The document discusses Moose, a popular object framework for Perl. It covers key Moose concepts like attributes, inheritance, roles, and method modifiers. It also mentions related modules like Moo for faster performance, MooseX for extensions, and MooseX::App for building applications. The document focuses on declarative object orientation and best practices with Moose.

9. Prelude
● Declarative
● Focus TDD(esign) and Single Responsibility
● Standard Paradigm (Mo[ou].* and Perl6)
● Focus on returning business value / solution

10. Moose

11. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled

12. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new

13. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new

14. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new({name=>'Raf'})

15. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new({name=>'Raf'})
● $person->name() immutable
● $person->age(5)
● $age = $person->age()

16. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new
● get_name, get_age, set_age

17. Moose
● strict and warnings pragmas enabled
● Constructor : Person->new
● get_name (immutable), get_age, set_age
● Type checking (isa)

18. Attributes

19. Attributes
● is (mutability)

20. Attributes
● is (mutability)
– ro
– rw

21. Attributes
● is (mutability)
● isa (type validation)

22. Attributes
● is (mutability)
● isa (type validation)
– Class (or Role) name eg. Person

23. Attributes
● is (mutability)
● isa (type validation)
– Class (or Role) name eg. Person
– Object, Int, Str, Bool, Undef, Def,

24. Attributes
● is (mutability)
● isa (type validation)
– Class (or Role) name eg. Person
– Object, Int, Str, Bool, Undef, Def,
– Ref (ScalarRef, ArrayRef, HashRef)

25. Attributes
● default
– default => $scalar || $sub_ref

26. Attributes
● default
– default => $scalar || $sub_ref

27. Attributes
● builder, lazy
– builder => method name

28. Attributes
● builder, lazy
– builder => method name

29. Attributes
● lazy_build => 1

30. Attributes
● handles
– Proxies methods

34. Attributes
● reader, writer
– reader => 'get_vm_config'
– writer => 'persist_vm_config'

35. Attributes

– reader => 'get_vm_config'
– writer => 'persist_vm_config'
● clearer => 'clear_attribute_name'

36. Attributes
● reader, writer
– reader => 'get_vm_config'
– writer => 'persist_vm_config'
● clearer => 'clear_attribute_name'
● predicate => 'is_verbose'

37. Attributes
● reader, writer
– reader => 'get_vm_config'
– writer => 'persist_vm_config'
● clearer => 'clear_attribute_name'
● predicate => 'is_verbose'
● trigger => &sub_ref

38. Inheritance
● extends
Ape
Person

39. Method Resolution Order
Animal
RomulanHorse Bird
Pegasus
• Perl depth-first: [Pegasus → Horse → Animal, Bird]
• eg. Animal::brain has higher precedence than Bird::brain
• C3 MRO breadth first: [Pegasus, Horse, Bird, Animal]
use base qw(Horse Bird)
vs
extends qw(Horse Bird);

40. Roles
● Cross cutting characteristics (attribs &
methods)
● Like Interface and Abstract Classes
● Base class which defines a behavioural
contract with an optional partial implementation

41. Roles

42. Role

43. Roles

44. Roles

45. Roles
Consume role

declarations

46. Method Modifiers
● Aspects – non-core cross-cutting behaviour
● Advice (do this) eg. A sub ref
● Point-cut (do the advice at these point of my
execution) Before, After and Around

63. And they all play together

64. Avoid Starup Costs with Moo
● Pure Perl

65. Avoid Starup Costs with Moo
● Pure Perl
● Painless integration with Moose deps (auto
upgrades and does meta-magic)

66. Avoid Starup Costs with Moo
● Pure Perl
● Painless integration with Moose deps (auto
upgrades and does meta-magic)
● Fast

67. MooseX
● Lots of Extensions
● MooseX::Types
● MooseX::GetOpt
● MooseX::App
● MooseX::Aspect

68. MooseX::App::Simple

69. MooseX::App::Simple

70. Meta Magic
● Refelection
● __PACKAGE__->meta
– > get_all_subclasses
– > get_all_attributes
– > add_attribute
– > magix

71. Recommendations
● use namespace::clean
● Use MooseX::FollowPBP
● Test::Routine – test with fixture roles and
various permutations of test data.
● __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

72. no Moose;
