Create a subclass that allows accessing and modifying attributes of an object in a codebase.
If you're searching for a powerful Perl module to help you generate an accessor subclass, then let me introduce you to dtRdr::Accessor. With this library, you can create getter and setter methods with different levels of access (read-only or read-write) for any class. The SYNOPSIS section shows you how easy it is to get started. You only need to specify the target package and the access level for each attribute.
One of the main functions in dtRdr::Accessor is _create_package. This method creates a package and returns a reference to it. It also pushes the newly-created package into the caller's @ISA. If a package with the same name already exists, dtRdr::Accessor will return a cached value instead of creating a new one.
Another useful function, _mk_alias_get, creates an alias for a getter method that matches its corresponding attribute name. This operation helps you get the attribute value in a more readable and straightforward way.
The module provides three different access levels. You can create a read-only attribute by calling the ro method and passing a list with the attribute names as arguments. You can create read-write attributes with the rw method, which works similarly to the ro method. Lastly, you can create an attribute that is read-only within the class but writable outside it by using the ro_w method.
If you need to create attributes that are accessible from the class level instead of the instance level, use class_ro, class_rw, and class_ro_w. The last method creates a getter and setter for an attribute and hands you a reference to the setter instead of installing it automatically.
Finally, dtRdr::Accessor offers the _mk_class_accessors method to create class-level accessors in bulk. You only need to specify the name of the package, access type (read-only or read-write), and the attributes you want to create.
Overall, dtRdr::Accessor is a reliable Perl module that simplifies the creation of accessor subclasses by providing all the necessary functions and utilities. If you're working on a large project and want to make sure your code is as clean and readable as possible, this library is a valuable asset to add to your toolset.
