DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns - Implicit uuid columns
In your DBIx::Class table class:
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/UUIDColumns ... Core/); __PACKAGE__->uuid_columns('artist_id');
Note: The component needs to be loaded before Core.
This DBIx::Class component resembles the behaviour of Class::DBI::UUID, to make some columns implicitly created as uuid.
When loaded, UUIDColumns will search for a suitable uuid generation module from the following list of supported modules:
UUIDColumns
Data::UUID APR::UUID* UUID Win32::Guidgen Win32API::GUID
If no supporting module can be found, an exception will be thrown.
*APR::UUID will not be loaded under OpenBSD due to an as yet unidentified XS issue.
If you would like to use a specific module, you can set "uuid_class":
__PACKAGE__->uuid_class('::Data::UUID'); __PACKAGE__->uuid_class('MyUUIDGenerator');
Returns a uuid string from the current uuid_maker.
Inserts a new uuid string into each column in "uuid_columns".
Gets/sets the list of columns to be filled with uuids during insert.
__PACKAGE__->uuid_columns('artist_id');
Takes the name of a UUIDMaker subclass to be used for uuid value generation. This can be a fully qualified class name, or a shortcut name starting with :: that matches one of the available DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns::UUIDMaker subclasses:
__PACKAGE__->uuid_class('CustomUUIDGenerator'); # loads CustomeUUIDGenerator __PACKAGE__->uuid_class('::Data::UUID'); # loads DBIx::Class::UUIDMaker::Data::UUID;
Note that uuid_class checks to see that the specified class isa DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns::UUIDMaker subclass and throws and exception if it isn't.
uuid_class
Returns the current UUIDMaker instance for the given module.
my $uuid = __PACKAGE__->uuid_maker->as_string;
