new
Salvation::MacroProcessor::MethodDescription -> new(
method => $method,
orig_method => $orig_method,
associated_meta => $associated_meta,
previously_associated_meta => $previously_associated_meta,
query => $query,
postfilter => $postfilter,

imported => $imported,
connector_chain => $connector_chain
)Constructor.
Returns Salvation::MacroProcessor::MethodDescription instance.
Only method and associated_meta arguments are required.
Mostly all arguments documented at this section below, or at smp_add_description function documentation of Salvation::MacroProcessor module, except imported argument which is simply a boolean value where true means "this description is imported from some other class" and false means "this description is not imported from anywhere".
method
$description -> method();Returns a name of the description. Usually matches a name of the method being described, though can be different in some cases.
orig_method
$description -> orig_method();Returns an original name of the description. In example, if the description of method named id has been imported into another class with prefix parent_, then such description will have method equal to parent_id and orig_method equal to id.
associated_meta
$description -> associated_meta();Returns Moose::Meta::Class or Moose::Meta::Role object instance corresponding to the object which has defined the description.
connector_chain
$description -> connector_chain();Return an ArrayRef. Each element is another ArrayRef containing two elements:
- class name
-
String. A name of the class where the description has been imported.
- connector name
-
String. A name of the connector which has been used to import description.
This will hold the whole import chain for description being imported.
previously_associated_meta
$description -> previously_associated_meta();Returns Moose::Meta::Class or Moose::Meta::Role object instance corresponding to the object which has defined the description. It is used when child class inherits a description from its parent and holds the reference to parent's class metaclass.
inherited_description
$description -> inherited_description();Returns Salvation::MacroProcessor::MethodDescription object instance as it has been defined by a parent class if the description has been inherited.
attr
$description -> attr();Returns Moose::Meta::Attribute object instance if the description is for attribute instead of plain method.
clone
$description -> clone();Clones description, returning new-made clone.
excludes_filters
$description -> excludes_filters();Returns an ArrayRef. Each element is the name of conflicting description.
postfilter
$description -> postfilter( $object, $value );Returns boolean value. Executes custom description's post-filtering code. See postfilter argument of Salvation::MacroProcessor::smp_add_description method.
query
$description -> query( $value );
$description -> query( $shares, $value );Returns ArrayRef which is a processed query part for this description, customized for given $value and $shares as told by query argument of Salvation::MacroProcessor::smp_add_description or Salvation::MacroProcessor::Hooks::query_from_attribute call, if any is applicable.
required_filters
$description -> required_filters();Returns an ArrayRef. Each element is the name of required description.
required_shares
$description -> required_shares();Returns an ArrayRef. Each element is the name of required share.
