16 A class:
17 package My::Class;
19 use strict;
20 use warnings;
21 use Test::Stream::HashBase accessors => [qw/foo bar baz/];
23 # Chance to initialize defaults
25 sub init {
26 my $self = shift; # No other args
27 $self->{+FOO} ||= "foo";
28 $self->{+BAR} ||= "bar";
29 $self->{+BAZ} ||= "baz";
30 }
31 sub print {
33 print join ", " => map { $self->{$_} } FOO, BAR, BAZ;
34 }
35 Subclass it
37 package My::Subclass;
39 use strict;
40 use warnings;
41 # Note, you should subclass before loading HashBase.
43 use base 'My::Class';
44 use Test::Stream::HashBase accessors => ['bat'];
45 sub init {
47 my $self = shift;
48 # We get the constants from the base class for free.
50 $self->{+FOO} ||= 'SubFoo';
51 $self->{+BAT} || = 'bat';
52 $self->SUPER::init();
54 }
55 use it:
57 package main;
59 use strict;
60 use warnings;
61 use My::Class;
62 my $one = My::Class->new(foo => 'MyFoo', bar => 'MyBar');
64 # Accessors!
66 my $foo = $one->foo; # 'MyFoo'
67 my $bar = $one->bar; # 'MyBar'
68 my $baz = $one->baz; # Defaulted to: 'baz'
69 # Setters!
71 $one->set_foo('A Foo');
72 $one->set_bar('A Bar');
73 $one->set_baz('A Baz');
74 # Clear!
76 $one->clear_foo;
77 $one->clear_bar;
78 $one->clear_baz;
79 $one->{+FOO} = 'xxx';

83 This package is used to generate classes based on hashrefs. Using this
84 class will give you a "new()" method, as well as generating accessors
85 you request. Generated accessors will be getters, "set_ACCESSOR"
86 setters will also be generated for you. You also get constants for each
87 accessor (all caps) which return the key into the hash for that
88 accessor. Single inheritence is also supported.
89
91 accessors => [...]
92 This is how you define your accessors. See the ACCESSORS section
93 below.
94 base => $class
96 *** DEPRECATED *** Just "use base 'Parent::Class';" before loading
97 HashBase.
98 This is how you subclass a Test::Stream::Hashbase class. This will
100 give you all the constants of the parent(s).
101 into => $class
103 This is a way to apply HashBase to another class.
104 package My::Thing;
106 sub import {
108 my $caller = caller;
109 Test::Stream::HashBase->import(@_, into => $class);
110 ...
111 }
112
114 PROVIDED BY HASH BASE
115 $it = $class->new(@VALUES)
116 Create a new instance using key/value pairs.
117 HOOKS
119 $self->init()
120 This gives you the chance to set some default values to your
121 fields. The only argument is $self with its indexes already set
122 from the constructor.
123
125 To generate accessors you list them when using the module:
126 use Test::Stream::HashBase accessors => [qw/foo/];
128 This will generate the following subs in your namespace:
130 foo()
132 Getter, used to get the value of the "foo" field.
133 set_foo()
135 Setter, used to set the value of the "foo" field.
136 clear_foo()
138 Clearer, used to completely remove the 'foo' key from the object
139 hash.
140 FOO()
142 Constant, returs the field "foo"'s key into the class hashref.
143 Subclasses will also get this function as a constant, not simply a
144 method, that means it is copied into the subclass namespace.
145 The main reason for using these constants is to help avoid spelling
147 mistakes and similar typos. It will not help you if you forget to
148 prefix the '+' though.
149
151 You can subclass an existing HashBase class.
152 use Test::Stream::HashBase
154 base => 'Another::HashBase::Class',
155 accessors => [qw/foo bar baz/];
156 The base class is added to @ISA for you, and all constants from base
158 classes are added to subclasses automatically.
159
161 hashbase has a handful of class methods that can be used to generate
162 accessors. These methods ARE NOT exported, and are not attached to
163 objects created with hashbase.
164 $sub = Test::Stream::HashBase->gen_accessor($field)
166 This generates a coderef that acts as an accessor for the specified
167 field.
168 $sub = Test::Stream::HashBase->gen_getter($field)
170 This generates a coderef that acts as a getter for the specified
171 field.
172 $sub = Test::Stream::HashBase->get_setter($field)
174 This generates a coderef that acts as a setter for the specified
175 field.
176 These all work in the same way, except that getters only get, setters
178 always set, and accessors can get and/or set.
179 my $sub = Test::Stream::HashBase->gen_accessor('foo');
181 my $foo = $obj->$sub();
182 $obj->$sub('value');
183 You can also add the sub to your class as a named method:
185 *foo = Test::Stream::HashBase->gen_accessor('foo');
