NAME¶
Mason::Plugin::LvalueAttributes - Create lvalue accessors for all rw component
attributes
SYNOPSIS¶
<%class>
has 'a' => (is => "rw")
has 'b' => (is => "ro")
</%class>
<%init>
# set a to 5
$.a = 5;
# set a to 6
$.a(6);
# error
$.b = 7;
</%init>
DESCRIPTION¶
This plugins creates an Lvalue accessor for every read/write attribute in the
component. Which means that instead of writing:
$.name( "Foo" );
you can use the more natural syntax
$.name = "Foo";
WARNING¶
Standard Moose setter features such as type checking, triggers, and coercion
will not work on Lvalue attributes. You should only use this plugin when the
convenience of the Lvalue attributes outweighs the need for setter features.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS¶
Inspired by Christopher Brown's MooseX::Meta::Attribute::Lvalue.
