NAME

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::Object::Enum - Allows a DBIx::Class user to define a Object::Enum column

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

Load this module via load_components and utilize is_enum and values property to define Enumuration columns via Object::Enum

    package TableClass;
    
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use base 'DBIx::Class';
    
    __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::Object::Enum Core/);
    __PACKAGE__->table('testtable');
    __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
        color => {
            data_type => 'varchar',
            is_enum => 1,
            extra => {
                list => [qw/red green blue/]
            }
        }
        color_native => { # works inline with native enum type
            data_type => 'enum',
            is_enum => 1,
            extra => {
                list => [qw/red green blue/]
            }
        }
    );
    
    1;
    

Now you may treat the column as an Object::Enum object.

    my $table_rs = $db->resultset('TableClass')->create({
        color => undef
    });
    
    $table_rs->color->set_red; # sets color to red
    $table_rs->color->is_red; # would return true
    $table_rs->color->is_green; # would return false
    print $table_rs->color->value; # would print 'red'
    $table_rs->color->unset; # set the value to 'undef' or 'null'
    $table_rs->color->is_red; # returns false now
    

METHODS
