343 Mouse::Meta::Attribute - The Mouse attribute metaclass
347 This document describes Mouse version 0.70
351 This is a meta object protocol for Mouse attributes,
352 which is a subset of Moose::Meta::Attribute.
356 =head2 C<< new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
358 Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
360 It adds the following options to the constructor:
364 =item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >>
366 This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
367 C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
368 have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
370 If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
371 with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
372 read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
373 name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
375 Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
376 (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
377 Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a
380 =item C<< isa => Type >>
382 This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
383 a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
386 This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
388 If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
389 be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
392 =item C<< does => Role >>
394 This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
395 object which does the named role.
397 B<This option is not yet supported.>
399 =item C<< coerce => Bool >>
401 This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
402 (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
403 this attribute is set.
405 You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.
407 =item C<< trigger => CodeRef >>
409 This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
410 the attribute is set.
412 =item C<< required => Bool >>
414 An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
415 attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
416 which will satisfy its required-ness.
418 A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
419 non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
421 =item C<< lazy => Bool >>
423 A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
424 attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the
427 =item C<< weak_ref => Bool >>
429 If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
432 =item C<< auto_deref => Bool >>
434 If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is
435 called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the
436 attribute as an array or hash reference.
438 =item C<< lazy_build => Bool >>
440 Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of
448 is equivalent to this:
453 builder => '_build_size',
454 clearer => 'clear_size',
455 predicate => 'has_size',
460 =head2 C<< associate_method(MethodName) >>
462 Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally
463 when an attribute generates its accessors.
465 Currently the argument I<MethodName> is ignored in Mouse.
467 =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >>
469 Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true>
470 on success, otherwise C<confess>es.
472 =head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
474 Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes.
475 Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done.
477 =head2 C<< get_read_method_ref >>
479 =head2 C<< get_write_method_ref >>
481 Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or
482 writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods
483 always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the
484 attribute is read- or write-only.
