NAME

       "Object::Pad::FieldAttr::Trigger" - invoke an instance method after a ":writer" accessor

SYNOPSIS

          use Object::Pad;
          use Object::Pad::FieldAttr::Trigger;

          class Label {
             field $title :param :reader :writer :Trigger(redraw);

             method redraw {
                ...
             }
          }

          my $label = Label->new( text => "Something" );

          $label->set_label( "New text here" );
          # $label->redraw is automatically invoked

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a third-party field attribute for Object::Pad-based classes, which declares that a
       named instance method shall be invoked after a generated ":writer" accessor method is called.

       WARNING The ability for Object::Pad to take third-party field attributes is still new and highly
       experimental, and subject to much API change in future. As a result, this module should be considered
       equally experimental.

FIELD ATTRIBUTES

   :Trigger
          field $name :writer :Trigger(NAME) ...;

       Declares that the accessor method generated for the field by the ":writer" attribute will invoke the
       method named by the ":Trigger" attribute, after the new value has been stored into the field itself. This
       method is invoked with no additional arguments, in void context.

       Note that this only applies to the generated accessor method. It does not apply to direct modifications
       of the field variable by method code within the class itself.
