               has 'first_name' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1, writer => 'set_first_name');

               has 'middle_name' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', predicate => 'has_middle_name', writer => 'set_middle_name');

               has 'last_name' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1, writer => 'set_last_name');

                       $name .= $self->last_name;

DESCRIPTION

       MongoDBx::Class::EmbeddedDocument is a Moose role meant to be consumed by document classes
       representing embedded documents. These are documents that are entirely contained within
       parent MongoDB documents.

       The role provides expanded embedded documents with some common attributes and useful
       methods.

ATTRIBUTES

   _collection
       The MongoDBx::Class::Collection object representing the MongoDB collection in which this
       embedded document is stored (more correctly, the collection in which the
       MongoDBx::Class::Document holding this embedded document is stored). This is a required
       attribute.

   _class
       A string. The name of the document class of this embedded document.  A required attribute.

METHODS

       The following methods are provided:

   as_hashref()
       Returns the embedded document as a hash reference, without the _collection and _class
       attributes (if they exist).

INTERNAL METHODS

   _database()
       Convenience shortcut for running "$embd_doc->_collection->_database".

   _attributes()
       Returns a list of names of all attributes the embedded document object has, minus
       '_collection' and '_class', sorted alphabetically.
