DESCRIPTION

This module helps you to make factory method for inserting data into database. You can use this as fixture replacement.

METHODS

$class->new(%args)

Create a new DBIx::DataFactory object.

    # set up by username, password, and dsn
    my $factory_maker = DBIx::DataFactory->new({
        username => 'nobody',
        password => 'nobody',
        dsn      => 'dbi:mysql:dbname=test_factory;host=localhost',
    });

    # or set up by db handler
    my $dbh = DBI->connect(
        'dbi:mysql:dbname=test_factory;host=localhost',
        'nobody',
        'nobody',
    );
    my $factory_maker = DBIx::DataFactory->new({
        dbh => $dbh,
    });

Set up initial state by following parameters.

• username

  Database username.

• password

  Database password

• dsn

  Database dsn

• dbh

  Database handler

$self->create_factory_method(%args)

This installs the method, which helps inserting data into database, in the DBIx::DataFactory package by default.

    $factory_maker->create_factory_method(
        method   => 'create_factory_data',
        table    => 'test_factory',
        auto_inserted_columns => {
            int => {
                type => 'Int',
                size => 8,
            },
            string => {
                type => 'Str',
                size => 10,
            },
        },
    );

if this is the case, this make the method named 'create_factory_data'. you can pass all columns value you defined in schema.

    my $values = $factory_maker->create_factory_data(
        int    => 5,
        string => 'string',
        text   => 'test text',
    );

    # this makes following data.
    +----+-----+--------+-----------+
    | id | int | string | text      |
    +----+-----+--------+-----------+
    |  1 |  5  | string | test text |
    +----+-----+--------+-----------+


    my $values = $factory_maker->create_factory_data;

    # this makes following data
    +----+----------+------------+------+
    | id | int      | string     | text |
    +----+----------+------------+------+
    |  2 | 59483011 | 9svzODgYyz | NULL |
    +----+----------+------------+------+

Parameters

• method

  Required parameter. method name you want to create.

• table

  Required parameter. database table name.

• dsn

  optional parameter. database dsn.

• username

  optional parameter. database username.

• password

  optional parameter. database password.

• auto_inserted_columns

  optional parameter. if you have the table column which you want to insert data into automatically by default, you can specify this parameter.

  for example, if you have columns named 'int', 'string', and 'text', you can specify following.

      $factory_maker->create_factory_method(
          method   => 'create_factory_data',
          table    => 'test_factory',
          auto_inserted_columns => {
              int => {
                  type => 'Int',
                  size => 8,
              },
              string => {
                  type => 'Str',
                  size => 10,
              },
              text => sub { String::Random->new->randregex('[a-z]{50}') }
          },
      );

  if passed hashref, the method inserts data which is defined in specified type class automatically by default. see also DBIx::DataFactory::Type.

  if passed coderef, the method inserts value which the code returns.

  Of cource, if you specify column value in installed method, the setting for the column is not used.

• install_package

  optional parameter. if you want to install the factory method to package except DBIx::DataFactory, please specify.

      $factory_maker->create_factory_method(
          method          => 'create_factory_data',
          table           => 'test_factory',
          install_package => 'test::DBIx::DataFactory',
      );

• creator

  optional parameter. if you want to use original method for creating data, please specify coderef.

  DBIx::DataFactory passes values for inserting to code. the method created by create_factory_method returns values which passed coderef returns.

  this is probably useful when you use ORM and set up trigger, or when you want to use blessed value as return value.

  For example,

      $factory_maker->create_factory_method(
          method          => 'create_factory_data',
          table           => 'test_factory',
          creator => sub {
              my ($values) = @_;
  
              my $db = DBIx::Simple->connect(
                  'dbi:mysql:test_factory', 'root', '',
              ); # your setting
              $db->abstract = SQL::Abstract->new;
  
              my $result = $db->insert('test_factory', $values);
              return $result;  # this is used for return value of create_factory_data
          },
      );

add_type

you can add type class which define the rule of inserting data. See also DBIx::DataFactory::Type.

    DBIx::DataFactory->add_type('DBIx::DataFactory::Type::Test');
