+=head1 NAME
+
+Package WebGUI::Definition::Shop
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Moose-based meta class for all Shop definitions in WebGUI.  Shop plugins have a name, pluginName, and
+the table where their data is stored as JSON blobs, tableName.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+A definition contains all the information needed to build an object.
+Information required to build forms are added as optional roles and
+sub metaclasses.  Database persistance is handled similarly.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+These methods are available from this class:
+
+=cut
+
+my ($import, $unimport, $init_meta) = Moose::Exporter->build_import_methods(
+    install          => [ 'unimport' ],
+    also             => 'WebGUI::Definition',
+);
+
+#-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=head2 import ( )
+
+A custom import method is provided so that uninitialized properties do not
+generate warnings.
+
+=cut
+
+sub import {
+    my $class = shift;
+    my $caller = caller;
+    $class->$import({ into_level => 1 });
+    warnings->unimport('uninitialized');
+    feature->import(':5.10');
+    namespace::autoclean->import( -cleanee => $caller );
+    return 1;
+}
+
+#-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+=head2 init_meta ( )
+
+A custom init_meta, so that if inported into a class, it applies the roles
+to the class, and applies the meta-role to the meta-class.
+
+But, if it is applied to a Role, then only the meta-role is applied, since we want
+the final application to be in the end user of the Role.
+
+This permits using this to compose Roles with their own database tables.
+
+=cut
+
+sub init_meta {
+    my $class = shift;
+    my %args = @_;
+    my $for_class = $args{for_class};

+        Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaroles(
+            for             => $for_class,
+            class_metaroles => {
+                class           => ['WebGUI::Definition::Meta::Shop'],
+            },
