NAME

Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor::Overrideable - The default accessor type

VERSION

This document describes Class::Dot version 2.0.0_15

SYNOPSIS

See Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor for usage information.

DESCRIPTION

These are the default accessors when no -accessor_type option is set. They are called Overrideable because they are easily overrided when the -override option is set.

To override a semi-affordance attribute just do this:

    use Class::Dot2 qw(-override);

    property name => (isa => 'Str', default => 'George Louis Constanza');

    sub name {
        my ($self) = @_;

        my $name   = $self->__getattr__('name');
        carp "Someone requested the name of: $name ($self)";

        return $name;
    }

    sub set_name {
        my ($self, $new_name) = @_;

        my $name = $self->__getattr__('name');
        carp "Someone changed $name's name to $new_name ($self)";
        $self->__setattr__('name', $new_name);

        return;
    }

If you define your property in a BEGIN, INIT or CHECK block, however, you have to do it a bit differently:

    BEGIN {
        use Class::Dot2 qw(-override);
        property name => (isa => 'Str', default => 'George Louis Constanza');

        after_property_get name => sub {
            my ($self) = @_;

            my $name   = $self->__getattr__('name');
            carp "Someone requested the name of: $name ($self)";

            return $name;
        }; # << NOTE: the semicolon is required

        after_property_set set_name => {
            my ($self, $new_name) = @_;

            my $name = $self->__getattr__('name');
            carp "Someone changed $name's name to $new_name ($self)";
            $self->__setattr__('name', $new_name);

            return;
        }; # << NOTE: the semicolon is required

DIAGNOSTICS

You tried to set a value with %s(). Did you mean %s() ?

You tried to set a value via an accessor that is a get accessor, not a mutator. You should probably follow the error message advice.

Can't set value with %s(). It's read only!

The attribute you tried to set is readonly and can't be set like this, if you feel otherwise, declare it as public, or set the value via $self->__setattr__($attribute_name, $value).

Can only set value with %s(), it's write only!

You tried to get the value from a writeonly attribute. If you feel the attribute shouldn't be writeonly you should declare it as public, or you can get the value via $self->__getattr__($attribute_name).
