NAME

       MouseX::NativeTraits::Str - Helper trait for Str attributes

SYNOPSIS

         package MyHomePage;
         use Mouse;

         has 'text' => (
             traits    => ['String'],
             is        => 'rw',
             isa       => 'Str',
             default   => q{},
             handles   => {
                 add_text     => 'append',
                 replace_text => 'replace',
             },
         );

         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.

PROVIDED METHODS

       These methods are implemented in MouseX::NativeTraits::MethodProvider::Str. 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 analogous 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).  A code references will be accepted
           for the replacement, causing the regexp to be modified with a single "e". "/smxi" can
           be applied using the "qr" operator.

       replace($pattern, $replacement)
           Performs a regexp substitution ("s" in perlop) with the "g" flag.  A code references
           will be accepted for the replacement, causing the regexp 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").

       length
           "length" in perlfunc

       substr
           "substr" in perlfunc. We go to some lengths to match the different functionality based
           on "substr"'s arity.
