NAME

Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor::Overrideable - The default accessor type

VERSION

This document describes Class::Dot version 2.0.0_15

SYNOPSIS

See Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor for usage information.

DESCRIPTION

These are the default accessors when no -accessor_type option is set. They are called Overrideable because they are easily overrided when the -override option is set.

To override a semi-affordance attribute just do this:

     use Class::Dot2 qw(-override);
 
     property name => (isa => 'Str', default => 'George Louis Constanza');
 
     sub name {
         my ($self) = @_;
 
         my $name   = $self->__getattr__('name');
         carp "Someone requested the name of: $name ($self)";
 
         return $name;
     }
 
     sub set_name {
         my ($self, $new_name) = @_;
 
         my $name = $self->__getattr__('name');
         carp "Someone changed $name's name to $new_name ($self)";
         $self->__setattr__('name', $new_name);
 
         return;
     }

If you define your property in a BEGIN, INIT or CHECK block, however, you have to do it a bit differently:

     BEGIN {
         use Class::Dot2 qw(-override);
         property name => (isa => 'Str', default => 'George Louis Constanza');
 
         after_property_get name => sub {
             my ($self) = @_;
 
             my $name   = $self->__getattr__('name');
             carp "Someone requested the name of: $name ($self)";
 
             return $name;
         }; # << NOTE: the semicolon is required
 
         after_property_set set_name => {
             my ($self, $new_name) = @_;
 
             my $name = $self->__getattr__('name');
             carp "Someone changed $name's name to $new_name ($self)";
             $self->__setattr__('name', $new_name);
 
             return;
         }; # << NOTE: the semicolon is required

DIAGNOSTICS

You tried to set a value with %s(). Did you mean %s() ?

You tried to set a value via an accessor that is a get accessor, not a mutator. You should probably follow the error message advice.

Can't set value with %s(). It's read only!

The attribute you tried to set is readonly and can't be set like this, if you feel otherwise, declare it as public, or set the value via $self->__setattr__($attribute_name, $value).

Can only set value with %s(), it's write only!

You tried to get the value from a writeonly attribute. If you feel the attribute shouldn't be writeonly you should declare it as public, or you can get the value via $self->__getattr__($attribute_name).
