76 While L<Moose> attributes provide a way to name your accessors, readers,
77 writers, clearers and predicates, this set of traits provides commonly
78 used attribute helper methods for more specific types of data.
80 As seen in the L</SYNOPSIS>, you specify the data structure via the
81 C<trait> parameter. Available traits are below; see L</METHOD PROVIDERS>.
83 This module used to exist as the L<MooseX::AttributeHelpers> extension. It was
84 very commonly used, so we moved it into core Moose. Since this gave us a chance
85 to change the interface, you will have to change your code or continue using
86 the L<MooseX::AttributeHelpers> extension. L<MooseX::AttributeHelpers> should
93 This is like C<< handles >> in L<Moose/has>, but only HASH references are
94 allowed. Keys are method names that you want installed locally, and values are
95 methods from the method providers (below). Currying with delegated methods
96 works normally for C<< handles >>.
