NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Attribute - Declare generated subs with attribute syntax

SYNOPSIS

         package MyObject;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Attribute 'Standard::Hash';

         sub new    :MakeMethod('new');
         sub foo    :MakeMethod('scalar');
         sub bar    :MakeMethod('scalar', { hashkey => 'bar_data' });
         sub debug  :MakeMethod('Standard::Global:scalar');

DESCRIPTION

       This package allows common types of methods to be generated via a subroutine attribute
       declaration. (Available in Perl 5.6 and later.)

       Adding the :MakeMethod() attribute to a subroutine declaration causes Class::MakeMethods
       to create and install a subroutine based on the parameters given to the :MakeMethod
       attribute.

       You can declare a default method-generation class by passing the name of a MakeMethods
       subclass in the use Class::MakeMethods::Attribute statement. This default method-
       generation class will also apply as the default to any subclasses declared at compile
       time. If no default method-generation class is selected, you will need to fully-qualify
       all method type declarations.

EXAMPLE

       Here's a typical use of Class::MakeMethods::Attribute:

         package MyObject;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Attribute 'Standard::Hash';

         sub new    :MakeMethod('new');
         sub foo    :MakeMethod('scalar');
         sub bar    :MakeMethod('scalar', { hashkey => 'bar_data' });
         sub debug  :MakeMethod('Standard::Global:scalar');

         package MySubclass;
         use base 'MyObject';

         sub bazzle :MakeMethod('scalar');

       This is equivalent to the following explicit Class::MakeMethods invocations:

         package MyObject;

         use Class::MakeMethods (
           -MakerClass => 'Standard::Hash',
           new => 'new',
           scalar => 'foo',
           scalar => [ 'ba', { hashkey => 'bar_data' } ],
           'Standard::Global:scalar' => 'debug',
         );

         package MySubclass;
         use base 'MyObject';

         use Class::MakeMethods (
           -MakerClass => 'Standard::Hash',
           scalar => 'bazzle',
         );

DIAGNOSTICS

       The following warnings and errors may be produced when using Class::MakeMethods::Attribute
       to generate methods. (Note that this list does not include run-time messages produced by
       calling the generated methods, or the standard messages produced by Class::MakeMethods.)

       Can't apply MakeMethod attribute to %s declaration.
           You can not use the ":MakeMethod" attribute with lexical or anonymous subroutine
           declarations.

       No method type provided for MakeMethod attribute.
           You called ":MakeMethod()" without the required method-type argument.
