11DBIx::Class::InflateColumn - Automatically create objects from column data
12
13=head1 SYNOPSIS
14
15 # In your table classes
16 __PACKAGE__->inflate_column('column_name', {
17 inflate => sub { ... },
18 deflate => sub { ... },
19 });
20
21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
23This component translates column data into objects, i.e. "inflating"
24the column data. It also "deflates" objects into an appropriate format
25for the database.
26
27It can be used, for example, to automatically convert to and from
75d07914 28L<DateTime> objects for your date and time fields.
bcae85db 29
30=head1 METHODS
31
32=head2 inflate_column
33
75d07914 34Instruct L<DBIx::Class> to inflate the given column.
bcae85db 35
36In addition to the column name, you must provide C<inflate> and
37C<deflate> methods. The C<inflate> method is called when you access
38the field, while the C<deflate> method is called when the field needs
39to used by the database.
40
41For example, if you have a table C<events> with a timestamp field
42named C<insert_time>, you could inflate the column in the
43corresponding table class using something like:
44
45 __PACKAGE__->inflate_column('insert_time', {
46 inflate => sub { DateTime::Format::Pg->parse_datetime(shift); },
47 deflate => sub { DateTime::Format::Pg->format_datetime(shift); },
48 });
49
50(Replace L<DateTime::Format::Pg> with the appropriate module for your
51database, or consider L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.)
52
06fc5fc9 53The coderefs you set for inflate and deflate are called with two parameters,
54the first is the value of the column to be inflated/deflated, the second is the
55row object itself. Thus you can call C<< ->result_source->schema->storage->dbh >> on
56it, to feed to L<DateTime::Format::DBI>.
57
bcae85db 58In this example, calls to an event's C<insert_time> accessor return a
59L<DateTime> object. This L<DateTime> object is later "deflated" when
60used in the database layer.

101Fetch a column value in its inflated state. This is directly
102analogous to L<DBIx::Class::Row/get_column> in that it only fetches a
103column already retreived from the database, and then inflates it.
104Throws an exception if the column requested is not an inflated column.
