NAME

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

VERSION

       version 2.0603

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 "associated_role()" in
	   the case of composite role, or the case where 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).
