NAME

Build::Hopen::G::Entity - The base class for all hopen nodes and edges

SYNOPSIS

hopen creates and manages a graph of entities: nodes and edges. This class holds common information.

MEMBERS

name

The name of this entity. The name is for human consumption and is not used by hopen to make any decisions. However, node names starting with an underscore are reserved for hopen's internal use.

The name '0' (a single digit zero) is forbidden (since it's falsy).

FUNCTIONS

name

A custom accessor for name. If no name has been stored, return the stringifed version of the entity. That way every entity always has a name.

has_custom_name

Returns truthy if a name has been set using "name".
