.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This package is used to generate classes based on hashrefs. Using this class
will give you a \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR method, as well as generating accessors you request.
Generated accessors will be getters, \f(CW\*(C`set_ACCESSOR\*(C'\fR setters will also be
generated for you. You also get constants for each accessor (all caps) which
return the key into the hash for that accessor. Single inheritance is also
supported.
.SH "THIS IS A BUNDLED COPY OF HASHBASE"
.IX Header "THIS IS A BUNDLED COPY OF HASHBASE"
This is a bundled copy of Object::HashBase. This file was generated using
the
\&\f(CW\*(C`/home/exodist/perl5/perlbrew/perls/main/bin/hashbase_inc.pl\*(C'\fR
script.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "\s-1PROVIDED BY HASH BASE\s0"
.IX Subsection "PROVIDED BY HASH BASE"
.ie n .IP "$it = $class\->new(@VALUES)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$it\fR = \f(CW$class\fR\->new(@VALUES)" 4
.IX Item "$it = $class->new(@VALUES)"
Create a new instance using key/value pairs.
.Sp
HashBase will not export \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR if there is already a \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR method in your
packages inheritance chain.
.Sp
\&\fBIf you do not want this method you can define your own\fR you just have to
declare it before loading Term::Table::HashBase.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    package My::Package;
\&
\&    # predeclare new() so that HashBase does not give us one.
\&    sub new;
\&
\&    use Term::Table::HashBase qw/foo bar baz/;
\&
\&    # Now we define our own new method.
\&    sub new { ... }
.Ve
.Sp
This makes it so that HashBase sees that you have your own \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR method.
Alternatively you can define the method before loading HashBase instead of just
declaring it, but that scatters your use statements.
.SS "\s-1HOOKS\s0"
.IX Subsection "HOOKS"
.ie n .IP "$self\->\fBinit()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$self\fR\->\fBinit()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$self->init()"
This gives you the chance to set some default values to your fields. The only
argument is \f(CW$self\fR with its indexes already set from the constructor.
.SH "ACCESSORS"
.IX Header "ACCESSORS"
To generate accessors you list them when using the module:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    use Term::Table::HashBase qw/foo/;
.Ve
.PP
This will generate the following subs in your namespace:
.IP "\fBfoo()\fR" 4
.IX Item "foo()"
Getter, used to get the value of the \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR field.
.IP "\fBset_foo()\fR" 4
.IX Item "set_foo()"
Setter, used to set the value of the \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR field.
.IP "\s-1\fBFOO\s0()\fR" 4
.IX Item "FOO()"
Constant, returns the field \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR's key into the class hashref. Subclasses will
also get this function as a constant, not simply a method, that means it is
copied into the subclass namespace.
.Sp
The main reason for using these constants is to help avoid spelling mistakes
and similar typos. It will not help you if you forget to prefix the '+' though.
.SH "SUBCLASSING"
.IX Header "SUBCLASSING"
You can subclass an existing HashBase class.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use base \*(AqAnother::HashBase::Class\*(Aq;
\&    use Term::Table::HashBase qw/foo bar baz/;
.Ve
.PP
The base class is added to \f(CW@ISA\fR for you, and all constants from base classes
are added to subclasses automatically.
