✨ Tangence::Meta::Property ✨

okay bestie so this is Tangence::Meta::Property 💅 it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally just a little data-structure object that holds all the deets about one Tangence class property 🎀 and the way that once you've constructed it, it's immutable — like, it's done, it's frozen, no takebacks, periodt 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This data structure object stores information about one Tangence class property. Once constructed, such objects are immutable.

so yeah — one property, one object, all the info, and after that? she's locked in 🔒 no editing, no glow-up, she is what she is 👑

🛠️ CONSTRUCTOR 🛠️

new

$property = Tangence::Meta::Property->new( %args )

Returns a new instance initialised by the given arguments.

here's the tea on the args, you're gonna pass them as a hash %args and every single one of them matters 🍓

  • class => Tangence::Meta::Class — reference to the containing class, i.e. who's her parent, her home base 🏠
  • name => STRING — the name of the property. yes she has a name, use it 💅
  • dimension => INT — dimension of the property, as one of the DIM_* constants from Tangence::Constants 📐
  • type => STRING — the element type as a Tangence::Meta::Type reference 🔥 (yes, it says STRING, that's what the page says, and we do not rewrite the facts in this house)
  • smashed => BOOL — optional bestie! if true, it marks that the property is smashed 💥

👑 ACCESSORS 👑

class

$class = $property->class

Returns the class the property is a member of 🫶

name

$name = $property->name

Returns the name of the class ✨

yes i know it says "name of the class" and you're like wait isn't this the property's name — that's literally what the original says so i'm keeping it fr fr, no notes 💀

dimension

$dimension = $property->dimension

Returns the dimension as one of the DIM_* constants 📏

type

$type = $property->type

Returns the element type as a Tangence::Meta::Type reference 🦋

overall_type

$type = $property->overall_type

Returns the type of the entire collection as a Tangence::Meta::Type reference 🌈 and here's the breakdown because it's lowkey the most interesting one:

  • For scalar types this will be the element type.
  • For dict types this will be a hash of the array type.
  • For array, queue and objset types this will a list of the element type.

(that last sentence is verbatim, "this will a list", we do not fix the typo, we respect the ancestors 🙈)

smashed

$smashed = $property->smashed

Returns true if the property is smashed 💥
