# ABSTRACT: The Moose attribute metaclass for Roles

__END__

=pod

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class implements the API for attributes in roles. Attributes in roles are
more like attribute prototypes than full blown attributes. While they are
introspectable, they have very little behavior.

=head1 METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

=over 4

=item B<< Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute->new(...) >>

This method accepts all the options that would be passed to the constructor
for L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>.

=item B<< $attr->metaclass >>

=item B<< $attr->is >>

Returns the option as passed to the constructor.

=item B<< $attr->associated_role >>

Returns the L<Moose::Meta::Role> to which this attribute belongs, if any.

=item B<< $attr->original_role >>

Returns the L<Moose::Meta::Role> in which this attribute was first
defined. This may not be the same as the value C<associated_role()> in the
case of composite role, or the case where one role consumes other roles.

=item B<< $attr->original_options >>

Returns a hash reference of options passed to the constructor. This is used
when creating a L<Moose::Meta::Attribute> object from this object.

=item B<< $attr->attach_to_role($role) >>

Attaches the attribute to the given L<Moose::Meta::Role>.

=item B<< $attr->attribute_for_class($metaclass) >>

Given an attribute metaclass name, this method calls C<<
$metaclass->interpolate_class_and_new >> to construct an attribute object
which can be added to a L<Moose::Meta::Class>.

=item B<< $attr->clone >>

Creates a new object identical to the object on which the method is called.

=item B<< $attr->is_same_as($other_attr) >>

Compares two role attributes and returns true if they are identical.

=back

In addition, this class implements all informational predicates implements by
L<Moose::Meta::Attribute> (and L<Class::MOP::Attribute>).

=head1 BUGS

See L<Moose/BUGS> for details on reporting bugs.
