NAME

Sub::Talisman::Struct - the spawn of MooX-Struct and Sub-Talisman

SYNOPSIS

        package Local::MyExample;
        
        use Sub::Talisman:::Struct
                Provenance => [qw( $creator $date )],
                Tested     => [qw( $status! )],
        ;
        
        sub myfunc :Provenance("Joe Bloggs","2012-10-19") :Tested("ok")
        {
                ...;
        }
        
        my $prov = Sub::Talisman::Struct
                ->get_attribute_parameters(\&myfunc, 'Provenance');
        
        say $prov->creator;  # says "Joe Bloggs"
        say $prov->date;     # says "2012-10-19"

DESCRIPTION

MooX::Struct creates light-weight objects which can have required attributes, type constraints, etc. Sub::Talisman allows you to associate data with subs. This module is a bit of glue between MooX::Struct and Sub::Talisman.

The import routine uses the same syntax as MooX::Struct, but instead of creating struct-like classes for you to use, it creates struct-like classes for Sub::Talisman to bless attribute parameters into.

Sub::Talisman::Struct itself is a subclass of Sub::Talisman, so inherits the get_attributes, get_attribute_parameters, get_subs and setup_for methods as documented.

Note that the term "attribute" is incredibly overloaded, applying both to the tags like :Provenance applied to the subs, and also to the members of Moo classes, so in depth discussions of this module will tend to descend into chaos. So I'll leave it at that for the documentation. If you need any further clarification, take a peek at the bundled test suite.
