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
