## NAME
    [Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Mooseish_MooseSugar](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3ACookbook%3A%3AExtending%3A%3AMooseishMooseSugar/markdown) - Acting like Moose.pm and providing sugar
    Moose-style

## VERSION
    version 2.2200

## SYNOPSIS
      package [MyApp::Mooseish](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AMooseish/markdown);

      use [Moose::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3AExporter/markdown);

      [Moose::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3AExporter/markdown)->setup_import_methods(
          with_meta       => ['has_table'],
          class_metaroles => {
              class => ['[MyApp::Meta::Class::Trait::HasTable](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AMeta%3A%3AClass%3A%3ATrait%3A%3AHasTable/markdown)'],
          },
      );

      sub has_table {
          my $meta = shift;
          $meta->table(shift);
      }

      package [MyApp::Meta::Class::Trait::HasTable](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AMeta%3A%3AClass%3A%3ATrait%3A%3AHasTable/markdown);
      use [Moose::Role](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3ARole/markdown);

      has table => (
          is  => 'rw',
          isa => 'Str',
      );

## DESCRIPTION
    This recipe expands on the use of [Moose::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3AExporter/markdown) we saw in
    [Moose::Cookbook::Extending::ExtensionOverview](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3ACookbook%3A%3AExtending%3A%3AExtensionOverview/markdown) and the class metaclass trait we saw in
    [Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Table_MetaclassTrait](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3ACookbook%3A%3AMeta%3A%3ATableMetaclassTrait/markdown). In this example we provide our own metaclass trait,
    and we also export a "has_table" sugar function.

    The "with_meta" parameter specifies a list of functions that should be wrapped before exporting.
    The wrapper simply ensures that the importing package's appropriate metaclass object is the
    first argument to the function, so we can do "my $meta = shift;".

    See the [Moose::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Moose%3A%3AExporter/markdown) docs for more details on its API.

USING [MyApp::Mooseish](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AMooseish/markdown)
    The purpose of all this code is to provide a Moose-like interface. Here's what it would look
    like in actual use:

      package [MyApp::User](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AUser/markdown);

      use [namespace::autoclean](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/namespace%3A%3Aautoclean/markdown);

      use Moose;
      use [MyApp::Mooseish](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/MyApp%3A%3AMooseish/markdown);

      has_table 'User';

      has 'username' => ( is => 'ro' );
      has 'password' => ( is => 'ro' );

      sub login { ... }

## CONCLUSION
    Providing sugar functions can make your extension look much more Moose-ish. See [Fey::ORM](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Fey%3A%3AORM/markdown) for a
    more extensive example.
