NAME

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

VERSION

       version 2.1005

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

       This class provides the following 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).
