NAME¶
"Tangence::Meta::Class" - structure representing one "Tangence" classDESCRIPTION¶
This data structure object stores information about one Tangence class. Once constructed and defined, such objects are immutable.CONSTRUCTOR¶
$class = Tangence::Meta::Class->new( name => $name )¶
Returns a new instance representing the given name.$class->define( %args )¶
Provides a definition for the class.- methods => HASH
- events => HASH
- properties => HASH
- Optional HASH references containing metadata about methods, events and properties, as instances of Tangence::Meta::Method, Tangence::Meta::Event or Tangence::Meta::Property.
- superclasses => ARRAY
- Optional ARRAY reference containing superclasses as "Tangence::Meta::Class" references.
ACCESSORS¶
$defined = $class->defined¶
Returns true if a definintion for the class has been provided using "define".$name = $class->name¶
Returns the name of the class$perlname = $class->perlname¶
Returns the perl name of the class. This will be the Tangence name, with dots replaced by double colons ("::").@superclasses = $class->direct_superclasses¶
Return the direct superclasses in a list of "Tangence::Meta::Class" references.$methods = $class->direct_methods¶
Return the methods that this class directly defines (rather than inheriting from superclasses) as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Method instances.$events = $class->direct_events¶
Return the events that this class directly defines (rather than inheriting from superclasses) as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Event instances.$properties = $class->direct_properties¶
Return the properties that this class directly defines (rather than inheriting from superclasses) as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Property instances.AGGREGATE ACCESSORS¶
The following accessors inspect the full inheritance tree of this class and all its superclasses@superclasses = $class->superclasses¶
Return all the superclasses in a list of unique "Tangence::Meta::Class" references.$methods = $class->methods¶
Return all the methods available to this class as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Method instances.$method = $class->method( $name )¶
Return the named method as a Tangence::Meta::Method instance, or "undef" if no such method exists.$events = $class->events¶
Return all the events available to this class as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Event instances.$event = $class->event( $name )¶
Return the named event as a Tangence::Meta::Event instance, or "undef" if no such event exists.$properties = $class->properties¶
Return all the properties available to this class as a HASH reference mapping names to Tangence::Meta::Property instances.$property = $class->property( $name )¶
Return the named property as a Tangence::Meta::Property instance, or "undef" if no such property exists.AUTHOR¶
