443=head1 NAME
444
6ba6d68c 445Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass
c0e30cf5 446
447=head1 DESCRIPTION
448
e522431d 449This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific
6ba6d68c 450extensions.
451
452For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an
453instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep
454introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer
455to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation.
e522431d 456
c0e30cf5 457=head1 METHODS
458
6ba6d68c 459=head2 Overridden methods
460
461These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add
462Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they
463will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does.

6ba6d68c 481=head2 Additional Moose features
482
8449e6e7 483Moose attributes support type-constraint checking, weak reference
6ba6d68c 484creation and type coercion.

a15dff8d 486=over 4
487
9e93dd19 488=item B<clone_and_inherit_options>
489
490This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute
491from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made
492to the attribute.
493
a15dff8d 494=item B<has_type_constraint>
495
6ba6d68c 496Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint.
497
a15dff8d 498=item B<type_constraint>
499
6ba6d68c 500A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For
501more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation
502for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
a15dff8d 503
452bac1b 504=item B<has_handles>
505
506Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation.
507
508=item B<handles>
509
510This returns the value which was passed into the handles option.
511
6ba6d68c 512=item B<is_weak_ref>
a15dff8d 513
02a0fb52 514Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference.
4b598ea3 515
ca01a97b 516=item B<is_required>
517
02a0fb52 518Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value.
ca01a97b 519
520=item B<is_lazy>
521
02a0fb52 522Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily.
