.SH NAME
Moose::Meta::Role::Composite \- An object to represent the set of roles
.SH VERSION
.IX Header "VERSION"
version 2.2207
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A composite is a role that consists of a set of two or more roles.
.PP
The API of a composite role is almost identical to that of a regular
role.
.SH INHERITANCE
.IX Header "INHERITANCE"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Moose::Meta::Role::Composite\*(C'\fR is a subclass of Moose::Meta::Role.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS Moose::Meta::Role::Composite\->new(%options)
.IX Subsection "Moose::Meta::Role::Composite->new(%options)"
This returns a new composite role object. It accepts the same
options as its parent class, with a few changes:
.IP \(bu 4
roles
.Sp
This option is an array reference containing a list of
Moose::Meta::Role object. This is a required option.
.IP \(bu 4
name
.Sp
If a name is not given, one is generated from the roles provided.
.IP \(bu 4
apply_params(\e%role_params)
.Sp
Creates a new RoleSummation role application with \f(CW%role_params\fR and applies
the composite role to it. The RoleSummation role application class used is
determined by the composite role's \f(CW\*(C`application_role_summation_class\*(C'\fR
attribute.
.IP \(bu 4
reinitialize($metaclass)
.Sp
Like \f(CW\*(C`Class::MOP::Package\->reinitialize\*(C'\fR, but doesn't allow passing a
string with the package name, as there is no real package for composite roles.
