# Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute - phpMan

## NAME
    [Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute] - The Moose attribute metaclass for Roles

## VERSION
    version 2.2200

## 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
  [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 of "associated_role()" for
    attributes in a composite role, or when 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]).
