NAME

PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean - contains BOOLEAN bean attribute information

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean;
my $attr = PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean->new ({
	attribute_name => 'true',
	short_description => 'something is true',
});

use IO::File;
-d 'tmp' || mkdir ('tmp');
my $fh = IO::File->new ('> tmp/PerlBean_Attribute_Boolean.pl.out');
$attr->writeMethods ($fh);
$attr->writeDocMethods ($fh);

ABSTRACT

BOOLEAN bean attribute information

DESCRIPTION

PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean contains BOOLEAN bean attribute information. It is a subclass of PerlBean::Attribute. The code generation and documentation methods are implemented.

CONSTRUCTOR

new (OPT_HASH_REF)

Creates a new PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean object. OPT_HASH_REF is a hash reference used to pass initialization options. OPT_HASH_REF is mandatory. On error an exception Error::Simple is thrown.

Options for OPT_HASH_REF inherited through package PerlBean::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

getOverloadedAttribute ()

This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Searches superclass packages for an identically named PerlBean::Attribute. If found it is returned otherwise undef is returned

getPackage ()

This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Returns the package name. The package name is obtained from the PerlBean to which the PerlBean::Attribute belongs. Or, if the PerlBean::Attribute does not belong to a PerlBean, main is returned.

getPackageUS ()

This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Calls getPackage () and replaces :+ with C <_>.

type ()

This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Determins and returns the type of the attribute. The type is either BOOLEAN, SINGLE or MULTI.

writeDefaultValue (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes %DEFAULT_VALUE line for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.

writeDocClauses (FILEHANDLE)

This method is inherited from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes documentation for the clauses to which the contents the contents of the attribute must adhere. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.

writeDocInheritMethods (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute in the case the attibute methods are inherited. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. Access methods are set... and is....

writeDocInit (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes documentation for _initialize () for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.

writeDocMethods (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes documentation for the access methods for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. Access methods are set... and is....

writeMethods (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes the access methods for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object. Access methods are set... and is....

writeOptInit (FILEHANDLE)

This method is an implementation from package 'PerlBean::Attribute'. Writes _initialize () option parsing code for the attribute. FILEHANDLE is an IO::Handle object.

INHERITED METHODS FROM PerlBean::Attribute

To access attribute named attribute_name:

setAttributeName (), getAttributeName ()

To access attribute named default_value:

setDefaultValue (), getDefaultValue ()

To access attribute named exception_class:

setExceptionClass (), getExceptionClass ()

To access attribute named mandatory:

setMandatory (), isMandatory ()

To access attribute named method_base:

setMethodBase (), getMethodBase ()

To access attribute named perl_bean:

setPerlBean (), getPerlBean ()

To access attribute named short_description:

setShortDescription (), getShortDescription ()
