6 Mouse::Meta::Attribute - The Mouse attribute metaclass
7
9 This document describes Mouse version v2.5.10
10
12 This is a meta object protocol for Mouse attributes, which is a subset
13 of Moose::Meta::Attribute.
14
16 "new(%options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute"
17 Instantiates a new Mouse::Meta::Attribute. Does nothing else.
18
19 It adds the following options to the constructor:
20
21 "is => 'ro', 'rw', 'bare'"
22 This provides a shorthand for specifying the "reader", "writer", or
23 "accessor" names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
24 have a "reader" method with the same attribute as the name.
25
26 If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an "accessor" method
27 with the same name. If you provide an explicit "writer" for a read-
28 write attribute, then you will have a "reader" with the same name
29 as the attribute, and a "writer" with the name you provided.
30
31 Use 'bare' when you are deliberately not installing any methods
32 (accessor, reader, etc.) associated with this attribute; otherwise,
33 Moose will issue a deprecation warning when this attribute is added
34 to a metaclass.
35
36 "isa => Type"
37 This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should
38 be a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a
39 class name.
40
41 This option can also accept a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object.
42
43 If you also provide a "does" option, then your "isa" option must be
44 a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
45 "does".
46
47 "does => Role"
48 This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
49 object which does the named role.
50
51 This option is not yet supported.
52
53 "coerce => Bool"
54 This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
55 ("isa"). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
56 this attribute is set.
57
58 You can make both this and the "weak_ref" option true.
59
60 "trigger => CodeRef"
61 This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called
62 after the attribute is set.
63
64 "required => Bool"
65 An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor.
66 An attribute which is required can also have a "default" or
67 "builder", which will satisfy its required-ness.
68
69 A required attribute must have a "default", "builder" or a
70 non-"undef" "init_arg"
71
72 "lazy => Bool"
73 A lazy attribute must have a "default" or "builder". When an
74 attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until
75 the attribute is read.
76
77 "weak_ref => Bool"
78 If this is true, the attribute's value will be stored as a weak
79 reference.
80
81 "auto_deref => Bool"
82 If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it
83 is called. The attribute must have a type constraint which defines
84 the attribute as an array or hash reference.
85
86 "lazy_build => Bool"
87 Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number
88 of default methods.
89
90 has 'size' => (
91 is => 'ro',
92 lazy_build => 1,
93 );
94
95 is equivalent to this:
96
97 has 'size' => (
98 is => 'ro',
99 lazy => 1,
100 builder => '_build_size',
101 clearer => 'clear_size',
102 predicate => 'has_size',
103 );
104
105 associate_method(MethodName)
106 Associates a method with the attribute. Typically, this is called
107 internally when an attribute generates its accessors.
108
109 Currently the argument MethodName is ignored in Mouse.
110
111 "verify_against_type_constraint(Item) -> TRUE | ERROR"
112 Checks that the given value passes this attribute's type constraint.
113 Returns "true" on success, otherwise "confess"es.
114
115 "clone_and_inherit_options(options) -> Mouse::Meta::Attribute"
116 Creates a new attribute in the owner class, inheriting options from
117 parent classes. Accessors and helper methods are installed. Some error
118 checking is done.
119
120 "get_read_method_ref"
121 "get_write_method_ref"
122 Returns the subroutine reference of a method suitable for reading or
123 writing the attribute's value in the associated class. These methods
124 always return a subroutine reference, regardless of whether or not the
125 attribute is read- or write-only.
