463 Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass
467 This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific
470 For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an
471 instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep
472 introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer
473 to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation.
477 =head2 Overridden methods
479 These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add
480 Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they
481 will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does.
487 =item B<initialize_instance_slot>
489 =item B<install_accessors>
491 =item B<accessor_metaclass>
499 =head2 Additional Moose features
501 Moose attributes support type-constraint checking, weak reference
502 creation and type coercion.
506 =item B<clone_and_inherit_options>
508 This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute
509 from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made
512 =item B<has_type_constraint>
514 Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint.
516 =item B<type_constraint>
518 A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For
519 more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation
520 for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
524 Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation.
528 This returns the value which was passed into the handles option.
532 Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference.
536 Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value.
540 Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily.
542 NOTE: lazy attributes, B<must> have a C<default> field set.
544 =item B<should_coerce>
546 Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform type coercion.
548 =item B<should_auto_deref>
550 Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform automatic
553 NOTE: This can only be done for attributes whose type constraint is
554 either I<ArrayRef> or I<HashRef>.
558 Returns true if this meta-attribute has a trigger set.
562 This is a CODE reference which will be executed every time the
563 value of an attribute is assigned. The CODE ref will get two values,
564 the invocant and the new value. This can be used to handle I<basic>
565 bi-directional relations.
567 =item B<documentation>
569 This is a string which contains the documentation for this attribute.
570 It serves no direct purpose right now, but it might in the future
571 in some kind of automated documentation system perhaps.
573 =item B<has_documentation>
575 Returns true if this meta-attribute has any documentation.
