=head1 NAME

Sub::HandlesVia::Manual::WithCorinna - using Sub::HandlesVia with the C<class> keyword

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use v5.038;
 use experimental 'class';
 
 class Kitchen {
   field $foods :param = [];
   method foods () { return $foods }
   method _set_foods ($new) { $foods = $new }
   use Sub::HandlesVia::Declare [ 'foods', '_set_foods', sub { [] } ],
     Array => (
       all_foods => 'all',
       add_food  => 'push',
       eat_all   => 'reset',
     );
 }
 
 my $kitchen = Kitchen->new;
 $kitchen->add_food( 'apples' );
 $kitchen->add_food( 'carrots' );
 
 say "I have:";
 say "- $_" for $kitchen->all_foods;
 
 say "Now I will eat them all!";
 $kitchen->eat_all;

=head1 MANUAL

Sub::HandlesVia allows you to delegate methods from your class to the
values of your objects' attributes.

Conceptually, it allows you to define C<< $object->push_number($n) >>
to be a shortcut for C<< $object->numbers->push($n) >> except that
C<< $object->numbers >> is an arrayref, so doesn't have methods you
can call on it like C<push>.

Sub::HandlesVia provides support for the Perl 5.38+ C<class> keyword via
L<Sub::HandlesVia::Declare>.

As of the current version, you need to provide a "getter" and "setter"
method to allow Sub::HandlesVia to access the attribute's value. It's
also recommended to provide a coderef that Sub::HandlesVia can use to
"reset" the value.

=head2 Which Methods Can Be Delegated To?

The second parameter ("Array" in the synopsis) indicates which library
of methods should be available. Valid values include
L<Array|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Array>,
L<Blessed|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Blessed>,
L<Bool|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Bool>,
L<Code|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Code>,
L<Counter|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Counter>,
L<Enum|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Enum>,
L<Hash|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Hash>,
L<Number|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Number>,
L<Scalar|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Scalar>, and
L<String|Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::String>.

An arrayref can be provided, though many of the options are conceptually
contradictory.

 use Sub::HandlesVia::Declare 'num', [ 'Number', 'Scalar' ] => (
   ...,
 );
