NAME

       Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute - The Moose attribute metaclass for Roles

VERSION

       version 2.2009

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements the API for attributes in roles. Attributes in roles are more like
       attribute prototypes than full blown attributes. While they are introspectable, they have
       very little behavior.

METHODS

   Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute->new(...)
       This method accepts all the options that would be passed to the constructor for
       Moose::Meta::Attribute.

   $attr->metaclass
   $attr->is
       Returns the option as passed to the constructor.

   $attr->associated_role
       Returns the Moose::Meta::Role to which this attribute belongs, if any.

   $attr->original_role
       Returns the Moose::Meta::Role in which this attribute was first defined. This may not be
       the same as the value of "associated_role()" for attributes in a composite role, or when
       one role consumes other roles.

   $attr->original_options
       Returns a hash reference of options passed to the constructor. This is used when creating
       a Moose::Meta::Attribute object from this object.

   $attr->attach_to_role($role)
       Attaches the attribute to the given Moose::Meta::Role.

   $attr->attribute_for_class($metaclass)
       Given an attribute metaclass name, this method calls
       "$metaclass->interpolate_class_and_new" to construct an attribute object which can be
       added to a Moose::Meta::Class.

   $attr->clone
       Creates a new object identical to the object on which the method is called.

   $attr->is_same_as($other_attr)
       Compares two role attributes and returns true if they are identical.

       In addition, this class implements all informational predicates implements by
       Moose::Meta::Attribute (and Class::MOP::Attribute).
