bedd575c 449Mouse::Meta::Attribute - The Mouse attribute metaclass
c3398f5b 450
a25ca8d6 451=head1 VERSION
452
a4cbb3cb 453This document describes Mouse version 0.44
a25ca8d6 454
c3398f5b 455=head1 METHODS
456
1820fffe 457=head2 C<< new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
c3398f5b 458
306290e8 459Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
c3398f5b 460
1820fffe 461It adds the following options to the constructor:
c3398f5b 462
1820fffe 463=over 4
c3398f5b 464
612d3e1a 465=item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >>
c3398f5b 466
1820fffe 467This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
468C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
469have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
c3398f5b 470
1820fffe 471If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
472with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
473read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
474name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
c3398f5b 475
1820fffe 476Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
477(accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
478Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a
479metaclass.
c3398f5b 480
612d3e1a 481=item C<< isa => Type >>
ab27a55e 482
1820fffe 483This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
484a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
485name.
ab27a55e 486
1820fffe 487This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
ab27a55e 488
1820fffe 489If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
490be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
491C<does>.
ab27a55e 492
612d3e1a 493=item C<< does => Role >>
ab27a55e 494
1820fffe 495This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
496object which does the named role.
c3398f5b 497
1820fffe 498B<This option is not yet supported.>
c3398f5b 499
612d3e1a 500=item C<< coerce => Bool >>
ab27a55e 501
1820fffe 502This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
503(C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
504this attribute is set.
c3398f5b 505
1820fffe 506You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.
c3398f5b 507
612d3e1a 508=item C<< trigger => CodeRef >>
ab27a55e 509
1820fffe 510This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
511the attribute is set.
ab27a55e 512
612d3e1a 513=item C<< required => Bool >>
ab27a55e 514
1820fffe 515An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
516attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
517which will satisfy its required-ness.
ab27a55e 518
1820fffe 519A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
520non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
ab27a55e 521
612d3e1a 522=item C<< lazy => Bool >>
ab27a55e 523
1820fffe 524A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
525attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the
526attribute is read.
93f08899 527
612d3e1a 528=item C<< weak_ref => Bool >>
0fff36e6 529
1820fffe 530If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
531reference.
c3398f5b 532
612d3e1a 533=item C<< auto_deref => Bool >>
fb706f5c 534
1820fffe 535If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is
536called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the
537attribute as an array or hash reference.
538
612d3e1a 539=item C<< lazy_build => Bool >>
1820fffe 540
541Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of
542default methods.
fb706f5c 543
1820fffe 544 has 'size' => (
545 is => 'ro',
546 lazy_build => 1,
547 );
93d190e0 548
1820fffe 549is equivalent to this:
93d190e0 550
1820fffe 551 has 'size' => (
552 is => 'ro',
553 lazy => 1,
554 builder => '_build_size',
555 clearer => 'clear_size',
556 predicate => 'has_size',
557 );

1820fffe 559=back
560
e5e22afd 561=head2 C<< associate_method(MethodName) >>
31c5194b 562
563Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally
564when an attribute generates its accessors.
565
e5e22afd 566Currently the argument I<MethodName> is ignored in Mouse.
31c5194b 567
1820fffe 568=head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >>
569
570Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true>
571on success, otherwise C<confess>es.
93d190e0 572
1820fffe 573=head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
f7b11a21 574
612d3e1a 575Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes.
f7b11a21 576Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done.
577
9ae9702e 578=head2 C<< get_read_method_ref >>
579
580=head2 C<< get_write_method_ref >>
581
582Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or
583writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods
584always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the
df77fd72 585attribute is read- or write-only.
