role Metamodel::Versioning { ... }

Metamodel role for (optionally) versioning metaobjects.

When you declare a type, you can pass it a version, author, and/or API and get them, like so:

class Versioned:ver<0.0.1>:auth<github:Kaiepi>:api<1> { }
 
say Versioned.^ver;  # OUTPUT: «v0.0.1␤» 
say Versioned.^auth; # OUTPUT: «github:Kaiepi␤» 
say Versioned.^api;  # OUTPUT: «1␤» 

This is roughly equivalent to the following, which also sets them explicitly:

BEGIN {
    class Versioned { }
    Versioned.^set_ver:  v0.0.1;
    Versioned.^set_auth: 'github:Kaiepi';
    Versioned.^set_api:  <1>;
}
 
say Versioned.^ver;  # OUTPUT: «v0.0.1␤» 
say Versioned.^auth; # OUTPUT: «github:Kaiepi␤» 
say Versioned.^api;  # OUTPUT: «1␤»
