472 | =head1 NAME |
473 | |
6ba6d68c |
474 | Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass |
c0e30cf5 |
475 | |
476 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
477 | |
e522431d |
478 | This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific |
6ba6d68c |
479 | extensions. |
480 | |
481 | For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an |
482 | instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep |
483 | introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer |
484 | to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation. |

486 | =head1 METHODS |
487 | |
6ba6d68c |
488 | =head2 Overridden methods |
489 | |
490 | These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add |
491 | Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they |
492 | will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does. |

510 | =head2 Additional Moose features |
511 | |
512 | Moose attributes support type-contstraint checking, weak reference |
513 | creation and type coercion. |

517 | =item B<clone_and_inherit_options> |
518 | |
519 | This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute |
520 | from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made |
521 | to the attribute. |
522 | |
a15dff8d |
523 | =item B<has_type_constraint> |
524 | |
6ba6d68c |
525 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint. |
526 | |
a15dff8d |
527 | =item B<type_constraint> |
528 | |
6ba6d68c |
529 | A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For |
530 | more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation |
531 | for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>. |

533 | =item B<has_handles> |
534 | |
535 | Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation. |
536 | |
537 | =item B<handles> |
538 | |
539 | This returns the value which was passed into the handles option. |
540 | |
6ba6d68c |
541 | =item B<is_weak_ref> |
a15dff8d |
542 | |
02a0fb52 |
543 | Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference. |
4b598ea3 |
544 | |
ca01a97b |
545 | =item B<is_required> |
546 | |
02a0fb52 |
547 | Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value. |
ca01a97b |
548 | |
549 | =item B<is_lazy> |
550 | |
02a0fb52 |
551 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily. |
ca01a97b |
552 | |
553 | NOTE: lazy attributes, B<must> have a C<default> field set. |
554 | |
34a66aa3 |
555 | =item B<should_coerce> |
4b598ea3 |
556 | |
02a0fb52 |
557 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform type coercion. |
6ba6d68c |
558 | |
536f0b17 |
559 | =item B<should_auto_deref> |
560 | |
561 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform automatic |
562 | auto-dereferencing. |
563 | |
564 | NOTE: This can only be done for attributes whose type constraint is |
565 | either I<ArrayRef> or I<HashRef>. |
566 | |
8c9d74e7 |
567 | =item B<has_trigger> |
568 | |
02a0fb52 |
569 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a trigger set. |
570 | |
8c9d74e7 |
571 | =item B<trigger> |
572 | |
02a0fb52 |
573 | This is a CODE reference which will be executed every time the |
574 | value of an attribute is assigned. The CODE ref will get two values, |
575 | the invocant and the new value. This can be used to handle I<basic> |
576 | bi-directional relations. |
