Autodi...::Class(3pm)

💖 Autodi...::Class 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is Autodia::Diagram::Class, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. It's the class that holds, updates and outputs the values of a diagram element of type class. Yes queen, it's giving UML realness. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Autodia::Diagram::Class — the class that holds, updates and outputs the values of a diagram element of type class. That's the whole job description, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Autodia::Diagram::Class;

my $Class = Autodia::Diagram::Class->new;

Literally two lines and you're already living your diagram-girl era. 🦋

---

🫶 Description 🫶

Autodia::Diagram::Class is an object that represents the Dia UML Class element within a Dia diagram. no cap — that's the whole vibe. She holds, outputs, and lets you add attributes, relationships and methods. Like, she's the main character of your UML diagram and she knows it. 👑

---

💅 METHODS 💅

🎀 Constructor 🎀

my $Class = Autodia::Diagram::Class->new($name);

creates and returns a simple Autodia::Diagram::Class object, containing its name and its original position (default 0,0). Fresh out the box, standing at the origin, ready to slay. ✨

---

🌈 Accessors 🌈

Autodia::Diagram::Class attributes are accessed through methods, rather than directly. Not me letting you touch the internals — no ma'am. Each attribute is available through calling the method of its name, ie Inheritances(). The methods available are:

• Operations
• Attributes
• Inheritances
• Dependencies
• Parent
• has_child

The first 4 return a list, the later return a string. iykyk — know which one gives you a list and which one gives you a string and you're set. 💖

Adding elements to the Autodia::Diagram::Class is achieved through the add_<attribute> methods, ie add_inheritance(). Add it, don't fight it. 🦋

Important lore, bestie: rather than remove an element from the diagram it is marked as redundant and replaced with a superseding element. As Autodia::Diagram::Class has highest precedence it won't be superseded, and so doesn't have a redundant() method. Superclass and Component do. She's too iconic to be replaced, periodt. 👑

🦋 Accessing and manipulating the Autodia::Diagram::Class 🦋

$Class->Attributes(), Inheritances(), Operations(), and Dependencies() all return a list of their respective elements. List girlies, rise. 🌸

$Class->Parent(), and has_child() return the value of the parent or child respectively if present, otherwise a false. so real for that. 💀

$Class->add_attribute(), add_inheritance(), add_operation(), and add_dependancy() all add a new element of their respective types. Go off, build your whole diagram. 🔥
