VERSION
This document describes Getopt::LL version v%%VERSION%%
SYNOPSIS
package Animal::Mammal::Carnivorous::Cat;
use Class::Dot qw( :std );
# A cat's properties, with their default values and type of data.
property gender => isa_String('male');
property memory => isa_Hash;
property state => isa_Hash(instinct => 'hungry');
property family => isa_Array;
property dna => isa_Data;
property action => isa_Data;
property colour => isa_Int(0xfeedface);
property fur => isa_Array('short');
sub new {
my ($class, $gender) = @_;
my $self = { }; # Must be anonymous hash for Class::Dot to work.
bless $self, $class;
$self->set_gender($gender);
warn sprintf('A new cat is born, it is a %s. Weeeeh!',
$self->gender
);
return $self;
}
sub run {
while (1) {
die if $self->state->{dead};
}
}
package main;
my $albert = new Animal::Mammal::Carnivorous::Cat('male');
$albert->memory->{name} = 'Albert';
$albert->state->{appetite} = 'insane';
$albert->set_fur([qw(short thin shiny)]);
$albert->set_action('hunting');
my $lucy = new Animal::Mammal::Carnivorous::Cat('female');
$lucy->memory->{name} = 'Lucy';
$lucy->state->{instinct => 'tired'};
$lucy->set_fur([qw(fluffy long)]);
$lucy->set_action('sleeping');
push @{ $lucy->family }, [$albert];
push @{ $albert->family }, [$lucy ];DESCRIPTION
A simple module for creating accessor methods with default types.
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
CLASS METHODS
property($property, $default_value)
Example:
property foo => isa_String('hello world');
property bar => isa_Int(303);will create the methods:
foo( )
set_foo($value)
bar( )
set_bar($value)with default return values -hello world- and -303-.
isa_String($default_value)
The property is a string.
isa_Int($default_value)
The property is a number.
isa_Array(@default_values)
The property is an array.
isa_Hash(%default_values)
The property is an hash.
isa_Object($kind)
The property is a object. (Does not really set a default value.).
isa_Data()
The object is of a not yet defined data type.
INSTANCE METHODS
->properties_for_class($class)
Return the list of properties for a class/object that uses the powers.
PRIVATE CLASS METHODS
_create_get_accessor($property, $default_value)
Create the set accessor for a property. Returns a code reference to the new setter method. It has to be installed into the callers package afterwards.
{_create_set_accessor($property)
Create the get accessor for a property. Returns a code reference to the new getter method. It has to be installed into the callers package afterwards.
