SYNOPSIS

    use MooseX::EasyAcc;

    has 'name' => (
        is => 'rw',
        isa => 'Str'
    );
    # This creates methods: name, set_name, has_name

    has 'supernumber' => (
        is => 'ro',
        isa => 'Int',
    );
    # This creates methods: supernumber, _set_supernumber, has_supernumber

    has '_superhero_name' => (
        is => 'ro',
        isa => 'Str'
    );

    has 'superpower' => (
        is => 'ro',
        isa => 'Str',
        predicate => 'is_awesome',

    # This creates methods: superpower, _set_supernumber, is_awesome
   
    has 'nemisis' => (
        is => 'rw',
        isa => 'MyApp',
        predicate => 'is_loved',

    # and so on....

DESCRIPTION

Like MooseX::FollowPBP, or MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor this changes the naming convention for accessors.

Attributes are created using SemiAffordance style (attr, set_attr) with the addition of a predicate (prefixed with 'has_'). Unlike MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor, setting 'ro' does not prevent the creation of a writer, only makes it private (by prepending a '_'). Also, explicitly setting an accessor only overwrites this accessor, doesn't cancel the whole scheme.

In the case of an attribute starting with underscore, '_set_' and '_has_' prefix is used.

NOTE ON USAGE IN ROLES

Applying this module to a class will not affect the default attribute traits of roles assigned to the class.

Applying this module to a role will affect all attributes in that role, but not classes that it is applied to.
