62 While L<Moose> attributes provide you with a way to name your accessors,
63 readers, writers, clearers and predicates, this library provides commonly
64 used attribute helper methods for more specific types of data.
66 As seen in the L</SYNOPSIS>, you specify the extension via the
67 C<metaclass> parameter. Available meta classes are:
71 =item L<Number|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Number>
73 Common numerical operations.
75 =item L<Counter|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Counter>
77 Methods for incrementing and decrementing a counter attribute.
79 =item L<String|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::String>
81 Common string operations.
83 =item L<Collection::Hash|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Collection::Hash>
85 Common methods for hash references.
87 =item L<Collection::Array|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Collection::Array>
89 Common methods for array references.
91 =item L<Collection::List|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Collection::List>
93 Common list methods for array references.
95 =item L<Collection::Bag|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Collection::Bag>
99 =item L<Collection::ImmutableHash|MooseX::AttributeHelpers::Collection::ImmutableHash>
101 Hashes with no change methods.
107 This is an early release of this module. Right now it is in great need
108 of documentation and tests in the test suite. However, we have used this
109 module to great success at C<$work> where it has been tested very thoroughly
110 and deployed into a major production site.
112 I plan on getting better docs and tests in the next few releases, but until
113 then please refer to the few tests we do have and feel free email and/or
114 message me on irc.perl.org if you have any questions.
118 We need tests and docs badly.
122 All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
123 exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
