469 | Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else. |
c3398f5b |
470 | |
1820fffe |
471 | It adds the following options to the constructor: |
c3398f5b |
472 | |
1820fffe |
473 | =over 4 |
c3398f5b |
474 | |
612d3e1a |
475 | =item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >> |
c3398f5b |
476 | |
1820fffe |
477 | This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or |
478 | C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will |
479 | have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name. |
c3398f5b |
480 | |
1820fffe |
481 | If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method |
482 | with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a |
483 | read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same |
484 | name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided. |
c3398f5b |
485 | |
1820fffe |
486 | Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods |
487 | (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise, |
488 | Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a |
489 | metaclass. |
c3398f5b |
490 | |
612d3e1a |
491 | =item C<< isa => Type >> |
ab27a55e |
492 | |
1820fffe |
493 | This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be |
494 | a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class |
495 | name. |
ab27a55e |
496 | |
1820fffe |
497 | This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object. |
ab27a55e |
498 | |
1820fffe |
499 | If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must |
500 | be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with |
501 | C<does>. |
ab27a55e |
502 | |
612d3e1a |
503 | =item C<< does => Role >> |
ab27a55e |
504 | |
1820fffe |
505 | This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an |
506 | object which does the named role. |
c3398f5b |
507 | |
1820fffe |
508 | B<This option is not yet supported.> |
c3398f5b |
509 | |
612d3e1a |
510 | =item C<< coerce => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
511 | |
1820fffe |
512 | This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint |
513 | (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever |
514 | this attribute is set. |
c3398f5b |
515 | |
1820fffe |
516 | You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true. |
c3398f5b |
517 | |
612d3e1a |
518 | =item C<< trigger => CodeRef >> |
ab27a55e |
519 | |
1820fffe |
520 | This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after |
521 | the attribute is set. |
ab27a55e |
522 | |
612d3e1a |
523 | =item C<< required => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
524 | |
1820fffe |
525 | An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An |
526 | attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>, |
527 | which will satisfy its required-ness. |
ab27a55e |
528 | |
1820fffe |
529 | A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a |
530 | non-C<undef> C<init_arg> |
ab27a55e |
531 | |
612d3e1a |
532 | =item C<< lazy => Bool >> |
ab27a55e |
533 | |
1820fffe |
534 | A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an |
535 | attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the |
536 | attribute is read. |
93f08899 |
537 | |
612d3e1a |
538 | =item C<< weak_ref => Bool >> |
0fff36e6 |
539 | |
1820fffe |
540 | If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak |
541 | reference. |
c3398f5b |
542 | |
612d3e1a |
543 | =item C<< auto_deref => Bool >> |
fb706f5c |
544 | |
1820fffe |
545 | If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is |
546 | called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the |
547 | attribute as an array or hash reference. |
548 | |
612d3e1a |
549 | =item C<< lazy_build => Bool >> |
1820fffe |
550 | |
551 | Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of |
552 | default methods. |

554 | has 'size' => ( |
555 | is => 'ro', |
556 | lazy_build => 1, |
557 | ); |
93d190e0 |
558 | |
1820fffe |
559 | is equivalent to this: |
93d190e0 |
560 | |
1820fffe |
561 | has 'size' => ( |
562 | is => 'ro', |
563 | lazy => 1, |
564 | builder => '_build_size', |
565 | clearer => 'clear_size', |

570 | |

571 | =head2 C<< associate_method(Method) >> |
572 | |
573 | Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally |
574 | when an attribute generates its accessors. |
575 | |
576 | Currently the argument I<Method> is ignored in Mouse. |
577 | |
1820fffe |
578 | =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >> |
579 | |
580 | Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true> |
581 | on success, otherwise C<confess>es. |

583 | =head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >> |

584 | |
612d3e1a |
585 | Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes. |
f7b11a21 |
586 | Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done. |

588 | =head2 C<< get_read_method_ref >> |
589 | |
590 | =head2 C<< get_write_method_ref >> |
591 | |
592 | Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or |
593 | writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods |
594 | always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the |
df77fd72 |
595 | attribute is read- or write-only. |
