NAME DBIx::Class::MooseColumns - Lets you write DBIC add_column() definitions as attribute options VERSION Version 0.18 SYNOPSIS package MyApp::Schema::Result::Artist; use Moose; use DBIx::Class::MooseColumns; use namespace::autoclean; extends 'DBIx::Class::Core'; __PACKAGE__->table('artist'); has id => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw', add_column => { is_auto_increment => 1, }, ); has foo => ( isa => 'Str', is => 'rw', add_column => { data_type => 'datetime' }, ); has bar => ( # will call __PACKAGE__->add_column({}) isa => 'Str', is => 'rw', add_column => { }, ); has quux => ( # no __PACKAGE__->add_column() call isa => 'Str', is => 'rw', ); __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id'); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable( inline_constructor => 0 ); 1; DISCLAIMER This is ALPHA SOFTWARE. Use at your own risk. Features may change. DESCRIPTION This module allows you to put the arguments to "add_column" in DBIx::Class::ResultSource right into your attribute definitions and will automatically call it when it finds an "add_column" attribute option. It also replaces the DBIx::Class-generated accessor methods (these are Class::Accessor::Grouped-generated accessor methods under the hood) with the Moose-generated accessor methods so that you can use more of the wonderful powers of Moose (eg. type constraints, triggers, ...). *Note:* "__PACKAGE__->table(...)" must go before the "has" stanzas (the "table" in DBIx::Class::ResultSource is magic and does much more than setting the table name, thus the "__PACKAGE__->add_column(...)" calls that the "has" triggers won't work before that). *Note:* "__PACKAGE__->set_primary_key(...)" and "__PACKAGE__->add_unique_constraint(...)" calls must go after the "has" stanzas (since they depend on the referred columns being registered via "__PACKAGE__->add_column(...)" and that call is done when the "has" runs).
