462 | Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else. |
c3398f5b |
463 | |
1820fffe |
464 | It adds the following options to the constructor: |
c3398f5b |
465 | |
1820fffe |
466 | =over 4 |
c3398f5b |
467 | |
612d3e1a |
468 | =item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >> |
c3398f5b |
469 | |
1820fffe |
470 | This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or |
471 | C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will |
472 | have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name. |
c3398f5b |
473 | |
1820fffe |
474 | If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method |
475 | with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a |
476 | read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same |
477 | name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided. |
c3398f5b |
478 | |
1820fffe |
479 | Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods |
480 | (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise, |
481 | Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a |
482 | metaclass. |
c3398f5b |
483 | |
612d3e1a |
484 | =item C<< isa => Type >> |
ab27a55e |
485 | |
1820fffe |
486 | This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be |
487 | a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class |
488 | name. |
ab27a55e |
489 | |
1820fffe |
490 | This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object. |
ab27a55e |
491 | |
1820fffe |
492 | If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must |
493 | be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with |
494 | C<does>. |
ab27a55e |
495 | |
612d3e1a |
496 | =item C<< does => Role >> |
ab27a55e |
497 | |
1820fffe |
498 | This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an |
499 | object which does the named role. |
c3398f5b |
500 | |
1820fffe |
501 | B<This option is not yet supported.> |
c3398f5b |
502 | |
612d3e1a |
503 | =item C<< coerce => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
504 | |
1820fffe |
505 | This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint |
506 | (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever |
507 | this attribute is set. |
c3398f5b |
508 | |
1820fffe |
509 | You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true. |
c3398f5b |
510 | |
612d3e1a |
511 | =item C<< trigger => CodeRef >> |
ab27a55e |
512 | |
1820fffe |
513 | This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after |
514 | the attribute is set. |
ab27a55e |
515 | |
612d3e1a |
516 | =item C<< required => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
517 | |
1820fffe |
518 | An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An |
519 | attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>, |
520 | which will satisfy its required-ness. |
ab27a55e |
521 | |
1820fffe |
522 | A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a |
523 | non-C<undef> C<init_arg> |
ab27a55e |
524 | |
612d3e1a |
525 | =item C<< lazy => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
526 | |
1820fffe |
527 | A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an |
528 | attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the |
529 | attribute is read. |
93f08899 |
530 | |
612d3e1a |
531 | =item C<< weak_ref => Bool >> |
0fff36e6 |
532 | |
1820fffe |
533 | If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak |
534 | reference. |
c3398f5b |
535 | |
612d3e1a |
536 | =item C<< auto_deref => Bool >> |
fb706f5c |
537 | |
1820fffe |
538 | If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is |
539 | called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the |
540 | attribute as an array or hash reference. |
541 | |
612d3e1a |
542 | =item C<< lazy_build => Bool >> |
1820fffe |
543 | |
544 | Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of |
545 | default methods. |

547 | has 'size' => ( |
548 | is => 'ro', |
549 | lazy_build => 1, |
550 | ); |
93d190e0 |
551 | |
1820fffe |
552 | is equivalent to this: |
93d190e0 |
553 | |
1820fffe |
554 | has 'size' => ( |
555 | is => 'ro', |
556 | lazy => 1, |
557 | builder => '_build_size', |
558 | clearer => 'clear_size', |

564 | =head2 C<< associate_method(Method) >> |
565 | |
566 | Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally |
567 | when an attribute generates its accessors. |
568 | |
569 | Currently the argument I<Method> is ignored in Mouse. |
570 | |
1820fffe |
571 | =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >> |
572 | |
573 | Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true> |
574 | on success, otherwise C<confess>es. |

577 | |
612d3e1a |
578 | Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes. |

579 | Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done. |

584 | \r |
585 | Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or\r |
586 | writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods\r |
587 | always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the\r |
588 | attribute is read- or write-only. |
