VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

  use decorators ':for_providers';

DESCRIPTION

This is a decorator provider which contains some useful decorators for people who are writing decorator providers.

DECORATORS

Decorator

This is a TagMethod meant to mark a subroutine as a Decorator. This decorator much be attached to a subroutine if you want it to be considered as a decorator by the system.

CreateMethod

This means that the decorator handler will create the method exclusivily. This means the method must be a bodyless method. Ideally there is only one CreateMethod decorator attached to the method and it is the first one that is executed. If this is not the case, the decorator will likely fail to be applied.

WrapMethod

This means that the decorator handle will override, or wrap, the method. This means the method must exist already.

TagMethod

This means that the decorator is really just a tag added to the method. These typically will be processed at runtime through introspection, so can simply be no-op subroutines. As with WrapMethod this means the method must exist already.
