The objects in that +recipe were very data-oriented, and did not have much in the way of +behavior (i.e. methods). In this recipe, we expand upon the concepts +from the first recipe to include some real behavior. In particular, we +show how you can use a method modifier to implement new behavior for a +method. + +The classes in the SYNOPSIS show two kinds of bank account. A simple +bank account has one attribute, the balance, and two behaviors, +depositing and withdrawing money. + +We then extend the basic bank account in the CheckingAccount +class. This class adds another attribute, an overdraft account. It +also adds overdraft protection to the withdraw method. If you try to +withdraw more than you have, the checking account attempts to +reconcile the difference by withdrawing money from the overdraft +account. (1) + +The first class, B<BankAccount>, introduces a new attribute feature, a +default value: + + has 'balance' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw', default => 0 ); + +This says that a B<BankAccount> has a C<balance> attribute, which has +an C<Int> type constraint, a read/write accessor, and a default value +of C<0>. This means that every instance of B<BankAccount> that is +created will have its C<balance> slot initialized to C<0>, unless some +other value is provided to the constructor. + +The C<deposit> and C<withdraw> methods should be fairly +self-explanatory, as they are just plain old Perl 5 OO. (2) + +As you know from the first recipe, the keyword C<extends> sets a +class's superclass. Here we see that B<CheckingAccount> C<extends> +B<BankAccount>. The next line introduces yet another new attribute +feature, class-based type constraints: + + has 'overdraft_account' => ( isa => 'BankAccount', is => 'rw' ); + +Up until now, we have only seen the C<Int> type constraint, which (as +we saw in the first recipe) is a builtin type constraint. The +C<BankAccount> type constraint is new, and was actually defined the +moment we created the B<BankAccount> class itself. In fact, Moose +creates a corresponding type constraint for every class in your +program (3). + +This means that in the first recipe, constraints for both C<Point> and +C<Point3D> were created. In this recipe, both C<BankAccount> and +C<CheckingAccount> type constraints are created automatically. Moose +does this as a convenience so that your classes and type constraint +can be kept in sync with one another. In short, Moose makes sure that +it will just DWIM (4). + +In B<CheckingAccount>, we see another method modifier, the C<before> +modifier. + + before 'withdraw' => sub { + my ( $self, $amount ) = @_; + my $overdraft_amount = $amount - $self->balance(); + if ( $self->overdraft_account && $overdraft_amount > 0 ) { + $self->overdraft_account->withdraw($overdraft_amount); + $self->deposit($overdraft_amount); + } + }; + +Just as with the C<after> modifier from the first recipe, Moose will +handle calling the superclass method (in this case C<< +BankAccount->withdraw >>). + +The C<before> modifier will (obviously) run I<before> the code from +the superclass is run. Here, C<before> modifier implements overdraft +protection by first checking if there are available funds in the +checking account. If not (and if there is an overdraft account +available), it transfers the amount needed into the checking +account (5). + +As with the method modifier in the first recipe, we could use +C<SUPER::> to get the same effect: + + sub withdraw { + my ( $self, $amount ) = @_; + my $overdraft_amount = $amount - $self->balance(); + if ( $self->overdraft_account && $overdraft_amount > 0 ) { + $self->overdraft_account->withdraw($overdraft_amount); + $self->deposit($overdraft_amount); + } + $self->SUPER::withdraw($amount); + } + +The benefit of taking the method modifier approach is we do not need +to remember to call C<SUPER::withdraw> and pass it the C<$amount> +argument when writing C<< CheckingAccount->withdraw >>. + +This is actually more than just a convenience for forgetful +programmers. Using method modifiers helps isolate subclasses from +changes in the superclasses. For instance, if B<< +BankAccount->withdraw >> were to add an additional argument of some +kind, the version of B<< CheckingAccount->withdraw >> which uses +C<SUPER::withdraw> would not pass that extra argument correctly, +whereas the method modifier version would automatically pass along all +arguments correctly. + +Just as with the first recipe, object instantiation uses the C<new> +method, which accepts named parameters. + + my $savings_account = BankAccount->new( balance => 250 ); + + my $checking_account = CheckingAccount->new( + balance => 100, + overdraft_account => $savings_account, + ); + +And as with the first recipe, a more in-depth example can be found in +the F<t/recipes/moose_cookbook_basics_recipe2.t> test file. + +=head1 CONCLUSION + +This recipe expanded on the basic concepts from the first recipe with +a more "real world" use case. + +=head1 FOOTNOTES + +=over 4 + +=item (1) + +If you're paying close attention, you might realize that there's a +circular loop waiting to happen here. A smarter example would have to +make sure that we don't accidentally create a loop between the +checking account and its overdraft account. + +=item (2) + +Note that for simple methods like these, which just manipulate some +single piece of data, it is often not necessary to write them at all. +For instance, C<deposit> could be implemented via the C<inc> native +delegation for counters - see +L<Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter> for more specifics, +and L<Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native> for a broader overview. + +=item (3) + +In reality, this creation is sensitive to the order in which modules +are loaded. In more complicated cases, you may find that you need to +explicitly declare a class type before the corresponding class is +loaded. + +=item (4) + +Moose does not attempt to encode a class's is-a relationships within +the type constraint hierarchy. Instead, Moose just considers the class +type constraint to be a subtype of C<Object>, and specializes the +constraint check to allow for subclasses. This means that an instance +of B<CheckingAccount> will pass a C<BankAccount> type constraint +successfully. For more details, please refer to the +L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints> documentation. + +=item (5) + +If the overdraft account does not have the amount needed, it will +throw an error. Of course, the overdraft account could also have +overdraft protection.
