NAME

       MooseX::App::Meta::Role::Attribute::Option - Meta attribute role for options

DESCRIPTION

       This meta attribute role will automatically be applied to all attributes that should be
       used as options.

ACCESSORS

       In your app and command classes you can use the following attributes in option or
       parameter definitions.

        option 'myoption' => (
            is                 => 'rw',
            isa                => 'ArrayRef[Str]',
            documentation      => 'My special option',
            cmd_flag           => 'myopt',
            cmd_aliases        => [qw(mopt localopt)],
            cmd_tags           => [qw(Important!)],
            cmd_env            => 'MY_OPTION',
            cmd_position       => 1,
            cmd_split          => qr/,/,
            cmd_negate         => 'notoption'
        );

   cmd_flag
       Use this name instead of the attribute name as the option name

   cmd_type
       Option to mark if this attribute should be used as an option or parameter value.

       Allowed values are:

       •   option - Command line option

       •   proto - Command line option that should be processed prior to other options (eg. a
           config-file option that sets other attribues) Usually only used for plugin developmemt

       •   parameter - Positional parameter command line value

   cmd_env
       Environment variable name (only uppercase letters, numeric and underscores allowed). If
       variable was not specified otherwise the value will be taken from %ENV.

   cmd_aliases
       Arrayref of alternative option names

   cmd_tags
       Extra option tags displayed in the usage information (in brackets)

   cmd_position
       Override the order of the parameters in the usage message.

   cmd_split
       Splits multiple values at the given separator string or regular expression.  Only works in
       conjunction with an 'ArrayRef[*]' type constraint.  ie. '--myattr value1,value2' with
       cmd_split set to ',' would produce an arrayref with to elements.

   cmd_count
       Similar to the Getopt::Long '+' modifier, cmd_count turns the attribute into a counter.
       Every occurrence of the attribute in @ARGV (without any value) would increment the
       resulting value by one

   cmd_negate
       Sets names for the negated variant of a boolean field. Only works in conjunction with a
       'Bool' type constraint.

METHODS

       These methods are only of interest to plugin authors.

   cmd_check
       Runs sanity checks on options and parameters. Will usually only be executed if either
       HARNESS_ACTIVE or APP_DEVELOPER environment are set.

   cmd_name_possible
        my @names = $attribute->cmd_name_possible();

       Returns a list of all possible option names.

   cmd_name_list
        my @names = $attribute->cmd_name_list();

       Similar to cmd_name_possible this method returns a list of option names, except for names
       set via cmd_negate.

   cmd_name_primary
        my $name = $attribute->cmd_name_primary();

       Returns the primary option name

   cmd_usage_name
        my $name = $attribute->cmd_usage_name();

       Returns the name as used by the usage text

   cmd_usage_description
        my $name = $attribute->cmd_usage_description();

       Returns the description as used by the usage text

   cmd_tags_list
        my @tags = $attribute->cmd_tags_list();

       Returns a list of tags

   cmd_type_constraint_check
        $attribute->cmd_type_constraint_check($value)

       Checks the type constraint. Returns an error message if the check fails

   cmd_type_constraint_description
        $attribute->cmd_type_constraint_description($type_constraint,$singular)

       Creates a description of the selected type constraint.
