367 Mouse::Meta::Attribute - attribute metaclass
371 =head2 C<< new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
373 Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
375 It adds the following options to the constructor:
379 =item * C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >>
381 This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
382 C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
383 have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
385 If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
386 with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
387 read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
388 name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
390 Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
391 (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
392 Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a
395 =item * C<< isa => Type >>
397 This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
398 a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
401 This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
403 If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
404 be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
407 =item * C<< does => Role >>
409 This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
410 object which does the named role.
412 B<This option is not yet supported.>
414 =item * C<< coerce => Bool >>
416 This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
417 (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
418 this attribute is set.
420 You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.
422 =item * C<< trigger => CodeRef >>
424 This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
425 the attribute is set.
427 =item * C<< required => Bool >>
429 An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
430 attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
431 which will satisfy its required-ness.
433 A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
434 non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
436 =item * C<< lazy => Bool >>
438 A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
439 attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the
442 =item * C<< weak_ref => Bool >>
444 If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
447 =item * C<< auto_deref => Bool >>
449 If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is
450 called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the
451 attribute as an array or hash reference.
453 =item * C<< lazy_build => Bool >>
455 Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of
463 is equivalent to this:
468 builder => '_build_size',
469 clearer => 'clear_size',
470 predicate => 'has_size',
475 =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >>
477 Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true>
478 on success, otherwise C<confess>es.
480 =head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
482 Creates a new attribute in OwnerClass, inheriting options from parent classes.
483 Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done.
