NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::Flyweight - Deprecated name for InsideOut

SYNOPSIS

	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::InsideOut (
	   new		   => [ 'new' ]
	   scalar	   => [ 'foo', 'bar' ]
	 );

	 package main;

	 my $obj = MyObject->new( foo => "Foozle", bar => "Bozzle" );
	 print $obj->foo();	       # Prints Foozle
	 $obj->bar("Bamboozle");       # Sets $obj->{bar}

DESCRIPTION

       Earlier versions of this package included a package named Class::MakeMethods::Template::Flyweight.

       However, in hindsight, this name was poorly chosen, as it suggests that the Flyweight object design pattern is being used, when the
       functionality is more akin to what's sometimes known as "inside-out objects."

       This functionality is now provided by Class::MakeMethods::Template::InsideOut, of which this is an almost-empty subclass retained to
       provide backwards compatibility.

SEE ALSO

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::InsideOut.

NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::Inheritable - Overridable data

SYNOPSIS

	 package MyClass;

	 use Class::MakeMethods( 'Template::Inheritable:scalar' => 'foo' );
	 # We now have an accessor method for an "inheritable" scalar value

	 MyClass->foo( 'Foozle' );   # Set a class-wide value
	 print MyClass->foo();	     # Retrieve class-wide value

	 my $obj = MyClass->new(...);
	 print $obj->foo();	     # All instances "inherit" that value...

	 $obj->foo( 'Foible' );      # until you set a value for an instance.
	 print $obj->foo();	     # This now finds object-specific value.
	 ...

	 package MySubClass;
	 @ISA = 'MyClass';

	 print MySubClass->foo();    # Intially same as superclass,
	 MySubClass->foo('Foobar');  # but overridable per subclass,
	 print $subclass_obj->foo(); # and shared by its instances
	 $subclass_obj->foo('Fosil');# until you override them...
	 ...

DESCRIPTION

       The MakeMethods subclass provides accessor methods that search an inheritance tree to find a value. This allows you to set a shared or
       default value for a given class, and optionally override it in a subclass.

   Standard Methods
       The following methods from Generic should be supported:

	 scalar
	 string
	 string_index (?)
	 number
	 boolean (?)
	 bits (?)
	 array (?)
	 hash (?)
	 tiedhash (?)
	 hash_of_arrays (?)
	 object (?)
	 instance (?)
	 array_of_objects (?)
	 code (?)
	 code_or_scalar (?)

       See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for the interfaces and behaviors of these method types.

       The items marked with a * above are specifically defined in this package, whereas the others are formed automatically by the interaction of
       this package's generic settings with the code templates provided by the Generic superclass.

       The items marked with a ? above have not been tested sufficiently; please inform the author if they do not function as you would expect.

       See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution.

       See Class::MakeMethods::Template for more about this family of subclasses.

       See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for information about the various accessor interfaces subclassed herein.

       If you just need scalar accessors, see Class::Data::Inheritable for a very elegant and efficient implementation.
