NAME
    MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Extending - extending MooseX::Role::Parameterized roles

VERSION
    version 1.11

DESCRIPTION
    There are heaps of useful modules in the "MooseX" namespace that you can use to make your roles
    more powerful. However, they do not always work out of the box with MooseX::Role::Parameterized,
    but it's fairly straight-forward to achieve the functionality you desire.

    MooseX::Role::Parameterized was designed to be as extensible as the rest of Moose, and as such
    it is possible to apply custom traits to both the parameterizable role or the ordinary roles
    they generate. In this example, we will look at applying the fake trait "MooseX::MagicRole" to a
    parameterizable role.

    First we need to define a new metaclass for our parameterizable role.

        package MyApp::Meta::Role::Parameterizable;
        use Moose;
        extends 'MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameterizable';
        with 'MooseX::MagicRole';

    This is a class (observe that it uses Moose, not Moose::Role) which extends the class which
    governs parameterizable roles. MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameterizable is the
    metaclass that packages using MooseX::Role::Parameterized receive by default.

    Note that the class we are extending,
    MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameteriz*able*, is entirely distinct from the
    similarly-named class which governs the ordinary roles that parameterized roles generate. An
    instance of MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameteriz*ed* represents a role with its
    parameters already bound.

    Now we can take advantage of our new subclass by specifying that we want to use
    "MyApp::Meta::Role::Parameterizable" as our metaclass when importing
    MooseX::Role::Parameterized:

        package MyApp::Role;
        use MooseX::Role::Parameterized -metaclass => 'MyApp::Meta::Role::Parameterizable';

        role {
            ...
        }

    And there you go! "MyApp::Role" now has the "MooseX::MagicRole" trait applied.
