NAME
Role::Commons - roles that can be commonly used, for the mutual benefit of
all
SYNOPSIS
use 5.010;
{
package Local::Class;
use Moo;
use Role::Commons -all;
our $AUTHORITY = 'cpan:JOEBLOGGS';
our $VERSION = '1.000';
}
say Local::Class->AUTHORITY
if Local::Class->DOES('Role::Commons::Authority');
my $obj = Local::Class->new;
say $obj->object_id
if $obj->DOES('Role::Commons::ObjectID');
DESCRIPTION
Role-Commons is not yet another implementation of roles. It is a
collection of generic, reusable roles that hopefully you will love to
apply to your classes. These roles are built using Moo::Role, so
automatically integrate into the Moose object system if you're using it,
but they do not require Moose.
The Role::Commons module itself provides shortcuts for applying roles to
your package, so that instead of doing:
{
package Local::Class;
use Moo; # or "use Moose"
with qw( Role::Commons::Authority Role::Commons::ObjectID );
}
You can just do this:
{
package Local::Class;
use Moo;
use Role::Commons qw( Authority ObjectID );
}
It also handles passing some simple parameters through to the role from
the consuming class. (Because Moo doesn't have anything like
MooseX::Role::Parameterized.)
Roles
Role::Commons::Authority
Sets up a `AUTHORITY` method for your class which is conceptually a
little like `VERSION`.
Role::Commons::ObjectID
Provides an `object_id` method for your class which returns a unique
identifier for each object.
Role::Commons::Tap
Provides a `tap` method for your class, inspired by Ruby's method of
the same name. Helpful for writing chained method calls.
Obsolescence
Role-Commons is the successor for my older projects: authority-shared,
Object-AUTHORITY, Object-DOES, Object-Role, and Object-Tap.
Role-Commons bundles Object::AUTHORITY for the sake of backwards
compatibility. This is being phased out.
