c3398f5b 457=head1 METHODS
458
1820fffe 459=head2 C<< new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
c3398f5b 460
306290e8 461Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
c3398f5b 462
1820fffe 463It adds the following options to the constructor:
c3398f5b 464
1820fffe 465=over 4
c3398f5b 466
612d3e1a 467=item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >>
c3398f5b 468
1820fffe 469This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
470C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
471have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
c3398f5b 472
1820fffe 473If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
474with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
475read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
476name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
c3398f5b 477
1820fffe 478Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
479(accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
480Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a
481metaclass.

612d3e1a 483=item C<< isa => Type >>
ab27a55e 484
1820fffe 485This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
486a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
487name.
ab27a55e 488
1820fffe 489This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
ab27a55e 490
1820fffe 491If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
492be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
493C<does>.
ab27a55e 494
612d3e1a 495=item C<< does => Role >>
ab27a55e 496
1820fffe 497This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
498object which does the named role.

1820fffe 500B<This option is not yet supported.>
c3398f5b 501
612d3e1a 502=item C<< coerce => Bool >>
ab27a55e 503
1820fffe 504This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
505(C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
506this attribute is set.
c3398f5b 507
1820fffe 508You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.
c3398f5b 509
612d3e1a 510=item C<< trigger => CodeRef >>
ab27a55e 511
1820fffe 512This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
513the attribute is set.
ab27a55e 514
612d3e1a 515=item C<< required => Bool >>
ab27a55e 516
1820fffe 517An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
518attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
519which will satisfy its required-ness.
ab27a55e 520
1820fffe 521A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
522non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
ab27a55e 523
612d3e1a 524=item C<< lazy => Bool >>
ab27a55e 525
1820fffe 526A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
527attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the
528attribute is read.
93f08899 529
612d3e1a 530=item C<< weak_ref => Bool >>
0fff36e6 531
1820fffe 532If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
533reference.
c3398f5b 534
612d3e1a 535=item C<< auto_deref => Bool >>
fb706f5c 536
1820fffe 537If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is
538called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the
539attribute as an array or hash reference.
540
612d3e1a 541=item C<< lazy_build => Bool >>
1820fffe 542
543Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of
544default methods.
fb706f5c 545
1820fffe 546 has 'size' => (
547 is => 'ro',
548 lazy_build => 1,
549 );
93d190e0 550
1820fffe 551is equivalent to this:
93d190e0 552
1820fffe 553 has 'size' => (
554 is => 'ro',
555 lazy => 1,
556 builder => '_build_size',
557 clearer => 'clear_size',
558 predicate => 'has_size',
559 );

562
e5e22afd 563=head2 C<< associate_method(MethodName) >>
31c5194b 564
565Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally
566when an attribute generates its accessors.
567
e5e22afd 568Currently the argument I<MethodName> is ignored in Mouse.
31c5194b 569
1820fffe 570=head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >>
571
572Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true>
573on success, otherwise C<confess>es.
93d190e0 574
1820fffe 575=head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
f7b11a21 576
612d3e1a 577Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes.
f7b11a21 578Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done.
579
9ae9702e 580=head2 C<< get_read_method_ref >>
581
582=head2 C<< get_write_method_ref >>
583
584Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or
585writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods
586always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the
df77fd72 587attribute is read- or write-only.
