17
18           has 'id' => ( is => 'rw', traits => [qw( PrimaryKey AutoIncrement )] );

31           $storm = Storm->new( source => ['DBI:SQLite:dbname=:memory:'] );
32
33           $o = Foo->new( label => 'Storm Enabled Object' );
34
35           # store object
36           $storm->insert( $o );
37
38           # update object
39           $o->label( 'Updated Object' );
40           $storm->update( $o );
41
42           # sync object with database
43           $storm->refresh( $o );
44
45           # lookup object in database

DESCRIPTION

58       Storm is a Moose based library for storing and retrieving objects over
59       a DBI connection.
60

ATTRIBUTES

62       aeolus
63           Read-only.
64
65           A Storm::Aeolus object for installing/uninstalling database tables.
66
67       live_objects
68           Read-only.
69
70           A Storm::LiveObjects object for tracking the set of live objects.
71           Creates scope objects to help ensure that objects are not garbage
72           collected. This is used internally and you typically shouldn't need
73           to access it yourself. It is documented here for completeness.
74
75       policy
76           The policy determines how types are defined in the database and can
77           be used to customize how types are inflated/deflated. See
78           Storm::Policy for more details.
79
80       source
81           Required.
82
83           The Storm::Source object responsible for spawning active database
84           handles. A Storm::Source object will be coerced from a ArrayRef or
85           Hashref.
86
87       table_prefix
88           The prefix to add to table names.
89

175       Special thanks to Yuval Kogman and Dave Rolsky, for who without their
176       talented work and this library would not be possible.
177
178       The code for managing the live object set and the scope relies on
179       modified code written by Yuval Kogman for KiokuDB. Documentation for
180       this feature was also taken from KiokuDB.
181
182       The code for managing the policy and generating sql statements relies
183       on modified code written by Dave Rolsky for Fey.
