MakeMe...Inherit(3pm)

okay bestie, welcome to the MakeMe...Inherit(3pm) page — it’s a User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Class::MakeMethods::Template::ClassInherit ✨. Buckle up, we’re doing overridable class data 💅.

💖 NAME 💖

Class::MakeMethods::Template::ClassInherit — Overridable class data 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

  package MyClass;

  use Class::MakeMethods( 'Template::ClassInherit:scalar' => 'foo' );
  # We now have an accessor method for an "inheritable" scalar value

  package main;

  MyClass->foo( 'Foozle' );   # Set a class-wide value
  print MyClass->foo();       # Retrieve class-wide value
  ...

  package MySubClass;
  @ISA = 'MyClass';

  print MySubClass->foo();    # Initially same as superclass,
  MySubClass->foo('Foobar');  # but overridable per subclass/

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

The MakeMethods subclass is giving accessor methods that search an inheritance tree to find a value. Translation: you can set a shared or default value for a given class, and optionally override it in a subclass. It’s literally the “family recipe, but you can tweak it in your own kitchen” vibe 👑.

🌈 Standard Methods 🌈

The following methods from Generic should all be supported:

• scalar
• string
• string_index (?)
• number
• boolean
• bits (?)
• array (*)
• hash (*)
• tiedhash (?)
• hash_of_arrays (?)
• object (?)
• instance (?)
• array_of_objects (?)
• code (?)
• code_or_scalar (?)

See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for the interfaces and behaviors of these method types. 💖

The items marked with a * above are specifically defined in this package, whereas the others are formed automatically by the interaction of this package's generic settings with the code templates provided by the Generic superclass. ✨

Heads up bestie: the items marked with a ? above have not been tested sufficiently; please inform the author if they do not function as you would expect. 🙈

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

• See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution. 💜
• See Class::MakeMethods::Template for more about this family of subclasses. 🦋
• See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for information about the various accessor interfaces subclassed herein. 🌸
• If you just need scalar accessors, see Class::Data::Inheritable for a very elegant and efficient implementation. ✨
