=head1 NAME
MooseX::MetaDescription - A framework for adding additional metadata to Moose classes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use metaclass 'MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Class' => (
# add class-level metadata
description => {
'Hello' => 'World'
}
);
use Moose;
has 'bar' => (
metaclass => 'MooseX::MetaDescription::Meta::Attribute',
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Str',
default => sub { Bar->new() },
# add attribute level metadata
description => {
node_type => 'element',
}
);
my $foo = Foo->new;
$foo->meta->description; # { 'Hello' => 'World' }
my $bar = $foo->meta->get_attribute('bar');
# access the desciption HASH directly
$bar->description; # { node_type => 'element' }
# or access the instance of MooseX::MetaDescription::Description
$bar->metadescription;
# access the original attribute metaobject from the metadesc too
$bar->metadescription->descriptor == $bar;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MooseX::MetaDescription allows you to add arbitrary out of band
metadata to your Moose classes and attributes. This will allow
you to track out of band data along with attributes, which is
very useful for say serializing Moose classes in HTML or XML.
