NAME
    MooseX::Has::Sugar - Sugar Syntax for moose 'has' fields

VERSION
    version 0.0405

SYNOPSIS
    Moose "has" syntax is generally fine, but sometimes one gets bothered
    with the constant typing of string quotes for things. MooseX::Types
    exists and in many ways reduces the need for constant string creation.

  Primary Benefits at a Glance
   Reduced Typing in "has" declarations.
    The constant need to type "=>" and '' is fine for one-off cases, but the
    instant you have more than about 4 attributes it starts to get annoying.

   More compact declarations.
    Reduces much of the redundant typing in most cases, which makes your
    life easier, and makes it take up less visual space, which makes it
    faster to read.

   No String Worries
    Strings are often problematic, due to white-space etc. Noted that if you
    do happen to mess them up, Moose should at *least* warn you that you've
    done something daft. Using this alleviates that worry.

  Before this Module.
   Classical Moose
        has foo => (
                isa => 'Str',
                is  => 'ro',
                required => 1,
        );

        has bar => (
                isa => 'Str',
                is => 'rw'
                lazy_build => 1,
        );

   Lazy Evil way to do it:
    PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS

        has qw( foo isa Str is ro required 1 );
        has qw( bar isa Str is rw lazy_build 1 );

  With this module
    ( and with MooseX::Types )

        use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
        use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

        has foo => (
                isa => Str,
                ro,
                required,
        );
        has bar => (
                isa => Str,
                rw,
                lazy_build,
        );

    Or even

        use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
        use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

        has foo => ( isa => Str, ro,  required, );
        has bar => ( isa => Str, rw,  lazy_build, );

  Alternative Forms
   Basic "is" Expansion Only
    ( using MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal instead )

        use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
        use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;

        has foo => (
                isa => Str,
                is  => ro,
                required => 1,
        );
        has bar => (
                isa => Str,
                is => rw,
                lazy_build => 1,
        );

   Attribute Expansions with Basic Expansions
    ( Combining parts of this and MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal )

        use MooseX::Types::Moose qw( Str );
        use MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal;
        use MooseX::Has::Sugar qw( :attrs );

        has foo => (
                isa => Str,
                is  => ro,
                required,
        );
        has bar => (
                isa => Str,
                is => rw,
                lazy_build,
        );

EXPORT GROUPS
  :default
    Since 0.0300, this exports all our syntax, the same as ":attrs
    :isattrs". Primarily because I found you generally want all the sugar,
    not just part of it. This also gets rid of that nasty exclusion logic.

  :isattrs
    This exports "ro", "rw" and "bare" as lists, so they behave as
    stand-alone attrs like "lazy" does.

        has foo => (
                required,
                isa => 'Str',
                ro,
        );

    NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal :
    "CONFLICTS"

  :attrs
    This exports "lazy" , "lazy_build" and "required", "coerce", "weak_ref"
    and "auto_deref" as subs that assume positive.

        has foo => (
                required,
                isa => 'Str',
        );

    NOTE: This option is incompatible with MooseX::Types and
    Moose::Util::TypeConstraints : "CONFLICTS"

  :is
    DEPRECATED. See MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal for the same functionality

  :allattrs
    DEPRECATED, just use ":default" or do

        use MooseX::Has::Sugar;

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
  bare
    returns "('is','bare')"

  ro
    returns "('is','ro')"

  rw
    returns "('is','rw')"

  required
    returns "('required',1)"

  lazy
    returns "('lazy',1)"

  lazy_build
    returns "('lazy_build',1)"

  weak_ref
    returns "('weak_ref',1)"

  coerce
    returns "('coerce',1)"

    WARNING: Conflict with MooseX::Types and Moose::Util::TypeConstraints,
    see CONFLICTS.

  auto_deref
    returns "('auto_deref',1)"

CONFLICTS
  MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal
  MooseX::Has::Sugar::Saccharin
    This module is not intended to be used in conjunction with
    MooseX::Has::Sugar::Minimal or MooseX::Has::Sugar::Saccharin

    We export many of the same symbols and its just not very sensible.

  MooseX::Types
  Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    due to exporting the "coerce" symbol, using us in the same scope as a
    call to

        use MooseX::Types ....

    or use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

    will result in a symbol collision.

    We recommend using and creating proper type libraries instead, ( which
    will absolve you entirely of the need to use MooseX::Types and
    MooseX::Has::Sugar(::*)? in the same scope )
