NAME
Class::Accessor::Grouped - Lets you build groups of accessors

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This class lets you build groups of accessors that will call different
getters and setters.

METHODS
mk_group_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none

Creates a set of accessors in a given group.

$group is the name of the accessor group for the generated accessors;
they will call get_$group($field) on get and set_$group($field, $value)
on set.

If you want to mimic Class::Accessor's mk_accessors $group has to be
'simple' to tell Class::Accessor::Grouped to use its own get_simple and
set_simple methods.

@fieldspec is a list of field/accessor names; if a fieldspec is a scalar
this is used as both field and accessor name, if a listref it is
expected to be of the form [ $accessor, $field ].

mk_group_ro_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none

Creates a set of read only accessors in a given group. Identical to
<L:/mk_group_accessors> but accessors will throw an error if passed a
value rather than setting the value.

mk_group_wo_accessors
Arguments: $group, @fieldspec
Returns: none

Creates a set of write only accessors in a given group. Identical to
<L:/mk_group_accessors> but accessors will throw an error if not passed
a value rather than getting the value.

make_group_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)

Returns a single accessor in a given group; called by mk_group_accessors
for each entry in @fieldspec.

make_group_ro_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)

Returns a single read-only accessor in a given group; called by
mk_group_ro_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec.

make_group_wo_accessor
Arguments: $group, $field
Returns: $sub (\CODE)

Returns a single write-only accessor in a given group; called by
mk_group_wo_accessors for each entry in @fieldspec.

get_simple
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value

Simple getter for hash-based objects which returns the value for the
field name passed as an argument.

set_simple
Arguments: $field, $new_value
Returns: $new_value

Simple setter for hash-based objects which sets and then returns the
value for the field name passed as an argument.

get_inherited
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value

Simple getter for Classes and hash-based objects which returns the value
for the field name passed as an argument. This behaves much like
Class::Data::Accessor where the field can be set in a base class,
inherited and changed in subclasses, and inherited and changed for
object instances.

set_inherited
Arguments: $field, $new_value
Returns: $new_value

Simple setter for Classes and hash-based objects which sets and then
returns the value for the field name passed as an argument. When called
on a hash-based object it will set the appropriate hash key value. When
called on a class, it will set a class level variable.

Note:: This method will die if you try to set an object variable on a
non hash-based object.

get_component_class
Arguments: $field
Returns: $value

Gets the value of the specified component class.

__PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class');

$self->result_class->method();

## same as
$self->get_component_class('result_class')->method();

set_component_class
Arguments: $field, $class
Returns: $new_value

Inherited accessor that automatically loads the specified class before
setting it. This method will die if the specified class could not be
loaded.

__PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('component_class' => 'result_class');
__PACKAGE__->result_class('MyClass');

$self->result_class->method();

get_super_paths
Returns a list of 'parent' or 'super' class names that the current class
inherited from.
