NAME

6       Class::Field - Class Field Accessor Generator
7

VERSION

9       This document describes Class::Field version 0.24.
10

SYNOPSIS

12           package Thing;
13           use Class::Field qw'field const';
14
15           field 'this';
16           field 'list' => [];
17           field 'map' => {};
18           field 'that', -init => '$self->setup_that';
19           field 'circular_ref' => -weaken;
20           const 'answer' => 42;
21

DESCRIPTION

23       Class::Field exports two subroutines, "field" and "const". These
24       functions are used to declare fields and constants in your class.
25
26       Class::Field generates custom code for each accessor that is optimized
27       for speed.

FUNCTIONS

30       "field"
31           Defines accessor methods for a field of your class:
32
33               package Example;
34               use base 'Parent';
35               use Class::Field qw'field const';
36
37               field 'foo';
38               field bar => [];
39
40               sub lalala {
41                   my $self = shift;
42                   $self->foo(42);
43                   push @{$self->{bar}}, $self->foo;
44               }
45
46           The first parameter passed to "field" is the name of the attribute
47           being defined. Accessors can be given an optional default value.
48           This value will be returned if no value for the field has been set
49           in the object.
50
51       "const"
52               const bar => 42;
53
54           The "const" function is similar to <field> except that it is
55           immutable.  It also does not store data in the object. You probably
56           always want to give a "const" a default value, otherwise the
57           generated method will be somewhat useless.
58

NOTE

60       This code was taken directly out the Spiffy module for those people who
61       just want this functionality without using the rest of Spiffy.
