NAME

MooseX::Role::MissingMethodUtils - Getting rid of boilerplate AUTOLOAD stuff

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

    package Foo;
    use Moose;

    with 'MooseX::Role::MissingMethodUtils';

    sub method_missing {
        my ($self, $method_name, @params) = @_;

        if ( $method_name eq 'do_this' ) {
            Delegator->do_this; 
        }
    }

    sub responds_to {
        my ($self, $method_name) = @_;

        if ( $method_name =~ /foo/ )
        {
            return sub {
                print "Bar";
            }
        }
    }

DESCRIPTION

This role will now introduce a method named method_missing. This method is called via AUTOLOAD as a last resort in the calling chain.

Three parameters will be passed in to help with delegation: ref to self,method name, and parameters.

CALLBACKS

method_missing

Call back method that is called during the AUTOLOAD phase. It's unable to find a method and will call this method_missing as last resort for delegation.

responds_to

Call back method that is called during a "can" call. This method needs to just return a sub ref.

METHODS

AUTOLOAD

Just does all the boilerplate autoloading stuff. Will call "method_missing"

can

A subclass of can, will call "responds_to" if nothing is found in super.
