6 Storm::Policy - Define how types are stored/retrieve from the database

9 package MyPolicy;
10 use Storm::Policy;
11 use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;
12 use DateTime::Format::SQLite;
13
14 class_type 'DateTime',
15 { class => 'DateTime' };
16
17 define 'DateTime', 'DATETIME';
18
19 transform 'DateTime',
20 inflate { DateTime::Format::SQLite->parse_datetime( $_ ) },
21 deflate { DateTime::Format::SQLite->format_datetime( $_ ) };
22
23
24 # and then later
25
26 $storm = Storm->new( source => ... , policy => 'MyPolicy' );
27
29 The policy defines how data is stored in the database. Storm::Policy
30 provides sugar for defining the data type for the DBMS and transforming
31 values on inflation/deflation.
32
34 define $type, $dbms_type
35 "define" declares the data type to be used by the DBMS (Database
36 Management Software) when storing values of the given $type.
37
38 transform inflate \&func, deflate \&func
39 "transform" is used to declare how values of the given type will be
40 serialized when stored to the database. Using transformations can
41 allow you to store complex objects.
42
43 The "deflate" function is used when storing value to the database.
44 $_ is the value to be deflated, and the return value is what will
45 be saved to the database.
46
47 The "inflate" function is used when retrieving the value from the
48 database. $_ is the value to be inflated, and the return value is
49 the value Storm will use.
