NAME

    Data::Object::Attributes

ABSTRACT

    Attribute Builder for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

      package Example;
    
      use Moo;
    
      use Data::Object::Attributes;
    
      has 'data';
    
      package main;
    
      my $example = Example->new;

DESCRIPTION

    This package provides options for defining class attributes.
    Specifically, this package wraps the has attribute keyword and adds
    shortcuts and enhancements. If no directives are specified, the
    attribute is declared as read-write and optional.

SCENARIOS

    This package supports the following scenarios:

 has-bld

      package Example::HasBld;
    
      use Moo;
      use routines;
    
      use Data::Object::Attributes;
    
      has data => (
        is => 'ro',
        bld => 1
      );
    
      method _build_data() {
    
        return time;
      }
    
      package main;
    
      my $example = Example::HasBld->new;

    This package supports the bld and builder directives, expects a coderef
    and builds the attribute value if it wasn't provided to the
    constructor. See the Moo documentation for more details.

 has-clr

      package Example::HasClr;
    
      use Moo;
    
      use Data::Object::Attributes;
    
      has data => (
        is => 'ro',
        clr => 1
      );
    
      package main;
    
      my $example = Example::HasClr->new(data => time);
    
      # $example->clear_data;

    This package supports the clr and clearer directives expects a coderef
    and generates a clearer method. See the Moo documentation for more
    details.

 has-crc

      package Example::HasCrc;
    
      use Moo;
    
      use Data::Object::Attributes;

        is => 'ro',
        crc => fun($arg){'0'}
      );
    
      package main;
    
      my $example = Example::HasCrc->new(data => time);

    This package supports the crc and coerce directives denotes whether an
    attribute's value should be automatically coerced. See the Moo
    documentation for more details.

      package main;
    
      my $example = Example::HasDef->new;

    This package supports the def and default directives expects a coderef
    and is used to build a default value if one is not provided to the
    constructor. See the Moo documentation for more details.
