$Id: /my/cs/projects/Mixin-ExtraFields-Param/trunk/lib/Mixin/ExtraFields/Param.pm 29059 2006-12-11T03:20:29.045283Z rjbs  $

SYNOPSIS

package Widget::Parametric;
use Mixin::ExtraFields::Param -fields => { driver => 'HashGuts' };;

...

my $widget = Widget::Parametric->new({ flavor => 'vanilla' });

printf "%s: %s\n", $_, $widget->param($_) for $widget->param;

DESCRIPTION

This module mixes in to your class to provide a param method like the ones provided by CGI, CGI::Application, and other classes. It uses Mixin::ExtraFields, which means it can use any Mixin::ExtraFields driver to store your data.

By default, the methods provided are:

  • param

  • exists_param

  • delete_param

These methods are imported by the fields group, which must be requested. If a moniker argument is supplied, the moniker is used instead of "param". For more information, see Mixin::ExtraFields.

METHODS

param

my @params = $object->param;        # get names of existing params

my $value = $object->param('name'); # get value of a param

my $value = $object->param(name => $value); # set a param's value

my @values = $object->param(n1 => $v1, n2 => $v2, ...); # set many values

This method sets or retrieves parameters.
