# PODNAME: Moose::Cookbook::Meta::WhyMeta # ABSTRACT: Welcome to the meta world (Why Go Meta?) __END__ =pod =encoding UTF-8 =head1 NAME Moose::Cookbook::Meta::WhyMeta - Welcome to the meta world (Why Go Meta?) =head1 VERSION version 2.2203 =head1 SUMMARY You might want to read L<Moose::Manual::MOP> if you haven't done so yet. If you've ever thought "Moose is great, but I wish it did X differently", then you've gone meta. The meta recipes demonstrate how to change and extend the way Moose works by extending and overriding how the meta classes (L<Moose::Meta::Class>, L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>, etc) work. The metaclass API is a set of classes that describe classes, roles, attributes, etc. The metaclass API lets you ask questions about a class, like "what attributes does it have?", or "what roles does the class do?" The metaclass system also lets you make changes to a class, for example by adding new methods or attributes. The interface presented by L<Moose.pm|Moose> (C<has>, C<with>, C<extends>) is just a thin layer of syntactic sugar over the underlying metaclass system. By extending and changing how this metaclass system works, you can create your own Moose variant. =head2 Examples Let's say that you want to add additional properties to attributes. Specifically, we want to add a "label" property to each attribute, so we can write C<< My::Class->meta()->get_attribute('size')->label() >>. The first recipe shows how to do this using an attribute trait. You might also want to add additional properties to your metaclass. For example, if you were writing an ORM based on Moose, you could associate a table name with each class via the class's metaclass object, letting you write C<< My::Class->meta()->table_name() >>. =head1 SEE ALSO Many of the MooseX modules on CPAN implement metaclass extensions. A couple good examples include L<MooseX::Aliases> and L<MooseX::UndefTolerant>. For a more complex example see L<Fey::ORM> or L<Bread::Board::Declare>. =head1 AUTHORS =over 4 =item * Stevan Little <stevan@cpan.org> =item * Dave Rolsky <autarch@urth.org> =item * Jesse Luehrs <doy@cpan.org> =item * Shawn M Moore <sartak@cpan.org> =item * יובל קוג'מן (Yuval Kogman) <nothingmuch@woobling.org> =item * Karen Etheridge <ether@cpan.org> =item * Florian Ragwitz <rafl@debian.org> =item * Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org> =item * Chris Prather <chris@prather.org> =item * Matt S Trout <mstrout@cpan.org> =back =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2006 by Infinity Interactive, Inc.
