       MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast - Emulate Class::Accessor::Fast behavior using Moose attributes

SYNOPSYS

           package MyClass;
           use Moose;

           with 'MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast';

           #fields with readers and writers
           __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw/field1 field2/);
           #fields with readers only
           __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw/field3 field4/);

DESCRIPTION

       This module attempts to emulate the behavior of Class::Accessor::Fast as accurately as possible using the
       Moose attribute system. The public API of "Class::Accessor::Fast" is wholly supported, but the private
       methods are not.  If you are only using the public methods (as you should) migration should be a matter
       of switching your "use base" line to a "with" line.

       While I have attempted to emulate the behavior of Class::Accessor::Fast as closely as possible bugs may
       still be lurking in edge-cases.

BEHAVIOR

       Simple documentation is provided here for your convenience, but for more thorough documentation please
       see Class::Accessor::Fast and Class::Accessor.

   A note about introspection
       Please note that, at this time, the "is" flag attribute is not being set. To determine the "reader" and
       "writer" methods using introspection in later versions of Class::MOP ( > 0.38) please use the
       "get_read_method" and "get_write_method" methods in Class::MOP::Attribute. Example

           # with Class::MOP <= 0.38
           my $attr = $self->meta->find_attribute_by_name($field_name);
           my $reader_method = $attr->reader || $attr->accessor;
           my $writer_method = $attr->writer || $attr->accessor;

           # with Class::MOP > 0.38
           my $attr = $self->meta->find_attribute_by_name($field_name);
           my $reader_method = $attr->get_read_method;
           my $writer_method = $attr->get_write_method;

METHODS

   BUILD $self %args
       Change the default Moose class building to emulate the behavior of C::A::F and store arguments in the
       instance hashref.

   mk_accessors @field_names
       Create read-write accessors. An attribute named $field_name will be created.  The name of the c<reader>
       and "writer" methods will be determined by the return value of "accessor_name_for" and
       "mutator_name_for", which by default return the name passed unchanged. If the accessor and mutator names
       are equal the "accessor" attribute will be passes to Moose, otherwise the "reader" and "writer"
       attributes will be passed. Please see Class::MOP::Attribute for more information.

   mk_ro_accessors @field_names
       Create read-only accessors.

   mk_ro_accessors @field_names
       Create write-only accessors.

   follow_best_practices
       Preface readers with 'get_' and writers with 'set_'.  See original Class::Accessor documentation for more
       information.

   mutator_name_for
   accessor_name_for
       See original Class::Accessor documentation for more information.

   set
       See original Class::Accessor documentation for more information.

   get
       See original Class::Accessor documentation for more information.

   meta
