The simplest case is to pass an arrayref, which returns an object capable of having any one of the given values or of being unset. The more complex cases involve passing a hashref, which may have the following keys: =over =item * unset whether this object can be 'unset' (defaults to true) =item * default this object's default value is (defaults to undef) =item * values an arrayref, listing the object's possible values (at least one required) =back =cut my $id = 0; sub _generate_class { my $class = shift; no strict 'refs'; my $gen = sprintf "%s::obj_%08d", $class, ++$id; push @{$gen."::ISA"}, $class; return $gen; } sub _mk_values { my $class = shift; for my $value (keys %{ $class->_values }) { Sub::Install::install_sub({ into => $class, as => "set_$value", code => sub { $_[0]->value($value); return $_[0] }, }); Sub::Install::install_sub({ into => $class, as => "is_$value", code => sub { (shift->value || '') eq $value }, }); } } sub new { my ($class, $arg) = @_; $arg ||= []; if (ref $arg eq 'ARRAY') { $arg = { values => $arg }; } unless (@{$arg->{values} || []}) { Carp::croak("at least one possible value must be provided"); } exists $arg->{unset} or $arg->{unset} = 1; exists $arg->{default} or $arg->{default} = undef; if (!$arg->{unset} && !defined $arg->{default}) { Carp::croak("must supply a defined default for 'unset' to be false"); } if (defined($arg->{default}) && ! grep { $_ eq $arg->{default} } @{$arg->{values}}) { Carp::croak("default value must be listed in 'values' or undef"); } my $gen = $class->_generate_class; $gen->_unset($arg->{unset}); $gen->_default($arg->{default}); $gen->_values({ map { $_ => 1 } @{$arg->{values}} }); $gen->_mk_values; return $gen->spawn; } sub _stringify { my $self = shift; return '(undef)' unless defined $self->value; return $self->value; } =head1 OBJECT METHODS =head2 spawn my $new = $obj->spawn; Create a new Enum from an existing object, using the same arguments as were originally passed to C<< new >> when that object was created. =cut sub spawn { my $class = shift; return bless { value => $class->_default, } => $class; } =head2 value The current value as a string (or undef) =cut sub value { my $self = shift; if (@_) { my $val = shift; unless ($self->_values->{$val}) { Carp::croak("object $self cannot be set to '$val'"); } return $self->_value_accessor($val); } return $self->_value_accessor; } =head2 values The possible values for this object =cut sub values { my $self = shift; return keys %{ $self->_values }; } =head2 unset Unset the object's value (set to undef) =cut sub unset { my $self = shift; if (@_ && !$self->_unset) { Carp::croak("object $self cannot be unset"); } $self->value(undef); } =head2 is_* =head2 set_* Automatically generated from the values passed into C<< new >>. None of these methods take any arguments. The C<< set_* >> methods are chainable; that is, they return the object on which they were called. This lets you do useful things like: use Object::Enum Enum => { -as => 'color', values => [qw(red blue)] }; print color->set_red->value; # prints 'red' =cut =head1 AUTHOR Hans Dieter Pearcey, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
