Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapping - Abstract parent class for objects that map a single column in a single row from the source database to the target database.
use Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapping; # ... Later, when building $mappings hashref for use by a # Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapper (which see for synopsis -- # in this example, assume an appropriate @source_keys): foreach my $source_key (@source_keys) { $mappings{$source_key} = new Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapping; } # ... Now we can assign $mappings to our Mapper ...
Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapping objects are used by Class::DBI::DataMigration::Mapper objects to retrieve the values for particular keys into source database objects; these will in turn be stored under particular keys into newly-created target database objects.
Expects two parameters: the key into the source object, and the source object itself.
The default map() implementation simply uses the source key as a method call on the source object and returns the value thus retrieved.
Subclasses may do something fancier.
