MooseX::App::Simple(3)

NAME
MooseX::App::Simple - Single command applications

SYNOPSIS
  package MyApp;
  use MooseX::App::Simple qw(Config Color);

  parameter 'param' => (
      is            => 'rw',
      isa           => 'Str',
      documentation => q[First parameter],
      required      => 1,
  ); # Positional parameter

  option 'my_option' => (
      is            => 'rw',
      isa           => 'Bool',
      documentation => q[Enable this to do fancy stuff],
  ); # Option (--my_option)

  has 'private' => (
      is              => 'rw',
  ); # not exposed

  sub run {
      my ($self) = @_;
      # Do something
  }

And then in some simple wrapper script:

 #!/usr/bin/env perl
 use MyApp;
 MyApp->new_with_options->run;

DESCRIPTION
MooseX::App::Simple works basically just as MooseX::App, however it does not search for commands and assumes that you have all options and parameters defined in the current class.

Read the Tutorial for getting started with a simple MooseX::App command line application.

METHODS

  new_with_options
 my $myapp_command = MyApp->new_with_options();

This method reads the command line arguments from the user and tries to create instantiate the current class with the ARGV-input. If it fails it returns a MooseX::App::Message::Envelope object holding an error message.

You can pass a hash or hashref of default params to new_with_options

 MyApp->new_with_options( %default );

Optionally you can pass a custom ARGV to this constructor

 my $obj = MyApp->new_with_options( ARGV => \@myARGV );

However, if you do so you must take care of propper @ARGV encoding yourself.

OPTIONS
Same as in MooseX::App, however all options regarding command loading such as app_namespace and app_exclude are not available.

PLUGINS
Same as in MooseX::App. However plugings adding additional commands (eg. version) will have no effect with MooseX::App::Simple.
