NAME

Mixin::ExtraFields::Driver::DBIC - store Mixin::ExtraFields data in a DBIx::Class store

VERSION

version 0.003

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a driver for storing Mixin::ExtraFields data in DBIx::Class storage. You'll need to create a table resultsource for the storage of entires and you'll need to use Mixin::ExtraFields in the class that gets the extras.

So, you might create:

    package My::Schema::ObjectExtra;
    use Mixin::ExtraFields::Driver::DBIC -setup => { table => 'object_extras' };
    1;

...and elsewhere;

    package My::Schema::Object;
    use base 'DBIx::Class';
    ...
    use Mixin::ExtraFields -fields => {
      driver => { class => 'DBIC', rs_moniker => 'ObjectExtra' }
    };

DRIVER ARGS

The following arguments may be provided when defining the driver when setting up Mixin::ExtraFields:

    schema       - the schema for the DBIx::Class storage (see below)
    rs_moniker   - the moniker of the result source for extras
    id_column    - the name of the column that stores object ids
    name_column  - the name of the column that stores extra field names
    value_column - the name of the column that stores extra field values

schema may be an actual DBIx::Class::Schema object or a coderef which, when called on an object, returns a schema. The default value assumes that objects will be DBIx::Class::Row objects, and returns their schema.

SETUP ARGS

When using Mixin::ExtraFields::Driver::DBIC to set up a table result source, the following values may be in the argument to -setup in the import call:

    table        - (required) the name of the table in the storage
    id_column    - the name of the column that stores object ids
    name_column  - the name of the column that stores extra field names
    value_column - the name of the column that stores extra field values
