in thread Enumerating all attributes of a Moo object

I'll also point out a technique you could use. Instead of FooFactory introspecting class Foo, you could have class Foo pass FooFactory all the information it needs. One simple way to do that is write a wrapper for has...

#!/usr/bin/env perl use v5.14; use Data::Dumper; package FooFactory { use Moo; has name => (is => "ro", required => 1); our @known_attributes; sub build_foo { my $self = shift; my %params = @_; my %attrs; for (@known_attributes) { $attrs{$_} = $params{$_} if exists $params{$_}; } 'Foo'->new(%attrs, maker => $self); } } package Foo { use Moo; sub my_has { my ($attr, %spec) = @_; # Inform FooFactory of the new attribute # Note we're ignoring init_arg for this simple example. push @FooFactory::known_attributes, $attr; has($attr, %spec); } my_has foo => (is => "ro"); my_has bar => (is => "ro"); my_has baz => (is => "ro"); my_has maker => (is => "ro"); } my $factory = 'FooFactory'->new(name => "Acme Inc"); my $obj = $factory->build_foo(bar => 42); print Dumper($obj);
package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

    Hi tobyink,

    another "Thank you" and ++ for that.

    Do you think this would be "good" design?

    Refering to the warning post above, don't you have to react on the %spec in the my_has-method, so that you really grab the accessor-name for the initialisation?

    Best regards
    McA
