MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameterizable - metaclass for parameterizable roles

DESCRIPTION

Top

This is the metaclass for parameterizable roles, roles that have their parameters currently unbound. These are the roles that you use with in Moose, but instead of composing the parameterizable role, we construct a new parameterized role (MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameterized).

ATTRIBUTES

Top

parameters_class

The name of the class that will be used to construct the parameters object.

parameters_metaclass

A metaclass representing this roles's parameters. It will be an anonymous subclass of parameters_class. Each call to parameter in MooseX::Role::Parameters adds an attribute to this metaclass.

When this role is consumed, the parameters object will be instantiated using this metaclass.

role_generator

A code reference that is used to generate a role based on the parameters provided by the consumer. The user usually specifies it using the role in MooseX::Role::Parameterized keyword.

METHODS

Top

add_parameter $name, %options

Basically delegates to add_attribute in Moose::Meta::Class on the parameters_metaclass but with error messages that refer to a "parameter" not an "attribute".

construct_parameters %arguments

Creates a new MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Parameters object using metaclass parameters_metaclass.

The arguments are those specified by the consumer as parameter values.

generate_role %arguments

Returns a new instance of MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Meta::Role::Parameterized based on the arguments. The arguments are a hash reference of parameters and, if available, a consumer metaobject. A package argument may be given to use a specific package name instead of autogenerating one.

apply

Overrides apply in Moose::Meta::Role to automatically generate the parameterized role.
