-====== Mixin Accessors & Invokers ====== +====== Accessor Mixins ====== 
-Mixin accessors and invokers allow you to access fields or invoke methods that are not visible (private) or final.+FIXME //This page is under revison. This page may change suddenly and should be taken with a grain of salt.// 
 + 
 +**Accessor Mixins** are special mixins defined as interfaces which must **only** contain ''@Accessor'' and ''@Invoker'' handlers. Unlike normal mixins however, **Accessor Mixins** are accessible via user code directly. 
 + 
 +The ''@Accessor'' and ''@Invoker'' annotations allow you to access fields or invoke methods that are not visible (private) or mutable (final). 
 + 
 +Unlike typical injectors, accessors do not prefix the merged methods with the modid of the mod that contains them. Additionally as the **Accessor Mixins** are used in user code, the names of the handlers are not mangled, these differences are important to keep in mind when writing **Accessor Mixins** for compatibility and debugging purposes. 
 + 
 +''@Accessor''s and ''@Invoker''s can infer the field/method name if they are called ''getFieldName'' / ''call/invokeMethodName'', omitting the requirement for the ''value'' attribute to be specified, however, all handlers should be prefixed as so: ''modid$getFieldName'' instead. This is because when the **Accessor Mixin** is merged the handler will remain unchanged and if there is a problem related to the handler, it's useful to know who owns it. Additionally, if another mod decides to create a Duck interface with a method called ''getFieldName'', when that is merged alongside your **Accessor Mixin** whichever one applies last will overwrite the other and you end up with a conflict that may crash or cause unintended behaviour.
