What is the best way to create a class attribute in Moose?

moose, perl

Solution

I found MooseX::ClassAttribute, but it looks ugly. Is this the cleanest way?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use MooseX::Declare;

class User {
    use MooseX::ClassAttribute;

    class_has id_pool => (isa => "Int", is => 'rw', default => 0);

    has id      => (isa => "Str", is => 'ro', builder => '_get_id');
    has name    => (isa => "Str", is => 'ro');
    has balance => (isa => "Num", is => 'rw', default => 0);

    #FIXME: this should use a database  
    method _get_id {
        return __PACKAGE__->id_pool(__PACKAGE__->id_pool+1);
    }
}

my @users;
for my $name (qw/alice bob charlie/) {
    push @users, User->new(name => $name);
};

for my $user (@users) {
    print $user->name, " has an id of ", $user->id, "\n";
}
