✨ NAME ✨

HTML::Widget::Accessor — Accessor Class 💅

so bestie, this is the page for HTML::Widget::Accessor(3pm), and yeah it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your man pages. let's go 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use base 'HTML::Widget::Accessor';

that's it. that's the whole vibe. inherit and you're in 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Accessor Class.

(iconic of it to say so little, honestly. it's giving mysterious. but fr fr, that's what it is: an accessor class. the methods below are where the actual business happens 💖)

---

💜 METHODS 💜

🌈 attributes

🌈 attrs

okay so these two are the same method, attrs is just the cute nickname. here's the full tea:

• Arguments: %attributes
• Arguments: \%attributes
• Return Value: $self
• Arguments: none
• Return Value: \%attributes

so it Accepts either a list of key/value pairs, or a hash-ref. either one, dealer's choice:

$w->attributes( $key => $value );
$w->attributes( { $key => $value } );

and when you pass stuff in, it Returns the object reference, to allow method chaining. so you can just keep stacking calls, no cap 🫶

⚠️ As of v1.10, passing a hash-ref no longer deletes current attributes, instead the attributes are added to the current attributes hash.

this part is important, so listen up bestie 😭 This means the attributes hash-ref can no longer be emptied using $w->attributes( { } );. Instead, you may use %{ $w->attributes } = ();. (not me learning this the hard way, ngl)

and here's the little plot twist: As a special case, if no arguments are passed, the return value is a hash-ref of attributes instead of the object reference. why? This provides backwards compatibility to support:

$w->attributes->{key} = $value;

attrs is an alias for attributes. periodt. same method, shorter name, both slay ✨
