465 | =head1 NAME |
466 | |
6ba6d68c |
467 | Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass |
c0e30cf5 |
468 | |
469 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
470 | |
e522431d |
471 | This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific |
6ba6d68c |
472 | extensions. |
473 | |
474 | For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an |
475 | instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep |
476 | introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer |
477 | to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation. |

479 | =head1 METHODS |
480 | |
6ba6d68c |
481 | =head2 Overridden methods |
482 | |
483 | These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add |
484 | Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they |
485 | will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does. |

505 | =head2 Additional Moose features |
506 | |
507 | Moose attributes support type-contstraint checking, weak reference |
508 | creation and type coercion. |

511 | |
512 | =item B<has_type_constraint> |
513 | |
6ba6d68c |
514 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint. |
515 | |
a15dff8d |
516 | =item B<type_constraint> |
517 | |
6ba6d68c |
518 | A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For |
519 | more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation |
520 | for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>. |

522 | =item B<has_handles> |
523 | |
524 | Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation. |
525 | |
526 | =item B<handles> |
527 | |
528 | This returns the value which was passed into the handles option. |
529 | |
6ba6d68c |
530 | =item B<is_weak_ref> |
a15dff8d |
531 | |
02a0fb52 |
532 | Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference. |
4b598ea3 |
533 | |
ca01a97b |
534 | =item B<is_required> |
535 | |
02a0fb52 |
536 | Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value. |
ca01a97b |
537 | |
538 | =item B<is_lazy> |
539 | |
02a0fb52 |
540 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily. |
ca01a97b |
541 | |
542 | NOTE: lazy attributes, B<must> have a C<default> field set. |
543 | |
34a66aa3 |
544 | =item B<should_coerce> |
4b598ea3 |
545 | |
02a0fb52 |
546 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform type coercion. |
6ba6d68c |
547 | |
536f0b17 |
548 | =item B<should_auto_deref> |
549 | |
550 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform automatic |
551 | auto-dereferencing. |
552 | |
553 | NOTE: This can only be done for attributes whose type constraint is |
554 | either I<ArrayRef> or I<HashRef>. |
555 | |
8c9d74e7 |
556 | =item B<has_trigger> |
557 | |
02a0fb52 |
558 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a trigger set. |
559 | |
8c9d74e7 |
560 | =item B<trigger> |
561 | |
02a0fb52 |
562 | This is a CODE reference which will be executed every time the |
563 | value of an attribute is assigned. The CODE ref will get two values, |
564 | the invocant and the new value. This can be used to handle I<basic> |
565 | bi-directional relations. |
