Mock::...ontrol(3pm)

💖 Mock::Quick::Object::Control(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Mock::Quick::Object::Control — like, the control half of the Mock::Quick::Object situation. It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, and yes, the title really is abbreviated with dots like Mock::...ontrol(3pm) because manpage headers are dramatic like that. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Mock::Quick::Object::Control — the whole vibe is: you control a mocked object after it's already been created. that's it, that's the job. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Control a mocked object after creation. fr fr, that's the entire description. it's giving "short and iconic." 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the tea, copied exactly so you don't break anything:

my $obj = Mock::Quick::Object->new( ... );
my $control = Mock::Quick::Object::Control->new( $obj );

$control->set_methods( foo => sub { 'foo' });
$control->set_attributes( bar => 'baz' );

# Make an attribute exist so that it can be used for get/set operations.
$control->set_attributes( empty => undef );

see that last bit? setting an attribute to undef is how you make it exist so it can actually be used for get/set operations. not me learning that the hard way 😭

---

💜 METHODS 💜

okay so here's every single one, no skips, no cap:

• $control = $CLASS->new( $obj ) — the constructor, bestie. hand it your $obj and it hands you back a $control. 🫶
• $control->set_methods( name => sub { ... }, ... ) — Set/Create methods. you pass name-and-coderef pairs and boom, methods exist now. ⭐
• $control->set_attributes( name => $val, ... ) — Set/Create attributes (simple get/set accessors). the most basic accessor energy, and honestly? we love her. 🎀
• $control->clear( $name1, $name2, ... ) — Remove attributes/methods. yeet them by name. 🧚
• $control->strict( $BOOL ) — Enable/Disable strict mode. you pass a $BOOL, so 1/0 vibes, and strict mode turns on or off accordingly. 🔥
• $data = $control->metrics() — Returns a hash where keys are method names, and values are the number of times the method has been called. When a method is altered or removed the key is deleted. so it's like a little call counter for your mocks, and if you touch the method the count just disappears. main character behavior honestly 💀
