SYNOPSIS

10        use HTML::Mason::MethodMaker
11            ( read_only => 'foo',
12              read_write => [
13                             [ bar => { type => SCALAR } ],
14                             [ baz => { isa => 'HTML::Mason::Baz' } ],
15                             'quux', # no validation
16                            ],
17              read_write_contained => { other_object =>
18                                        [
19                                         [ 'thing1' => { isa => 'Thing1' } ],
20                                         'thing2', # no validation
21                                        ]

DESCRIPTION

26       This automates the creation of simple accessor methods.
27

USAGE

29       This module creates methods when it is "use"'d by another module.
30       There are three types of methods: 'read_only', 'read_write',
31       'read_write_contained'.
32
33       Attributes specified as 'read_only' get an accessor that only returns
34       the value of the attribute.  Presumably, these attributes are set via
35       more complicated methods in the class or as a side effect of one of its
36       methods.
37
38       Attributes specified as 'read_write' will take a single optional
39       parameter.  If given, this parameter will become the new value of the
40       attribute.  This value is then returned from the method.  If no
41       parameter is given, then the current value is returned.
42
43       If you want the accessor to use "Params::Validate" to validate any
44       values passed to the accessor (and you _do_), then the the accessor
45       specification should be an array reference containing two elements.
46       The first element is the accessor name and the second is the validation
47       spec.
48
49       The 'read_write_contained' parameter is used to create accessor for
50       delayed contained objects.  A delayed contained object is one that is
51       not created in the containing object's accessor, but rather at some
52       point after the containing object is constructed.  For example, the
53       Interpreter object creates Request objects after the Interpreter itself
54       has been created.
55
56       The value of the 'read_write_contained' parameter should be a hash
57       reference.  The keys are the internal name of the contained object,
58       such as "request" or "compiler".  The values for the keys are the same
59       as the parameters given for 'read_write' accessors.
