398 Mouse::Meta::Attribute - The Mouse attribute metaclass
402 This document describes Mouse version 0.50_08
406 =head2 C<< new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
408 Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
410 It adds the following options to the constructor:
414 =item C<< is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare' >>
416 This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
417 C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
418 have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
420 If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
421 with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
422 read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
423 name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
425 Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
426 (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
427 Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added to a
430 =item C<< isa => Type >>
432 This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
433 a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
436 This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
438 If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
439 be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
442 =item C<< does => Role >>
444 This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
445 object which does the named role.
447 B<This option is not yet supported.>
449 =item C<< coerce => Bool >>
451 This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
452 (C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
453 this attribute is set.
455 You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.
457 =item C<< trigger => CodeRef >>
459 This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
460 the attribute is set.
462 =item C<< required => Bool >>
464 An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
465 attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
466 which will satisfy its required-ness.
468 A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
469 non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
471 =item C<< lazy => Bool >>
473 A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
474 attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the
477 =item C<< weak_ref => Bool >>
479 If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
482 =item C<< auto_deref => Bool >>
484 If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is
485 called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines the
486 attribute as an array or hash reference.
488 =item C<< lazy_build => Bool >>
490 Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of
498 is equivalent to this:
503 builder => '_build_size',
504 clearer => 'clear_size',
505 predicate => 'has_size',
510 =head2 C<< associate_method(MethodName) >>
512 Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called internally
513 when an attribute generates its accessors.
515 Currently the argument I<MethodName> is ignored in Mouse.
517 =head2 C<< verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR >>
519 Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint. Returns C<true>
520 on success, otherwise C<confess>es.
522 =head2 C<< clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute >>
524 Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from parent classes.
525 Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error checking is done.
527 =head2 C<< get_read_method_ref >>
529 =head2 C<< get_write_method_ref >>
531 Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or
532 writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods
533 always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the
534 attribute is read- or write-only.
