466 | Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else. |
c3398f5b |
467 | |
1820fffe |
468 | It adds the following options to the constructor: |
c3398f5b |
469 | |
1820fffe |
470 | =over 4 |
c3398f5b |
471 | |
612d3e1a |
472 | =item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >> |
c3398f5b |
473 | |
1820fffe |
474 | This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or |
475 | C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will |
476 | have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name. |
c3398f5b |
477 | |
1820fffe |
478 | If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method |
479 | with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a |
480 | read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same |
481 | name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided. |
c3398f5b |
482 | |
1820fffe |
483 | Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods |
484 | (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise, |
485 | Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a |
486 | metaclass. |
c3398f5b |
487 | |
612d3e1a |
488 | =item C<< isa => Type >> |
ab27a55e |
489 | |
1820fffe |
490 | This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be |
491 | a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class |
492 | name. |
ab27a55e |
493 | |
1820fffe |
494 | This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object. |
ab27a55e |
495 | |
1820fffe |
496 | If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must |
497 | be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with |
498 | C<does>. |
ab27a55e |
499 | |
612d3e1a |
500 | =item C<< does => Role >> |
ab27a55e |
501 | |
1820fffe |
502 | This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an |
503 | object which does the named role. |
c3398f5b |
504 | |
1820fffe |
505 | B<This option is not yet supported.> |
c3398f5b |
506 | |
612d3e1a |
507 | =item C<< coerce => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
508 | |
1820fffe |
509 | This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint |
510 | (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever |
511 | this attribute is set. |
c3398f5b |
512 | |
1820fffe |
513 | You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true. |
c3398f5b |
514 | |
612d3e1a |
515 | =item C<< trigger => CodeRef >> |
ab27a55e |
516 | |
1820fffe |
517 | This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after |
518 | the attribute is set. |
ab27a55e |
519 | |
612d3e1a |
520 | =item C<< required => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
521 | |
1820fffe |
522 | An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An |
523 | attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>, |
524 | which will satisfy its required-ness. |
ab27a55e |
525 | |
1820fffe |
526 | A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a |
527 | non-C<undef> C<init_arg> |
ab27a55e |
528 | |
612d3e1a |
529 | =item C<< lazy => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
530 | |
1820fffe |
531 | A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an |
532 | attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the |
533 | attribute is read. |
93f08899 |
534 | |
612d3e1a |
535 | =item C<< weak_ref => Bool >> |
0fff36e6 |
536 | |
1820fffe |
537 | If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak |
538 | reference. |
c3398f5b |
539 | |
612d3e1a |
540 | =item C<< auto_deref => Bool >> |
fb706f5c |
541 | |
1820fffe |
542 | If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is |
543 | called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the |
544 | attribute as an array or hash reference. |
545 | |
612d3e1a |
546 | =item C<< lazy_build => Bool >> |
1820fffe |
547 | |
548 | Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of |
549 | default methods. |

551 | has 'size' => ( |
552 | is => 'ro', |

93d190e0 |
555 | |
1820fffe |
556 | is equivalent to this: |
93d190e0 |
557 | |
1820fffe |
558 | has 'size' => ( |
559 | is => 'ro', |
560 | lazy => 1, |
561 | builder => '_build_size', |

568 | =head2 C<< associate_method(Method) >> |
569 | |
570 | Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally |
571 | when an attribute generates its accessors. |
572 | |
573 | Currently the argument I<Method> is ignored in Mouse. |
574 | |
1820fffe |
575 | =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >> |
576 | |
577 | Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true> |
578 | on success, otherwise C<confess>es. |

581 | |
612d3e1a |
582 | Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes. |

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

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