NAME Class::Accessor::Grouped - Lets you build groups of accessors SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different getters and setters. METHODS mk_group_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of accessors in a given group. $group is the name of the accessor group for the generated accessors; they will call get_$group($field) on get and set_$group($field, $value) on set. @fieldspec is a list of field/accessor names; if a fieldspec is a scalar this is used as both field and accessor name, if a listref it is expected to be of the form [ $accessor, $field ]. mk_group_ro_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of read only accessors in a given group. Identical to but accessors will throw an error if passed a value rather than setting the value. mk_group_wo_accessors Arguments: $group, @fieldspec Returns: none Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to but accessors will throw an error if not passed a value rather than getting the value. make_group_accessor Arguments: $group, $field Returns: $sub (\CODE) Returns a single accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. make_group_ro_accessor Arguments: $group, $field Returns: $sub (\CODE) Returns a single read-only accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_ro_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. make_group_wo_accessor Arguments: $group, $field Returns: $sub (\CODE) Returns a single write-only accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_wo_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec. get_simple Arguments: $field Returns: $value Simple getter for hash-based objects which returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. set_simple Arguments: $field, $new_value Returns: $new_value Simple setter for hash-based objects which sets and then returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. get_inherited Arguments: $field Returns: $value Simple getter for Classes and hash-based objects which returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. This behaves much like Class::Data::Accessor where the field can be set in a base class, inherited and changed in subclasses, and inherited and changed for object instances. set_inherited Arguments: $field, $new_value Returns: $new_value Simple setter for Classes and hash-based objects which sets and then returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. When called on a hash-based object it will set the appropriate hash key value. When called on a class, it will set a class level variable. Note:: This method will die if you try to set an object variable on a non hash-based object. get_component_class Arguments: $field Returns: $value Gets the value of the specified component class. __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class'); $self->result_class->method(); ## same as $self->get_component_class('result_class')->method(); set_component_class Arguments: $field, $class Returns: $new_value Inherited accessor that automatically loads the specified class before setting it. This method will die if the specified class could not be loaded. __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class'); __PACKAGE__->result_class('MyClass'); $self->result_class->method(); get_super_paths Returns a list of 'parent' or 'super' class names that the current class inherited from.
