DESCRIPTION

61       "Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Std" creates methods related to
62       Rose::DB::Object::Std-derived objects.  It inherits from
63       Rose::Object::MakeMethods.  See the Rose::Object::MakeMethods
64       documentation to learn about the interface.  The method types provided
65       by this module are described below.
66
67       All method types defined by this module are designed to work with
68       objects that are subclasses of (or otherwise conform to the interface
69       of) Rose::DB::Object.  In particular, the object is expected to have a
70       "db" method that returns a Rose::DB-derived object.  See the
71       Rose::DB::Object::Std documentation for more details.

METHODS TYPES

74       object_by_id
75           Create a get/set methods for a single Rose::DB::Object::Std-derived
76           object loaded based on a primary key stored in an attribute of the
77           current object.
78
79           Options
80               "class"
81                   The name of the Rose::DB::Object::Std-derived class of the
82                   object to be loaded.  This option is required.
83
84               "hash_key"
85                   The key inside the hash-based object to use for the storage
86                   of the object.  Defaults to the name of the method.
87
88               "id_method"
89                   The name of the method that contains the primary key of the
90                   object to be loaded.  Defaults to the method name
91                   concatenated with "_id".
92
93               "interface"
94                   Choose the interface.  The only current interface is
95                   "get_set", which is the default.
96
97               "share_db"
98                   If true, the "db" attribute of the current object is shared
99                   with the object loaded.  Defaults to true.
100
101           Interfaces
102               "get_set"
103                   Creates a method that will attempt to create and load a
104                   Rose::DB::Object::Std-derived object based on a primary key
105                   stored in an attribute of the current object.
106
107                   If passed a single argument of undef, the "hash_key" used
108                   to store the object is set to undef.  Otherwise, the
109                   argument is assumed to be an object of type "class" and is
110                   assigned to "hash_key" after having its primary key set to
111                   the corresponding value in the current object.
112
113                   If called with no arguments and the "hash_key" used to
114                   store the object is defined, the object is returned.
115                   Otherwise, the object is created and loaded.
116
117                   The load may fail for several reasons.  The load will not
118                   even be attempted if the primary key attribute in the
119                   current object is undefined.  Instead, undef will be
120                   returned.  If the call to the newly created object's "load"
121                   method returns false, that false value is returned.
122
123                   If the load succeeds, the object is returned.
124
125           Example:
126
127               package Category;
128               our @ISA = qw(Rose::DB::Object::Std);
129               ...
130
131               package Color;
132               our @ISA = qw(Rose::DB::Object::Std);
133               ...
134
135               package Product;
136               our @ISA = qw(Rose::DB::Object);
137               ...
138
139               use Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Std
140               (
141                 object_by_id =>
142                 [
143                   color => { class => 'Color' },
144
145                   category =>
146                   {
147                     class     => 'Category',
148                     id_method => 'cat_id',
149                     share_db  => 0,
150                   },
151                 ],
152               );
153
154               ...
155
156               $prod = Product->new(...);
157
158               $color = $prod->color;
159
160               # $prod->color call is roughly equivalent to:
161               #
162               # $color = Color->new(id => $prod->color_id,
163               #                     db => $prod->db);
164               # $ret = $color->load;
165               # return $ret  unless($ret);
166               # return $color;
167
168               $cat = $prod->category;
169
170               # $prod->category call is roughly equivalent to:
171               #
172               # $cat = Category->new(id => $prod->cat_id);
173               # $ret = $cat->load;
174               # return $ret  unless($ret);
175               # return $cat;
