Update Property When Loading
Suppose that you modify a class so that a property value changes in its form or type.
Previously saved objects of the class must be updated when loaded to have a conforming
property value.
Consider a class that has an AccountID property. Suppose that all account numbers must
migrate from eight-digit numeric values to 12-element character arrays.
You can accommodate this change by implementing a loadobj method.
The loadobj method:
- Tests to determine if the load function passed a struct or object. All loadobj
methods must handle both struct and object when there is an error in load. - Tests to determine if the AccountID number contains eight digits. If so, change it to a
12-element character array by calling the paddAccID method.
After updating the AccountID property, loadobj returns a MyAccount object that
MATLAB loads into the workspace.
