## NAME

    use Moo;
    with qw(SQL::Translator::Role::Error);
    sub foo {
        ...

## DESCRIPTION

This Moo::Role provides a method for getting and setting error on a class or object.

## METHODS

### $object\_or\_class-\>error(\[$message\])

If called with an argument, sets the error message and returns undef, otherwise returns the message.

As an implementation detail, for compatibility with Class::Base, the message is stored in `"$object->{_ERROR}"` or `$Class::ERROR`, depending on whether the invocant is an object.
