=head1 NAME

Badger::Data::Facet::Class - metaprogramming module for data facet classes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Badger::Data::Facet::Text::Example;

    use Badger::Data::Facet::Class
        version   => 0.01,
        type      => 'text',        # base data type
        args      => 'foo bar',     # mandatory arguments
        opts      => 'baz bam';     # optional arguments

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module implements a subclass of L<Badger::Class> for creating data
validation facets.

=head1 METHODS

This module implements the following methods in addition to those inherited 
from the L<Badger::Class> base class.

=head2 type($type)

This method implements the C<type> import hook for specifying the base data
type for a validation facet.

=head2 args($args)

This method implements the C<args> import hook for specifying the mandatory
configuration arguments for a validation fact.

=head2 opts($opts)

This method implements the C<opts> import hook for specifying the optional
configuration arguments for a validation facet.
