474 | =head1 NAME |
475 | |
6ba6d68c |
476 | Moose::Meta::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass |
c0e30cf5 |
477 | |
478 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
479 | |
e522431d |
480 | This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific |
6ba6d68c |
481 | extensions. |
482 | |
483 | For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an |
484 | instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep |
485 | introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer |
486 | to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation. |

488 | =head1 METHODS |
489 | |
6ba6d68c |
490 | =head2 Overridden methods |
491 | |
492 | These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add |
493 | Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they |
494 | will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does. |

514 | =head2 Additional Moose features |
515 | |
516 | Moose attributes support type-contstraint checking, weak reference |
517 | creation and type coercion. |

521 | =item B<has_type_constraint> |
522 | |
6ba6d68c |
523 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint. |
524 | |
a15dff8d |
525 | =item B<type_constraint> |
526 | |
6ba6d68c |
527 | A read-only accessor for this meta-attribute's type constraint. For |
528 | more information on what you can do with this, see the documentation |
529 | for L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>. |

531 | =item B<has_handles> |
532 | |
533 | Returns true if this meta-attribute performs delegation. |
534 | |
535 | =item B<handles> |
536 | |
537 | This returns the value which was passed into the handles option. |
538 | |
6ba6d68c |
539 | =item B<is_weak_ref> |
a15dff8d |
540 | |

541 | Returns true if this meta-attribute produces a weak reference. |

ca01a97b |
543 | =item B<is_required> |
544 | |
02a0fb52 |
545 | Returns true if this meta-attribute is required to have a value. |
ca01a97b |
546 | |
547 | =item B<is_lazy> |
548 | |
02a0fb52 |
549 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should be initialized lazily. |
ca01a97b |
550 | |
551 | NOTE: lazy attributes, B<must> have a C<default> field set. |
552 | |
34a66aa3 |
553 | =item B<should_coerce> |
4b598ea3 |
554 | |
02a0fb52 |
555 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform type coercion. |
6ba6d68c |
556 | |
536f0b17 |
557 | =item B<should_auto_deref> |
558 | |
559 | Returns true if this meta-attribute should perform automatic |
560 | auto-dereferencing. |
561 | |
562 | NOTE: This can only be done for attributes whose type constraint is |
563 | either I<ArrayRef> or I<HashRef>. |
564 | |
8c9d74e7 |
565 | =item B<has_trigger> |
566 | |
02a0fb52 |
567 | Returns true if this meta-attribute has a trigger set. |
568 | |
8c9d74e7 |
569 | =item B<trigger> |
570 | |
02a0fb52 |
571 | This is a CODE reference which will be executed every time the |
572 | value of an attribute is assigned. The CODE ref will get two values, |
573 | the invocant and the new value. This can be used to handle I<basic> |
574 | bi-directional relations. |
