NAME

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

VERSION

       version 2.2009

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

               This is the "Class::MOP::Attribute" for which accessors are being generated. This
               option is required.

           •   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.

           •   name

               The method name (without a package name). This is required.

           •   package_name

               The package name for the method. This is required.

       $metamethod->accessor_type
           Returns the accessor type which was passed to "new".

       $metamethod->is_inline
           Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the accessor is inlined.

       $metamethod->associated_attribute
           This returns the Class::MOP::Attribute object which was passed to "new".

       $metamethod->body
           The method itself is generated when the accessor object is constructed.
