=head1 DESCRIPTION
Roles have two primary purposes: as interfaces, and as a means of code
reuse. This recipe demonstrates the latter, with roles that define
comparison and display code for objects.
Let's start with C<Eq>. First, note that we've replaced C<use Moose>
with C<use Moose::Role>. We also have a new sugar function, C<requires>:
requires 'equal_to';
This says that any class which consumes this role must provide an
C<equal_to> method. It can provide this method directly, or by
consuming some other role.
The C<Eq> role defines its C<not_equal_to> method in terms of the
required C<equal_to> method. This lets us minimize the methods that
consuming classes must provide.
The next role, C<Comparable>, builds on the C<Eq> role. We include
C<Eq> in C<Comparable> using C<with>, another new sugar function:
with 'Eq';
The C<with> function takes a list of roles to consume. In our example,
the C<Comparable> role provides the C<equal_to> method required by
C<Eq>. However, it could opt not to, in which case a class that
consumed C<Comparable> would have to provide its own C<equal_to>. In
other words, a role can consume another role I<without> providing any
required methods.
The C<Comparable> role requires a method, C<compare>:
requires 'compare';
The C<Comparable> role also provides a number of other methods, all of
which ultimately rely on C<compare>.
sub equal_to {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->compare($other) == 0;
}
sub greater_than {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->compare($other) == 1;
}
sub less_than {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->compare($other) == -1;
}
sub greater_than_or_equal_to {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->greater_than($other) || $self->equal_to($other);
}
sub less_than_or_equal_to {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->less_than($other) || $self->equal_to($other);
}
Finally, we define the C<Printable> role. This role exists solely to
provide an interface. It has no methods, just a list of required methods.
In this case, it just requires a C<to_string> method.
An interface role is useful because it defines both a method and a
I<name>. We know that any class which does this role has a
C<to_string> method, but we can also assume that this method has the
semantics we want. Presumably, in real code we would define those
semantics in the documentation for the C<Printable> role. (1)
Finally, we have the C<US::Currency> class which consumes both the
C<Comparable> and C<Printable> roles.
with 'Comparable', 'Printable';
It also defines a regular Moose attribute, C<amount>:
has 'amount' => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Num', default => 0 );
Finally we see the implementation of the methods required by our
roles. We have a C<compare> method:
sub compare {
my ( $self, $other ) = @_;
$self->amount <=> $other->amount;
}
By consuming the C<Comparable> role and defining this method, we gain
the following methods for free: C<equal_to>, C<greater_than>,
C<less_than>, C<greater_than_or_equal_to> and
C<less_than_or_equal_to>.
Then we have our C<to_string> method:
sub to_string {
my $self = shift;
sprintf '$%0.2f USD' => $self->amount;
}
=head1 CONCLUSION
Roles can be very powerful. They are a great way of encapsulating
reusable behavior, as well as communicating (semantic and interface)
information about the methods our classes provide.
=head1 FOOTNOTES
=over 4
=item (1)
Consider two classes, C<Runner> and C<Process>, both of which define a
C<run> method. If we just require that an object implements a C<run>
method, we still aren't saying anything about what that method
I<actually does>. If we require an object that implements the
C<Executable> role, we're saying something about semantics.
