   "required"
       returns "('required',1)"

   "lazy"
       returns "('lazy',1)"

   "lazy_build"
       returns "('lazy_build',1)"

   "weak_ref"
       returns "('weak_ref',1)"

   "coerce"
       returns "('coerce',1)"

       WARNING: Conflict with MooseX::Types and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints, see "CONFLICTS".

   "auto_deref"
       returns "('auto_deref',1)"

CONFLICTS

   MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal
   MooseX::Has::Sugar::Saccharin
       This module is not intended to be used in conjunction with
        ::Sugar::Minimal or ::Sugar::Saccharin

       We export many of the same symbols and its just not very sensible.

   MooseX::Types
   Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
       due to exporting the "coerce" symbol, using us in the same scope as a call to

           use MooseX::Types ....

       or
           use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

       will result in a symbol collision.

       We recommend using and creating proper type libraries instead, ( which will absolve you
       entirely of the need to use MooseX::Types and MooseX::Has::Sugar(::*)? in the same scope )
