NAME

Class::MOP::Method::Accessor - Method Meta Object for accessors

VERSION

version 2.0603

SYNOPSIS

    use Class::MOP::Method::Accessor;

    my $reader = Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(
        attribute     => $attribute,
        is_inline     => 1,
        accessor_type => 'reader',
    );

    $reader->body->execute($instance); # call the reader method

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Class::MOP::Method which is used by Class::MOP::Attribute to generate accessor code. It handles generation of readers, writers, predicates and clearers. For each type of method, it can either create a subroutine reference, or actually inline code by generating a string and eval'ing it.

METHODS

Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(%options)

This returns a new Class::MOP::Method::Accessor based on the %options provided.

attribute

accessor_type
This is a string which should be one of "reader", "writer", "accessor", "predicate", or "clearer". This is the type of method being generated. This option is required.
is_inline
This indicates whether or not the accessor should be inlined. This defaults to false.
