Description
This is a utility module that handles all of the same functions that Moose::Util handles. In fact, most
of the functions exported by this package are simply re-exports from Moose::Util, so you're recommended
to read the documentation of that module for a comprehensive view.
However.
We've re-implemented a number of the functions our parent provides, for a variety of reasons. Those
functions are documented here.
Functions
with_traits(<classname>=>(<trait1>,...))
Given a class and one or more traits, we construct an anonymous class that is a subclass of the given
class and consumes the traits given. This is exactly the same as "with_traits" in Moose::Util, except
that we use "create_anon_class" in MooseX::Util::Meta::Class to construct the anonymous class, rather
than "create_anon_class" in Moose::Meta::Class directly.
Essentially, this means that when we do:
my $anon_class_name = with_traits('Zombie::Catcher', 'SomeTrait');
For $anon_class_name we get:
Zombie::Catcher::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
Rather than:
Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
This is nice because we have an idea of where the first anonymous class came from, whereas the second one
could could be from anywhere.
is_private
# true if "private"
... if is_private('_some_name');
Ofttimes we need to determine if a name is considered "private" or not. By convention, method,
attribute, and other names are considered private if their first character is an underscore.
While trivial to test for, this allows us to centralize the tests in one place.
