# Mason::Component::ClassMeta(3pm)

Meta-information about Mason component class

## NAME

Mason::Component::ClassMeta - Meta-information about Mason component class

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # In a component:
    My path is <% $.cmeta->path %>
    My source file is <% $.cmeta->source_file %>
```

## DESCRIPTION

Every Mason::Component class has an associated Mason::Component::ClassMeta object, containing meta-information such as the component's path and source file. It can be accessed with the cmeta method.

- class

  The component class that this meta object is associated with.

- dir\_path

  The directory of the component path, relative to the component root - e.g. for a component '/foo/bar', the dir\_path is '/foo'.

- is\_top\_level

  Whether the component is considered "top level", accessible directly from `"$interp->run"` or a web request. See "top\_level\_extensions" in Mason::Interp.

- name

  The component base name, e.g. 'bar' for component '/foo/bar'.

- object\_file

  The object file produced from compiling the component.

- path

  The component path, relative to the component root - e.g. '/foo/bar'.

- source\_file

  The component source file.
