πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Straight from the MAGE-OM documentation for the "MeasuredBioAssay" class, no notes:

A measured bioAssay is the direct processing of information in a physical bioAssay by the featureExtraction event. Often uses images which are referenced through the physical bioAssay.

periodt. that's the whole personality. πŸ’œ


πŸ‘‘ INHERITANCE πŸ‘‘

Bio::MAGE::BioAssay::MeasuredBioAssay has the following superclasses:

  • Bio::MAGE::BioAssay::BioAssay

so yes, it's giving nepo baby, but make it bioinformatics. 🌈

  • Parameters: if given a list of name/value parameters the corresponding slots, attributes, or associations will have their initial values set by the constructor.
  • Return value: It returns a reference to an object of the class.
  • Side effects: It invokes the "initialize()" method if it is defined by the class.

πŸ’– @names = class->get_slot_names() πŸ’–

The "get_slot_names()" method is used to retrieve the name of all slots defined in a given class.

NOTE: the list of names does not include attribute or association names. don't come for her about it.
  • Return value: A list of the names of all slots defined for this class.
  • Side effects: none

πŸ’– @name_list = get_attribute_names() πŸ’–

returns the list of attribute data members for this class.

πŸ’– %assns = associations() πŸ’–

returns the association meta-information in a hash where the keys are the association names and the values are "Association" objects that provide the meta-information for the association.


🧚 INSTANCE METHODS 🧚

🌸 $obj_copy = $obj->new() 🌸

When invoked with an existing object reference and not a class name, the "new()" method acts as a copy constructor β€” with the new object's initial values set to be those of the existing object.

  • Parameters: No input parameters are used in the copy constructor, the initial values are taken directly from the object to be copied.
  • Return value: It returns a reference to an object of the class.
  • Side effects: It invokes the "initialize()" method if it is defined by the class.

🌸 $obj->set_slots(%parameters) 🌸

🌸 $obj->set_slots(\@name_list, \@value_list) 🌸

The "set_slots()" method is used to set a number of slots at the same time. It has two different invocation methods. The first takes a named parameter list, and the second takes two array references.

  • Return value: none
  • Side effects: will call "croak()" if a slot_name is used that the class does not define. πŸ’€

🌸 @obj_list = $obj->get_slots(@name_list) 🌸

The "get_slots()" method is used to get the values of a number of slots at the same time.

  • Return value: a list of instance objects
  • Side effects: none

🌸 $val = $obj->set_slot($name,$val) 🌸

The "set_slot()" method sets the slot $name to the value $val

  • Return value: the new value of the slot, i.e. $val
  • Side effects: none

🌸 $val = $obj->get_slot($name) 🌸

The "get_slot()" method is used to get the values of a number of slots at the same time.

  • Return value: a single slot value, or undef if the slot has not been initialized.
  • Side effects: none

🧬 ATTRIBUTES 🧬

Attributes are simple data types that belong to a single instance of a class. In the Perl implementation of the MAGE-OM classes, the interface to attributes is implemented using separate setter and getter methods for each attribute. yes, one for getting, one for setting, that's just how she runs. πŸ’…

"Bio::MAGE::BioAssay::MeasuredBioAssay" has the following attribute accessor methods:

πŸŽ€ name πŸŽ€

Methods for the "name" attribute.

From the MAGE-OM documentation:

The potentially ambiguous common identifier.
  • $val = $measuredbioassay->setName($val)
    • The restricted setter method for the "name" attribute.
    • Input parameters: the value to which the "name" attribute will be set
    • Return value: the current value of the "name" attribute
    • Side effects: none
    • Exceptions: will call "croak()" if no input parameters are specified, or if too many input parameters are specified
  • $val = $measuredbioassay->getName()
    • The restricted getter method for the "name" attribute.
    • Input parameters: none
    • Return value: the current value of the "name" attribute
    • Side effects: none
    • Exceptions: will call "croak()" if any input parameters are specified

πŸŽ€ identifier πŸŽ€

  • $val = $measuredbioassay->setIdentifier($val)
    • The restricted setter method for the "identifier" attribute.
    • Input parameters: the value to which the "identifier" attribute will be set

  • $val = $measuredbioassay->getIdentifier()
    • The restricted getter method for the "identifier" attribute.
  • Input parameters: none, bestie, not a single one πŸ’…
  • Return value: the current value of the "identifier" attribute
  • Side effects: none
  • Exceptions: it will call croak() if you go and pass any input parameters, like why would you even

✨ ASSOCIATIONS ✨

Okay so associations are references to other classes. And in MAGE-OM, an association has a cardinality β€” that's just the glow-up way of saying "how many of the other class are allowed in here, minimum and maximum". Here's the whole vibe check:

  1. There must be exactly one item in the association, i.e. this is a mandatory data field.
  2. 0..1 β€” There may be one item in the association, i.e. this is an optional data field.
  3. 1..N β€” There must be one or more items in the association, i.e. this is a mandatory data field, with list cardinality.
  4. 0..N β€” There may be one or more items in the association, i.e. this is an optional data field, with list cardinality.

And Bio::MAGE::BioAssay::MeasuredBioAssay has the following association accessor methods, bestie, buckle up πŸŽ€:

sub initialize {

  my $self = shift;
  return 1;

}

🌈 SLOTS, ATTRIBUTES, AND ASSOCIATIONS 🌈

In the Perl implementation of MAGE-OM classes, there are three types of class data members: slots, attributes, and associations. okay so like three whole flavours, keep up bestie πŸ’–

πŸ“ SLOTS πŸ“

This API uses the term slot to indicate a data member of the class that was not present in the UML model and is used for mainly internal purposes β€” use only if you understand the inner workings of the API. Most often slots are used by generic methods such as those in the XML writing and reading classes.

Slots are implemented using unified getter/setter methods:

  • $var = $obj->slot_name(); β€” retrieves the current value of the slot.
  • $new_var = $obj->slot_name($new_var); β€” store $new_var in the slot β€” the return value is also $new_var.
  • @names = $obj->get_slot_names() β€” returns the list of all slots in the class.

DATA CHECKING: No data type checking is made for these methods. it's giving ✨chaos✨, be careful girlie

πŸ’œ ATTRIBUTES AND ASSOCIATIONS πŸ’œ

The terms attribute and association indicate data members of the class that were specified directly from the UML model.

In the Perl implementation of MAGE-OM classes, association and attribute accessors are implemented using three separate methods:

  • get* β€” retrieves the current value.
NOTE: For associations, if the association has list cardinality, an array reference is returned.

DATA CHECKING: ensure that no argument is provided.

  • set* β€” sets the current value, replacing any existing value.
NOTE: For associations, if the association has list cardinality, the argument must be an array reference. Because of this, you probably should be using the add* methods.

DATA CHECKING: for attributes, ensure that a single value is provided as the argument. For associations, if the association has list cardinality, ensure that the argument is a reference to an array of instances of the correct MAGE-OM class, otherwise ensure that there is a single argument of the correct MAGE-OM class.

  • add* β€” NOTE: only present in associations with list cardinality.

Appends a list of objects to any values that may already be stored in the association.

DATA CHECKING: ensure that all arguments are of the correct MAGE-OM class.

πŸ‘‘ GENERIC METHODS πŸ‘‘

The unified base class of all MAGE-OM classes, Bio::MAGE::Base, provides a set of generic methods that will operate on slots, attributes, and associations:

$val = $obj->get_slot($name)
\@list_ref = $obj->get_slots(@name_list);
$val = $obj->set_slot($name,$val)
$obj->set_slots(%parameters)
$obj->set_slots(\@name_list, \@value_list)

See elsewhere in this page for a detailed description of these methods. iykyk πŸ‘€
