NAME

MooseX::Extended::Role - MooseX::Extended roles

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

package Not::Corinna::Role::Created {
    use MooseX::Extended::Role;
    use MooseX::Extended::Types qw(PositiveInt);

    field created => ( isa => PositiveInt, default => sub { time } );
}

Similar to MooseX::Extended, this provides field and param to the role.

Note that there is no need to add a 1 at the end of the role.

IDENTICAL METHOD NAMES IN CLASSES AND ROLES

In Moose if a class defines a method of the name as the method of a role it's consuming, the role's method is silently discarded. With MooseX::Extended::Role, you get a warning. This makes maintenance easier when to prevent you from accidentally overriding a method.

For example:

package My::Role {
    use MooseX::Extended::Role;

    sub name {'Ovid'}
}

package My::Class {
    use MooseX::Extended;
    with 'My::Role';
    sub name {'Bob'}
}

The above code will still run, but you'll get a very verbose warning:

The class My::Class has implicitly overridden the method (name) from
role My::Role. If this is intentional, please exclude the method from
composition to silence this warning (see Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe2)

To silence the warning, just be explicit about your intent:

package My::Class {
    use MooseX::Extended;
    with 'My::Role' => { -excludes => ['name'] };
    sub name {'Bob'}
}
