54a288bd 77=head1 DESCRIPTION
78
79This module allows you to declare class attributes in exactly the same
169f4cc7 80way as object attributes, using C<class_has()> instead of C<has()>.
54a288bd 81
82You can use any feature of Moose's attribute declarations, including
0388e669 83overriding a parent's attributes, delegation (C<handles>), attribute traits,
84etc. All features should just work. The one exception is the "required" flag,
85which is not allowed for class attributes.
54a288bd 86
169f4cc7 87The accessor methods for class attribute may be called on the class
7dc1418a 88directly, or on objects of that class. Passing a class attribute to
0388e669 89the constructor will not set that attribute.
7dc1418a 90
54a288bd 91=head1 FUNCTIONS
92
93This class exports one function when you use it, C<class_has()>. This
94works exactly like Moose's C<has()>, but it declares class attributes.
95
6c69490f 96One little nit is that if you include C<no Moose> in your class, you won't
97remove the C<class_has()> function. To do that you must include C<no
98MooseX::ClassAttribute> as well. Or you can just use L<namespace::autoclean>
99instead.

101=head2 Implementation and Immutability
102
169f4cc7 103This module will add a role to your class's metaclass, See
63fcc508 104L<MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Class> for details. This role
169f4cc7 105provides introspection methods for class attributes.
106
107Class attributes themselves do the
63fcc508 108L<MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Attribute> role.

169f4cc7 110=head2 Cooperation with Metaclasses and Traits
4dee0fd3 111
169f4cc7 112This module should work with most attribute metaclasses and traits,
113but it's possible that conflicts could occur. This module has been
0388e669 114tested to work with Moose's native traits.
115
116=head2 Class Attributes in Roles
117
118You can add a class attribute to a role. When that role is applied to a class,
119the class will have the relevant class attributes added. Note that attribute
120defaults will be calculated when the class attribute is composed into the
121class.

124
125If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module,
126please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of
127free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support
128you'd care to offer.
129
130Please note that B<I am not suggesting that you must do this> in order
131for me to continue working on this particular software. I will
132continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it
133interests me.
134
135Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work
136on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can
137consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at
138best.

147C<bug-moosex-classattribute@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface
148at L<http://rt.cpan.org>. I will be notified, and then you'll
149automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
