Class::Meta::Types::Numeric - Numeric data types

  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',

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.
