NAME

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::ClassTypeEnum - Inflate enum-like columns to your Class::Type::Enum classes

VERSION

version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

  package My::Schema::Result::Toast {
    __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ InflateColumn::ClassTypeEnum Core /);

    # Assuming Toast::Status is one of your enum classes...

    use Toast::Status;  # Ensure it is loaded.

    __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
      status => {
        data_type => 'varchar',
        extra     => {
          enum_class => 'Toast::Status',
        },
      }
    );
  }

DESCRIPTION

Inflate DBIC columns into instances of your Class::Type::Enum classes. The storage data_type doesn't matter here, only whether or not enums should inflate/deflate to symbols (strings) or ordinals (integers).

METHODS

register_column($column, $info)

This method chains with "register_column" in DBIx::Class::Row and checks for two subkeys inside the extra key of the column info:

enum_class

Required to enable column inflation. Specify the complete class name that this column should be inflated to. It should already be loaded and must be a subclass of Class::Type::Enum.

enum_ordinal_storage

If true, the column is inflated from and deflated to ordinal values.
