Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Debugging_BaseClassRole − Providing a role for the base object class
version 2.2206
package
MooseX::Debugging;
use Moose::Exporter;
Moose::Exporter−>setup_import_methods(
base_class_roles => ['MooseX::Debugging::Role::Object'],
);
package MooseX::Debugging::Role::Object;
use Moose::Role;
sub BUILD {}
after BUILD => sub {
my $self = shift;
warn "Made a new " . ( ref $self ) . "
object\n";
};
In this example, we provide a role for the base object class that adds some simple debugging output. Every time an object is created, it spits out a warning saying what type of object it was.
Obviously, a real debugging role would do something more interesting, but this recipe is all about how we apply that role.
In this case, with the combination of Moose::Exporter and Moose::Util::MetaRole, we ensure that when a module does "use MooseX::Debugging", it automatically gets the debugging role applied to its base object class.
There are a few pieces of code worth looking at more closely.
Moose::Exporter−>setup_import_methods(
base_class_roles => ['MooseX::Debugging::Role::Object'],
);
This creates an "import" method in the "MooseX::Debugging" package. Since we are not actually exporting anything, we do not pass "setup_import_methods" any parameters related to exports, but we need to have an "import" method to ensure that our "init_meta" method is called. The "init_meta" is created by "setup_import_methods" for us, since we passed the "base_class_roles" parameter. The generated "init_meta" will in turn call Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_base_class_roles.
sub BUILD {}
after BUILD => sub {
...
};
Due to the way role composition currently works, if the class that a role is composed into contains a "BUILD" method, then that will override the "BUILD" method in any roles it composes, which is typically not what you want. Using a method modifier on "BUILD" avoids this issue, since method modifiers compose together rather than being overridden. Method modifiers require that a method exists in order to wrap, however, so we also provide a stub method to wrap if no "BUILD" method exists in the class.
