Class::MOP::Method::Accessor(3)            User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Class::MOP::Method::Accessor - Method Meta Object for accessors

VERSION
       version 2.4000

SYNOPSIS
           use Class::MOP::Method::Accessor;

           my $reader = Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(
               attribute     => $attribute,
               is_inline     => 1,
               accessor_type => 'reader',
           );

           $reader->body->execute($instance); # call the reader method

DESCRIPTION
       This is a subclass of "Class::MOP::Method" which is used by
       "Class::MOP::Attribute" to generate accessor code. It handles
       generation of readers, writers, predicates and clearers. For each type
       of method, it can either create a subroutine reference, or actually
       inline code by generating a string and "eval"'ing it.

METHODS
       Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(%options)
           This returns a new "Class::MOP::Method::Accessor" based on the
           %options provided.

           o   attribute

               This is the "Class::MOP::Attribute" for which accessors are
               being generated. This option is required.

           o   accessor_type

               This is a string which should be one of "reader", "writer",
               "accessor", "predicate", or "clearer". This is the type of
               method being generated. This option is required.

           o   is_inline

               This indicates whether or not the accessor should be inlined.
               This defaults to false.

           o   name

               The method name (without a package name). This is required.

           o   package_name

               The package name for the method. This is required.

       $metamethod->accessor_type
           Returns the accessor type which was passed to "new".

       $metamethod->is_inline
           Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the accessor is
           inlined.

       $metamethod->associated_attribute
           This returns the Class::MOP::Attribute object which was passed to
           "new".

       $metamethod->body
           The method itself is generated when the accessor object is
           constructed.
