NAME

       Class::Meta::Types::Numeric - Numeric data types

SYNOPSIS

         package MyApp::Thingy;
         use strict;
         use Class::Meta;
         use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric;
         # OR...
         # use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric 'affordance';
         # OR...
         # use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric 'semi-affordance';

         BEGIN {
             # Create a Class::Meta object for this class.
             my $cm = Class::Meta->new( key => 'thingy' );

             # Add an integer attribute.
             $cm->add_attribute( name => 'age',
                                 type => 'integer' );
             $cm->build;
         }

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides numeric data types for use with Class::Meta attributes.  Simply load
       it, then pass the name of one of its types to the "add_attribute()" method of a
       Class::Meta object to create attributes of the numeric data type. See Class::Meta::Type
       for more information on using and creating data types.

       The validation checks for Class::Meta::Types::Numeric are provided by the Data::Types
       module. Consult its documentation to find out what it considers to be a number and what's
       not.

       The data types created by Class::Meta::Types::Numeric are:

       whole
           A whole number. That is, a positive integer.

       integer
       int An integer number.

       decimal
       dec A decimal number.

       real
           A real number.

       float
           A floating point number.
