NAME
MooseX::ABCD - MooseX::ABC, but checking required methods on
make_immutable
SYNOPSIS
{
package Shape;
use Moose;
use MooseX::ABCD;
requires 'draw';
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
}
{
package Circle;
use Moose;
extends 'Shape';
sub draw {
...;
}
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
}
my $shape = Shape->new; # dies
my $circle = Circle->new; # succeeds
{
package Square;
use Moose;
extends 'Shape';
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
# ^^^ dies, draw is unimplemented
}
DESCRIPTION
What does ABCD stand for? Hmmm... maybe "abstract base classes
deferred"? or "abstract base classes declare-compatible"? (This module
works with MooseX::Declare, whereas MooseX::ABC does not!)
Anyway, whatever ABCD does or does not stand for, this is what
MooseX::ABCD does: it works just like MooseX::ABC, the checks that
derived classes implement all abstract methods happen when the class is
made immutable, not when inheritance is set up.
Why? It works better with MooseX::Declare this way.
Functions
This module exports one function to your namespace:
"requires"
Works like "requires" in Moose roles, but for classes.
