If you wanted attributes as well, look at the Moo::Role manpage.
Role::Tiny is a minimalist role composition tool.
Role composition can be thought of as much more clever and meaningful multiple inheritance. The basics of this implementation of roles is:
Unlike the Class::C3 manpage, where the last class inherited from ``wins,'' role composition is the other way around, where the class wins. If multiple roles are applied in a single call (single with statement), then if any of their provided methods clash, an exception is raised unless the class provides a method since this conflict indicates a potential problem.
requires qw(foo bar);
Declares a list of methods that must be defined to compose role.
with 'Some::Role1';
with 'Some::Role1', 'Some::Role2';
Composes another role into the current role (or class via the Role::Tiny::With manpage).
If you have conflicts and want to resolve them in favour of Some::Role1 you can instead write:
with 'Some::Role1'; with 'Some::Role2';
If you have conflicts and want to resolve different conflicts in favour of different roles, please refactor your codebase.
before foo => sub { ... };
See before method(s) = sub { ... } in the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage> for full documentation.
Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers, the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as a dependency. If your the Role::Tiny manpage role uses modifiers you must depend on both the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage and the Role::Tiny manpage.
around foo => sub { ... };
See around method(s) = sub { ... } in the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage> for full documentation.
Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers, the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as a dependency. If your the Role::Tiny manpage role uses modifiers you must depend on both the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage and the Role::Tiny manpage.
after foo => sub { ... };
See after method(s) = sub { ... } in the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage> for full documentation.
Note that since you are not required to use method modifiers, the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage is lazily loaded and we do not declare it as a dependency. If your the Role::Tiny manpage role uses modifiers you must depend on both the Class::Method::Modifiers manpage and the Role::Tiny manpage.
In addition to importing subroutines, using Role::Tiny applies the strict manpage and
the warnings manpage to the caller.
if (Role::Tiny::does_role($foo, 'Some::Role')) {
...
}
Returns true if class has been composed with role.
This subroutine is also installed as ->does on any class a Role::Tiny is composed into unless that class already has an ->does method, so
if ($foo->does('Some::Role')) {
...
}
will work for classes but to test a role, one must use ::does_role directly.
Additionally, Role::Tiny will override the standard Perl DOES method
for your class. However, if any class in your class' inheritance
hierarchy provides DOES, then Role::Tiny will not override it.
Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_package( 'Some::Package', 'Some::Role', 'Some::Other::Role' );
Composes role with package. See also the Role::Tiny::With manpage.
Role::Tiny->apply_roles_to_object($foo, qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
Composes roles in order into object directly. Object is reblessed into the resulting class.
Role::Tiny->create_class_with_roles('Some::Base', qw(Some::Role1 Some::Role2));
Creates a new class based on base, with the roles composed into it in order. New class is returned.
Role::Tiny->is_role('Some::Role1')
Returns true if the given package is a role.
the Role::Tiny manpage is the attribute-less subset of the Moo::Role manpage; the Moo::Role manpage is a meta-protocol-less subset of the king of role systems, the Moose::Role manpage.
Ovid's the Role::Basic manpage provides roles with a similar scope, but without method modifiers, and having some extra usage restrictions.
