# NOTE:
# since roles are lazy, we hold all the attributes
# of the individual role in 'statis' until which
# time when it is applied to a class. This means
# keeping a lot of things in hash maps, so we are
# using a little of that meta-programmin' magic
# here an saving lots of extra typin. And since
# many of these attributes above require similar
# functionality to support them, so we again use
# the wonders of meta-programmin' to deliver a
# very compact solution to this normally verbose
# problem.

=head1 NAME

Moose::Meta::Role - The Moose Role metaclass

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Module> that provides
additional Moose-specific functionality.

It's API looks a lot like L<Moose::Meta::Class>, but internally it
implements many things differently. This may change in the future.

=head1 INHERITANCE

C<Moose::Meta::Role> is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Module>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Construction

=over 4

=item B<< Moose::Meta::Role->initialize($role_name) >>

This method creates a new role object with the provided name.

=item B<< Moose::Meta::Role->combine( [ $role => { ... } ], [ $role ], ... ) >>

This method accepts a list of array references. Each array reference
should contain a role name or L<Moose::Meta::Role> object as its first element. The second element is
an optional hash reference. The hash reference can contain C<-excludes>
and C<-alias> keys to control how methods are composed from the role.

The return value is a new L<Moose::Meta::Role::Composite> that
represents the combined roles.

=item B<< $metarole->composition_class_roles >>

When combining multiple roles using C<combine>, this method is used to obtain a
list of role names to be applied to the L<Moose::Meta::Role::Composite>
instance returned by C<combine>. The default implementation returns an empty
list. Extensions that need to hook into role combination may wrap this method
to return additional role names.

=item B<< Moose::Meta::Role->create($name, %options) >>

This method is identical to the L<Moose::Meta::Class> C<create>
method.

=item B<< Moose::Meta::Role->create_anon_role >>

This method is identical to the L<Moose::Meta::Class>
C<create_anon_class> method.

=item B<< $metarole->is_anon_role >>

Returns true if the role is an anonymous role.

=item B<< $metarole->consumers >>

Returns a list of names of classes and roles which consume this role.

=back

=head2 Role application

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->apply( $thing, @options ) >>

This method applies a role to the given C<$thing>. That can be another
L<Moose::Meta::Role>, object, a L<Moose::Meta::Class> object, or a
(non-meta) object instance.

The options are passed directly to the constructor for the appropriate
L<Moose::Meta::Role::Application> subclass.

Note that this will apply the role even if the C<$thing> in question already
C<does> this role.  L<Moose::Util/does_role> is a convenient wrapper for
finding out if role application is necessary.

=back

=head2 Roles and other roles

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->get_roles >>

This returns an array reference of roles which this role does. This
list may include duplicates.

=item B<< $metarole->calculate_all_roles >>

This returns a I<unique> list of all roles that this role does, and
all the roles that its roles do.

=item B<< $metarole->does_role($role) >>

Given a role I<name> or L<Moose::Meta::Role> object, returns true if this role
does the given role.

=item B<< $metarole->add_role($role) >>

Given a L<Moose::Meta::Role> object, this adds the role to the list of
roles that the role does.

=item B<< $metarole->get_excluded_roles_list >>

Returns a list of role names which this role excludes.

=item B<< $metarole->excludes_role($role_name) >>

Given a role I<name>, returns true if this role excludes the named
role.

=item B<< $metarole->add_excluded_roles(@role_names) >>

Given one or more role names, adds those roles to the list of excluded
roles.

=back

=head2 Methods

The methods for dealing with a role's methods are all identical in API
and behavior to the same methods in L<Class::MOP::Class>.

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->method_metaclass >>

Returns the method metaclass name for the role. This defaults to
L<Moose::Meta::Role::Method>.

=item B<< $metarole->get_method($name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->has_method($name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->add_method( $name, $body ) >>

=item B<< $metarole->get_method_list >>

=item B<< $metarole->find_method_by_name($name) >>

These methods are all identical to the methods of the same name in
L<Class::MOP::Package>

=back

=head2 Attributes

As with methods, the methods for dealing with a role's attribute are
all identical in API and behavior to the same methods in
L<Class::MOP::Class>.

However, attributes stored in this class are I<not> stored as
objects. Rather, the attribute definition is stored as a hash
reference. When a role is composed into a class, this hash reference
is passed directly to the metaclass's C<add_attribute> method.

This is quite likely to change in the future.

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->get_attribute($attribute_name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->has_attribute($attribute_name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->get_attribute_list >>

=item B<< $metarole->add_attribute($name, %options) >>

=item B<< $metarole->remove_attribute($attribute_name) >>

=back

=head2 Required methods

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->get_required_method_list >>

Returns the list of methods required by the role.

=item B<< $metarole->requires_method($name) >>

Returns true if the role requires the named method.

=item B<< $metarole->add_required_methods(@names) >>

Adds the named methods to the role's list of required methods.

=item B<< $metarole->remove_required_methods(@names) >>

Removes the named methods from the role's list of required methods.

=item B<< $metarole->add_conflicting_method(%params) >>

Instantiate the parameters as a L<Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting>
object, then add it to the required method list.

=back

=head2 Method modifiers

These methods act like their counterparts in L<Class::MOP::Class> and
L<Moose::Meta::Class>.

However, method modifiers are simply stored internally, and are not
applied until the role itself is applied to a class.

=over 4

=item B<< $metarole->add_after_method_modifier($method_name, $method) >>

=item B<< $metarole->add_around_method_modifier($method_name, $method) >>

=item B<< $metarole->add_before_method_modifier($method_name, $method) >>

=item B<< $metarole->add_override_method_modifier($method_name, $method) >>

These methods all add an appropriate modifier to the internal list of
modifiers.

=item B<< $metarole->has_after_method_modifiers >>

=item B<< $metarole->has_around_method_modifiers >>

=item B<< $metarole->has_before_method_modifiers >>

=item B<< $metarole->has_override_method_modifier >>

Return true if the role has any modifiers of the given type.

=item B<< $metarole->get_after_method_modifiers($method_name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->get_around_method_modifiers($method_name) >>

=item B<< $metarole->get_before_method_modifiers($method_name) >>

Given a method name, returns a list of the appropriate modifiers for
that method.
