PPI::Token::Attribute - A token for a subroutine attribute

Author

       Adam Kennedy <adamk@cpan.org>

Description

       In Perl, attributes are a relatively recent addition to the language.

       Given the code " sub foo : bar(something) {} ", the bar(something) part is the attribute.

       A "PPI::Token::Attribute" token represents the entire of the attribute, as the braces and its contents
       are not parsed into the tree, and are treated by Perl (and thus by us) as a single string.

Inheritance

         PPI::Token::Attribute
         isa PPI::Token
             isa PPI::Element

Methods

       This class provides some additional methods beyond those provided by its PPI::Token and PPI::Element
       parent classes.

   identifier
       The "identifier" attribute returns the identifier part of the attribute.

       That is, for the attribute foo(bar), the "identifier" method would return "foo".

   parameters
       The "parameters" method returns the parameter string for the attribute.

       That is, for the attribute foo(bar), the "parameters" method would return "bar".

       Returns the parameters as a string (including the null string '' for the case of an attribute such as
       foo().)

       Returns "undef" if the attribute does not have parameters.

Name

       PPI::Token::Attribute - A token for a subroutine attribute
