NAME

MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor - Name your accessors foo() and set_foo()

VERSION

version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

use Moose;
use MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor;

# make some attributes

DESCRIPTION

This module does not provide any methods. Simply loading it changes the default naming policy for the loading class so that accessors are separated into get and set methods. The get methods have the same name as the accessor, while set methods are prefixed with "set_".

If you define an attribute with a leading underscore, then the set method will start with "_set_".

If you explicitly set a "reader" or "writer" name when creating an attribute, then that attribute's naming scheme is left unchanged.

The name "semi-affordance" comes from David Wheeler's Class::Meta module.

ACCESSORS IN ROLES

Prior to version 1.9900 of Moose, attributes added to a class ended up with that class's attribute traits. That means that if your class used MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor, any attributes provided by roles you consumed had the semi-affordance style of accessor.

As of Moose 1.9900, that is no longer the case. Attributes provided by roles no longer acquire the consuming class's attribute traits. However, with Moose 1.9900+, you can now use MooseX::SemiAffordanceAccessor directly in roles. Attributes defined by that role will have semi-affordance style accessors, regardless of what attribute traits the consuming class has.
