NAME

MooX::SetOnce - write-once attributes for Moo

SYNOPSIS

  package MyClass;
  use Moo;
  use MooX::SetOnce;

  has attr => ( is => 'rw', once => 1 );

DESCRIPTION

MooX::SetOnce creates attributes that are not lazy and not set, but that cannot be altered once set.

The logic is very simple: if you try to alter the value of an attribute with the SetOnce trait, either by accessor or writer, and the attribute has a value, it will throw an exception.

If the attribute has a clearer, you may clear the attribute and set it again.

If a Moose module extends or composes a module using MooX::SetOnce, MooseX::SetOnce will be loaded to provide the Moose implementation.
