=head1 NAME
C<Sublike::Extended> - enable extended features when parsing C<sub>-like syntax
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for highlighter language=perl
use v5.26;
use Sublike::Extended;
use experimental 'signatures';
extended sub greet (:$name = "world") {
say "Hello, $name";
}
greet( name => $ENV{USER} );
Or, I<since version 0.29:>
use v5.26;
use Sublike::Extended 0.29 'sub';
use experimental 'signatures';
sub greet (:$name = "world") {
say "Hello, $name";
}
greet( name => $ENV{USER} );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module extends the syntax for declaring named or anonymous subroutines
using Perl's builtin C<sub> keyword, or other similar keywords provided by
third-party modules, to enable parsing of extra features.
By default, this module provides a new keyword, L<C<extended>|/extended>,
which parses the extra syntax required. Optionally I<since version 0.29>, this
module can additionally take over the handling of the C<sub> keyword itself,
allowing this extra syntax to be used without the C<extended> prefix keyword.
As this ability may be surprising to unsuspecting readers, this is not done by
default and must be explicitly requested with the C<sub> import argument:
use Sublike::Extended 'sub';
On Perl 5.38 or above, this can also take over handling of the C<method>
keyword when using C<feature 'class'>.
use Sublike::Extended 'method';
Currently, the only extended features that are provided are related to the
parsing of a subroutine signature. Since signatures are only available on Perl
version 5.26 or later, this module is unlikely to be useful in earlier
versions of Perl.
=head2 Named parameters
Extended subroutines can declare named parameters in the signature, after any
positional ones. These take the form of a name prefixed by a colon character.
The caller of such a function should pass values for these parameters by the
usual name-value pair syntax that would be used for passing into a regular
hash. Within the body of the subroutine the values passed into these are
unpacked into regular lexical variables.
sub colour (:$red, :$green, :$blue) {
... # $red, $green and $blue are available as regular lexicals
}
# argument order at the caller site is not important
colour(green => 1, blue => 2, red => 3);
Positional parameters I<can> be placed after optional positional ones, but in
order to make use of them the caller would have to pass a value for every
positional parameter including the optional ones first. This is unlikely to be
very useful; if you want to have optional parameters and named parameters, use
named optional ones after any I<mandatory> positional parameters.
As with positional parameters, they are normally mandatory, but can be made
optional by supplying a defaulting expression. If the caller fails to pass a
value corresponding to an optional parameter, the default expression is
evaluated and used instead.
sub f (:$x0, :$x1, :$x2 = 0) { ... }
# The caller must provide x0 and x1, but x2 is optional
I<Since version 0.23> named parameters can be given defaulting expressions
with the C<//=> or C<||=> operators, meaning their defaults apply also if the
caller passed a present-but-undef, or present-but-false value.
sub f (:$x0, :$x1, :$x2 //= 0) { ... }
# $x2 will be set to 0 even if the caller passes x2 => undef
An optional slurpy hash or (I<since version 0.24>) slurpy array is also
permitted after all of these. It will contain the values of any other
name-value pairs given by the caller, after those corresponding to named
parameters have already been extracted.
sub g (:$alpha, :$beta, %rest) { ... }
sub g (:$alpha, :$beta, @rest) { ... }
In the case of a slurpy array, it will contain every argument value that was
not consumed as a named parameter pair, in the original order passed by the
caller, including any duplicates.
=head2 Parameter Attributes
Parameters to extended subroutines can use attribute syntax to apply extra
attributes to individual parameters.
sub info ($x :Attribute) { ... }
Any attributes that are available are ones that have been previously
registered with L<XS::Parse::Sublike> using its XS-level API. The particular
behaviour of such an attribute would be defined by whatever module provided
the attribute.
=head1 KEYWORDS
=head2 extended
extended sub NAME (SIGNATURE...) { BODY... }
extended sub (SIGNATURE...) { BODY... };
This prefix keyword enables extra parsing features when handling a C<sub> (or
other sub-like function keyword).
This keyword can be freely mixed with other C<sub>-prefix keywords, such as
C<async> from L<Future::AsyncAwait>
async extended sub f (:$param) { ... }
This can also be used with other keywords that provide C<sub>-like syntax,
such as C<method> from L<Object::Pad> or the core C<use feature 'class'>.
extended method f (:$param) { ... }
