486 | =head1 NAME |
487 | |
6ba6d68c |
488 | Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass |
c0e30cf5 |
489 | |
490 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
491 | |
e522431d |
492 | This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific |
6ba6d68c |
493 | extensions. |
494 | |
495 | For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an |
496 | instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep |
497 | introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer |
498 | to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation. |

500 | =head1 METHODS |
501 | |
6ba6d68c |
502 | =head2 Overridden methods |
503 | |
504 | These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add |
505 | Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they |
506 | will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does. |

524 | =head2 Additional Moose features |
525 | |
8449e6e7 |
526 | Moose attributes support type-constraint checking, weak reference |
6ba6d68c |
527 | creation and type coercion. |

531 | =item B<clone_and_inherit_options> |
532 | |
533 | This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute |
534 | from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made |
535 | to the attribute. |
536 | |
a15dff8d |
537 | =item B<has_type_constraint> |
538 | |
6ba6d68c |
539 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint. |
540 | |
a15dff8d |
541 | =item B<type_constraint> |
542 | |
6ba6d68c |
543 | A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For |
544 | more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation |
545 | for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>. |
a15dff8d |

452bac1b |
547 | =item B<has_handles> |
548 | |
549 | Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation. |
550 | |
551 | =item B<handles> |
552 | |
553 | This returns the value which was passed into the handles option. |
554 | |
6ba6d68c |
555 | =item B<is_weak_ref> |
a15dff8d |
556 | |
02a0fb52 |
557 | Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference. |
4b598ea3 |
558 | |
ca01a97b |
559 | =item B<is_required> |
560 | |
02a0fb52 |
561 | Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value. |
ca01a97b |
562 | |
563 | =item B<is_lazy> |
564 | |
02a0fb52 |
565 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily. |
ca01a97b |
566 | |
567 | NOTE: lazy attributes, B<must> have a C<default> field set. |
568 | |
34a66aa3 |
569 | =item B<should_coerce> |
4b598ea3 |
570 | |
02a0fb52 |
571 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform type coercion. |
6ba6d68c |
572 | |
536f0b17 |
573 | =item B<should_auto_deref> |
574 | |
575 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform automatic |
576 | auto-dereferencing. |
577 | |
578 | NOTE: This can only be done for attributes whose type constraint is |
579 | either I<ArrayRef> or I<HashRef>. |
580 | |
8c9d74e7 |
581 | =item B<has_trigger> |
582 | |
02a0fb52 |
583 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a trigger set. |
584 | |
8c9d74e7 |
585 | =item B<trigger> |
586 | |
02a0fb52 |
587 | This is a CODE reference which will be executed every time the |
588 | value of an attribute is assigned. The CODE ref will get two values, |
589 | the invocant and the new value. This can be used to handle I<basic> |
590 | bi-directional relations. |
