ABSTRACT
SINGLE bean attribute information
DESCRIPTION
PerlBean::Attribute::Single
contains SINGLE bean attribute information. It is a subclass of PerlBean::Attribute
. The code and documentation methods are implemented.
CONSTRUCTOR
- new (OPT_HASH_REF)
-
Creates a new
PerlBean::Attribute::Single
object.OPT_HASH_REF
is a hash reference used to pass initialization options.OPT_HASH_REF
is mandatory. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown.Options for
OPT_HASH_REF
may include:allow_empty
-
Passed to "setAllowEmpty ()". Defaults to 1.
allow_isa
-
Passed to "setAllowIsa ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference. allow_ref
-
Passed to "setAllowRef ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference. allow_rx
-
Passed to "setAllowRx ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference. allow_value
-
Passed to "setAllowValue ()". Must be an
ARRAY
reference.
Options for
OPT_HASH_REF
inherited through packagePerlBean::Attribute
may include:attribute_name
-
Passed to "setAttributeName ()". Mandatory option.
default_value
-
Passed to "setDefaultValue ()".
exception_class
-
Passed to "setExceptionClass ()". Defaults to Error::Simple.
mandatory
-
Passed to "setMandatory ()". Defaults to 0.
method_base
-
Passed to "setMethodBase ()".
perl_bean
-
Passed to "setPerlBean ()".
short_description
-
Passed to "setShortDescription ()".
METHODS
- setAllowEmpty (VALUE)
-
State that the attribute is allowed to be empty.
VALUE
is the value. Default value at initialization is1
. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - isAllowEmpty ()
-
Returns whether the attribute is allowed to be empty or not.
- setAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Set the list of allowed classes absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on the list of allowed classes.
ARRAY
is the list value. The addition may not yield to multiple identical elements in the list. Hence, multiple occurences of the same element cause the last occurence to be inserted. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - deleteAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Delete elements from the list of allowed classes. Returns the number of deleted elements. On error an exception
Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowIsa (ARRAY)
-
Returns the count of items in
ARRAY
that are in the list of allowed classes. - valuesAllowIsa ()
-
Returns an
ARRAY
containing all values of the list of allowed classes. - setAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Set the list of allowed references absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on the list of allowed references.
ARRAY
is the list value. The addition may not yield to multiple identical elements in the list. Hence, multiple occurences of the same element cause the last occurence to be inserted. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - deleteAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Delete elements from the list of allowed references. Returns the number of deleted elements. On error an exception
Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowRef (ARRAY)
-
Returns the count of items in
ARRAY
that are in the list of allowed references. - valuesAllowRef ()
-
Returns an
ARRAY
containing all values of the list of allowed references. - setAllowRx (ARRAY)
-
Set the list of allow regular expressions absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowRx (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on the list of allow regular expressions.

Delete elements from the list of allow regular expressions. Returns the number of deleted elements. On error an exception
Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowRx (ARRAY)
-
Returns the count of items in
ARRAY
that are in the list of allow regular expressions. - valuesAllowRx ()
-
Returns an
ARRAY
containing all values of the list of allow regular expressions. - setAllowValue (ARRAY)
-
Set allowed values absolutely.
ARRAY
is the list value. Each element in the list is allowed to occur only once. Multiple occurences of the same element yield in the last occuring element to be inserted and the rest to be ignored. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - addAllowValue (ARRAY)
-
Add additional values on allowed values.
ARRAY
is the list value. The addition may not yield to multiple identical elements in the list. Hence, multiple occurences of the same element cause the last occurence to be inserted. On error an exceptionError::Simple
is thrown. - deleteAllowValue (ARRAY)
-
Delete elements from allowed values. Returns the number of deleted elements. On error an exception
Error::Simple
is thrown. - existsAllowValue (ARRAY)
-
Returns the count of items in
ARRAY
that are in allowed values. - valuesAllowValue ()
-
Returns an
ARRAY
containing all values of allowed values. - writeAllowIsa (FILEHANDLE)
-
Write
%ALLOW_ISA
line for the attribute.FILEHANDLE
is anIO::Handle
object. - writeAllowRef (FILEHANDLE)
