NAME

MooseX::App::Simple - Single command applications

SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp;
  use MooseX::App::Simple qw(Config Color);
  
  parameter 'param' => (
      is            => 'rw',
      isa           => 'Str',
      documentation => q[First parameter],
      required      => 1,
  ); # Positional parameter
  
  option 'my_option' => (
      is            => 'rw',
      isa           => 'Bool',
      documentation => q[Enable this to do fancy stuff],
  ); # Option (--my_option)
  
  has 'private' => ( 
      is              => 'rw',
  ); # not exposed
  
  sub run {
      my ($self) = @_;
      # Do something
  }

And then in some simple wrapper script:

 #!/usr/bin/env perl
 use MyApp;
 MyApp->new_with_options->run;

DESCRIPTION

MooseX-App-Simple works basically just as MooseX-App, however it does not search for commands and assumes that you have all options defined in the current class.

Read the Tutorial for getting started with a simple MooseX::App command line application.

METHODS

new_with_options

 my $myapp_command = MyApp->new_with_options();

This method reads the command line arguments from the user and tries to create instantiate the current class with the ARGV-input. If it fails it retuns a MooseX::App::Message::Envelope object holding an error message.

You can pass a hash or hashref of default params to new_with_options

 MyApp->new_with_options( %default );

OPTIONS

Same as in MooseX::App

PLUGINS

Same as in MooseX::App. However plugings adding commands (eg. version) will not work with MooseX::App::Simple.
