=head1 NAME
ClassEncapsulatedAttributes - A set of example metaclasses with class encapsulated attributes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use metaclass 'ClassEncapsulatedAttributes';
Foo->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
accessor => 'Foo_foo',
default => 'init in FOO'
));
sub new {
my $class = shift;
$class->meta->new_object(@_);
}
package Bar;
our @ISA = ('Foo');
# duplicate the attribute name here
Bar->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
accessor => 'Bar_foo',
default => 'init in BAR'
));
# ... later in other code ...
my $bar = Bar->new();
prints $bar->Bar_foo(); # init in BAR
prints $bar->Foo_foo(); # init in FOO
# and ...
my $bar = Bar->new(
'Foo' => { 'foo' => 'Foo::foo' },
'Bar' => { 'foo' => 'Bar::foo' }
);
prints $bar->Bar_foo(); # Foo::foo
prints $bar->Foo_foo(); # Bar::foo
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an example metaclass which encapsulates a class's
attributes on a per-class basis. This means that there is no
possibility of name clashes with inherited attributes. This
is similar to how C++ handles its data members.
=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman for the idea for this example.
