=head1 NAME

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithMite - using Sub::HandlesVia with Mite

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package MyApp::Kitchen {
   use MyApp::Mite;
   
   has food => (
     is          => 'ro',
     isa         => 'ArrayRef[Str]',
     handles_via => 'Array',
     default     => sub { [] },
     handles     => {
       'add_food'    => 'push',
       'find_food'   => 'grep',
     },
   );
 }

=head1 MANUAL

Sub::HandlesVia allows you to delegate methods from your class to the
values of your objects' attributes.

Conceptually, it allows you to define C<< $object->push_number($n) >>
to be a shortcut for C<< $object->numbers->push($n) >> except that
C<< $object->numbers >> is an arrayref, so doesn't have methods you
can call on it like C<push>.

Mite 0.009000 and above have built-in C<handles_via> support. Mite will
co-operate with Sub::HandlesVia to implement C<handles_via> and avoid your
project having a Sub::HandlesVia dependency!

=head2 Which Methods Can Be Delegated To?

The C<handles_via> option indicates which library of methods should be
available. Valid values include
L<Array|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Array>,
L<Blessed|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Blessed>,
L<Bool|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Bool>,
L<Code|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Code>,
L<Counter|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Counter>,
L<Enum|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Enum>,
L<Hash|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Hash>,
L<Number|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Number>,
L<Scalar|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Scalar>, and
L<String|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::String>.

An arrayref can be provided for C<handles_via>, though many of the options
are conceptually contradictory.

 handles_via => [ 'Number', 'Scalar' ]

=head2 C<< use Sub::HandlesVia >>

Mite goes to a lot of effort to avoid you needing to C<< use Sub::HandlesVia >>
directly in your classes and roles, and thus avoid you needing to add it as
a dependency.

However, there are edge cases that it might not handle. In these cases, you
should be able to C<< use SubHandlesVia >> in your code I<< after >> your
C<< use MyApp::Mite >> and Sub::HandlesVia will intervene and make things
work. This adds a dependency on Sub::HandlesVia though.

 package MyApp::Kitchen {
   use MyApp::Mite;
   use Sub::HandlesVia;
   
   has food => (
     is          => 'ro',
     isa         => 'ArrayRef[Str]',
     handles_via => 'Array',
     default     => sub { [] },
     handles     => {
       'add_food'    => 'push',
       'find_food'   => 'grep',
     },
   );
 }

Now Mite will no longer generate C<add_food> and C<find_food> methods in your
F<Kitchen.pm.mite.pm> file when you run C<< mite compile >>. Instead,
Sub::HandlesVia will generate them at run-time when your application runs.
