NAME

MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Trait - Custom class meta-trait for meta-descriptions

SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  use Moose;

  has 'baz' => (
      # apply this as a trait to your attribute
      traits      => [ 'MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Trait' ],
      is          => 'ro',
      isa         => 'Str',
      default     => sub { 'Foo::baz' },
      description => {
          bar   => 'Foo::baz::bar',
          gorch => 'Foo::baz::gorch',
      }
  );

DESCRIPTION

This is the core of the Meta Description functionality, it is a role that is done by both MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Attribute and MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Class and can be used on it's own as a meta-attribute trait.

METHODS

description

The description HASH ref is stored here.

metadescription_classname

This provides the name of the metadescription class, currently this defaults to MooseX::MetaDescription::Description. It is read only and so can only be specified at instance construction time.

metadescription

This is the instance of the class specified in metadescription_classname it is generated lazily and is also read-only. In general you will never need to set this yourself, but simply set metadescription_classname and it will all just work.

prepare_traits_for_application ($traits)

This is passed the ARRAY ref of trait names so that they can be pre-processed before they are applied to the metadescription. It is expected to return an ARRAY ref of trait names to be applied. By default it simply returns what it is given.

meta

The Moose::Role metaclass.
