SYNOPSIS

package MyHomePage;
use Moose;
has 'text' => (
traits => ['String'],
is => 'rw',
isa => 'Str',
default => q{},
handles => {
add_text => 'append',
replace_text => 'replace',
},
);
my $page = MyHomePage->new();
$page->add_text("foo"); # same as $page->text($page->text . "foo");

DESCRIPTION

This trait provides native delegation methods for strings.

DEFAULT TYPE

If you don't provide an "isa" value for your attribute, it will default to "Str".

PROVIDED METHODS

• inc

  Increments the value stored in this slot using the magical string autoincrement operator. Note that Perl doesn't provide analogous behavior in "--", so "dec" is not available. This method returns the new value.

  This method does not accept any arguments.

• append($string)

  Appends to the string, like ".=", and returns the new value.

  This method requires a single argument.

• prepend($string)

  Prepends to the string and returns the new value.

  This method requires a single argument.

• replace($pattern, $replacement)

  Performs a regexp substitution (``s'' in perlop). There is no way to provide the "g" flag, but code references will be accepted for the replacement, causing the regex to be modified with a single "e". "/smxi" can be applied using the "qr" operator. This method returns the new value.

  This method requires two arguments.

• match($pattern)

  Runs the regex against the string and returns the matching value(s).

  This method requires a single argument.

• chop

  Just like ``chop'' in perlfunc. This method returns the chopped character.

  This method does not accept any arguments.

• chomp

  Just like ``chomp'' in perlfunc. This method returns the number of characters removed.

  This method does not accept any arguments.

• clear

  Sets the string to the empty string (not the value passed to "default").

  This method does not have a defined return value.

  This method does not accept any arguments.

• length

  Just like ``length'' in perlfunc, returns the length of the string.

• substr

  This acts just like ``substr'' in perlfunc. When called as a writer, it returns the substring that was replaced, just like the Perl builtin.

  This method requires at least one argument, and accepts no more than three.
