FlatFile::DataStore::Record - Perl module that implements a flat file data store record class.
# first, create a preamble object use FlatFile::DataStore::Preamble; my $preamble = FlatFile::DataStore::Preamble->new( { datastore => $ds, # FlatFile::DataStore object indicator => $indicator, # single-character crud flag transind => $transind, # single-character crud flag date => $date, # pre-formatted date transnum => $transint, # transaction number (integer) keynum => $keynum, # record sequence number (integer) reclen => $reclen, # record length (integer) thisfnum => $fnum, # file number (in base format) thisseek => $datapos, # seek position (integer) prevfnum => $prevfnum, # ditto these ... prevseek => $prevseek, nextfnum => $nextfnum, nextseek => $nextseek, user => $user_data, # pre-formatted user-defined data } ); # then create a record object with the preamble contained in it use FlatFile::DataStore::Record; my $record = FlatFile::DataStore::Record->new( { preamble => $preamble, # i.e., a preamble object data => "This is a test record.", # actual record data } );
FlatFile::DataStore::Record is a Perl module that implements a flat file data store record class. This class defines objects used by FlatFile::DataStore. You will likely not ever call new() yourself, (FlatFile::DataStore::create() would, e.g., do that) but you will likely call the accessors.
FlatFile::DataStore::Record version 0.15
Constructs a new FlatFile::DataStore::Record object.
The parm $parms is a hash reference containing key/value pairs to populate the record string. Two keys are recognized:
$parms
- preamble, i.e., a FlatFile::DataStore::Preamble object - data, the actual record data
The record data is stored in the object as a scalar reference.
The following read/write methods set and return their respective attribute values if $value is given. Otherwise, they just return the value.
$value
$record->data( $value ); # actual record data as a scalar ref $record->preamble( $value ); # FlatFile::DataStore::Preamble object
The following read-only methods just return their respective values. The values all come from the record's contained preamble object.
$record->user() $record->preamble_string() # the 'string' attr of the preamble $record->indicator() $record->transind() $record->date() $record->transnum() $record->keynum() $record->reclen() $record->thisfnum() $record->thisseek() $record->prevfnum() $record->prevseek() $record->nextfnum() $record->nextseek() $record->is_created() $record->is_updated() $record->is_deleted()
