in other classes
VERSION
version 1.54
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Mason::MethodMaker
( read_only => 'foo',
read_write => [
[ bar => { type => SCALAR } ],
[ baz => { isa => 'HTML::Mason::Baz' } ],
'quux', # no validation
],
read_write_contained => { other_object =>
[
[ 'thing1' => { isa => 'Thing1' } ],
'thing2', # no validation
]
},
);
DESCRIPTION
This automates the creation of simple accessor methods.
USAGE
This module creates methods when it is "use"'d by another module.
There are three types of methods: 'read_only', 'read_write',
'read_write_contained'.
Attributes specified as 'read_only' get an accessor that only returns
the value of the attribute. Presumably, these attributes are set via
more complicated methods in the class or as a side effect of one of its
methods.
Attributes specified as 'read_write' will take a single optional
parameter. If given, this parameter will become the new value of the
attribute. This value is then returned from the method. If no
parameter is given, then the current value is returned.
If you want the accessor to use "Params::Validate" to validate any
values passed to the accessor (and you _do_), then the the accessor
specification should be an array reference containing two elements.
The first element is the accessor name and the second is the validation
spec.
The 'read_write_contained' parameter is used to create accessor for
delayed contained objects. A delayed contained object is one that is
not created in the containing object's accessor, but rather at some
point after the containing object is constructed. For example, the
Interpreter object creates Request objects after the Interpreter itself
has been created.
The value of the 'read_write_contained' parameter should be a hash
reference. The keys are the internal name of the contained object,
such as "request" or "compiler". The values for the keys are the same
as the parameters given for 'read_write' accessors.
