NAME

       MooseX::AttributeHelpers::String - simple string attribute

SYNOPSIS

         package MyHomePage;
         use Moose;
         use MooseX::AttributeHelpers;

         has 'text' => (
             metaclass => 'String',
             is        => 'rw',
             isa       => 'Str',
             default   => sub { '' },
             provides  => {
                 append => "add_text",
                 replace => "replace_text",
             }
         );

         my $page = MyHomePage->new();
         $page->add_text("foo"); # same as $page->text($page->text . "foo");

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a simple string attribute, to which mutating string operations can be
       applied more easily (no need to make an lvalue attribute metaclass or use temporary
       variables). Additional methods are provided for completion.

       If your attribute definition does not include any of is, isa, default or provides but does
       use the "String" metaclass, then this module applies defaults as in the "SYNOPSIS" above.
       This allows for a very basic counter definition:

         has 'foo' => (metaclass => 'String');
         $obj->append_foo;

METHODS

       meta
       method_provider
       has_method_provider
       helper_type
       process_options_for_provides
           Run before its superclass method.

       check_provides_values
           Run after its superclass method.

PROVIDED METHODS

       It is important to note that all those methods do in place modification of the value
       stored in the attribute.

       inc Increments the value stored in this slot using the magical string autoincrement
           operator. Note that Perl doesn't provide analogeous behavior in "--", so "dec" is not
           available.

       append $string
           Append a string, like ".=".

       prepend $string
           Prepend a string.

       replace $pattern $replacement
           Performs a regexp substitution ("s" in perlop). There is no way to provide the "g"
           flag, but code references will be accepted for the replacement, causing the regex to
           be modified with a single "e". "/smxi" can be applied using the "qr" operator.

       match $pattern
           Like replace but without the replacement. Provided mostly for completeness.

       "chop"
           "chop" in perlfunc

       "chomp"
           "chomp" in perlfunc

       "clear"
           Sets the string to the empty string (not the value passed to "default").

BUGS
