NAME
Object::Pad::SlotAttr::Trigger - invoke an instance method after a
:writer accessor
SYNOPSIS
use Object::Pad;
use Object::Pad::SlotAttr::Trigger;
class Label {
has $title :param :reader :writer :Trigger(redraw);
method redraw {
...
}
}
my $label = Label->new( text => "Something" );
$label->set_label( "New text here" );
# $label->redraw is automatically invoked
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a third-party slot attribute for Object::Pad-based
classes, which declares that a named instance method shall be invoked
after a generated :writer accessor method is called.
WARNING The ability for Object::Pad to take third-party slot attributes
is still new and highly experimental, and subject to much API change in
future. As a result, this module should be considered equally
experimental.
SLOT ATTRIBUTES
:Trigger
has $slot :writer :Trigger(NAME) ...;
Declares that the accessor method generated for the slot by the :writer
attribute will invoke the method named by the :Trigger attribute, after
the new value has been stored into the slot itself. This method is
invoked with no additional arguments, in void context.
Note that this only applies to the generated accessor method. It does
not apply to direct modifications of the slot variable by method code
within the class itself.
