DESCRIPTION

Handel::Storage::RDBO is used as an intermediary
between Handel::Cart/Handel::Order and the RDBO schema used for reading/writing
to the database.
CONSTRUCTOR

new
- Arguments: \%options
Creates a new instance of Handel::Storage::RDBO, and passes the options to
setup on the new instance. The three examples below are the same:
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO-new({
schema_class => 'Handel::Schema::RDBO::Cart'
});
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO-new;
$storage->setup({
schema_source => 'Handel::Schema::RDBO::Cart'
});
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO->new;
$storage->schema_source('Handel::Schema::RDBO::Cart');
The following additional options are available to new/setup, and take the same
data as their method counterparts:
connection_info
item_relationship
schema_class
schema_instance
table_name
See new in Handel::Storage a list of other possible options.
METHODS

add_columns
- Arguments: @columns
Adds a list of columns to the current schema_class. Be careful to always use
the column names, not their accessor aliases.
$storage->add_columns(qw/foo bar baz/);
You can also add columns using the Rose::DB::Object::Meta syntax:
$storage->add_columns(
foo => {type => 'varchar', length => 36, not_null => 1},
bar => {type => int, alias => 'get_bar'}
);
Yes, you can even mix/match the two:
$storage->add_columns(
'foo',
bar => {type => int, alias => 'get_bar'},
'baz'
);
Before schema_instance is initialized, the columns to be added are stored
internally, then added to the schema_instance when it is initialized. If a
schema_instance already exists, the columns are added directly to the
schema_source in the schema_instance itself.
See add_columns in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
add_item
- Arguments: $result, \%data
Adds a new item to the specified result, returning a storage result object.
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO::Cart->new;
my $result = $storage->create({
shopper => '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
});
my $item = $storage->add_item($result, {
sku => 'ABC123'
});
print $item->sku;
A Handel::Storage::Exception (Handel::Storage::Exception) will be thrown if the
specified result has no item relationship, has a relationship that can't be
found in the schema, second parameter is not a HASH reference or no result is
specified.
See add_item in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
clone
Returns a clone of the current storage instance. This is the same as
clone in Handel::Storage except that it disconnects the db instance before
cloning as DBI hates being cloned apparently.
See clone in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
column_accessors
Returns a hashref containing all of the columns and their accessor names for the
current storage object.
If a schema_instance already exists, the columns from schema_source in that
schema_instance will be returned. If no schema_instance exists, the columns from
schema_source in the current schema_class will be returned plus any columns to
be added from add_columns minus and columns to be removed from remove_columns.
See column_accessors in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
columns
Returns a list of columns from the current schema source.
See columns in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
connection_info
- Arguments: \@info
Gets/sets the connection information used when connecting to the database.
$storage->connection_info(['dbi:mysql:foo', 'user', 'pass', {PrintError=>1}]);
The info argument is an array ref that holds the following values:
- $dsn
-
The DBI dsn to use to connect to.
- $username
-
The username for the database you are connecting to.
- $password
-
The password for the database you are connecting to.
- \%attr
-
The attributes to be pass to DBI for this connection.
See DBI for more information about dsns and connection attributes.
copyable_item_columns
Returns a list of columns in the current item class that can be copied freely.
This list is usually all columns in the item class except for the primary
key columns and the foreign key columns that participate in the specified item
relationship.
A Handel::Storage::Exception (Handel::Storage::Exception) will be thrown if
item class or item relationship are not defined.
See copyable_item_columns in Handel::Storage for more information about this
method.
count_items
- Arguments: $result
Returns the number of items associated with the specified result.
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO::Cart->new;
my $result = $storage->create({
shopper => '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
});
$result->add_item({
sku => 'ABC123'
});
print $storage->count_items($result);
A Handel::Storage::Exception (Handel::Storage::Exception) will be thrown if the
specified result has no item relationship or no result is specified.
See count_items in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
create
- Arguments: \%data
Creates a new result in the current source in the current schema.
my $result = $storage->create({
col1 => 'foo',
col2 => 'bar'
});
See create in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
delete
- Arguments: \%filter
Deletes results matching the filter in the current source in the current schema.
$storage->delete({
id => '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
});
See delete in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
delete_items
- Arguments: $result, \%filter
Deletes items matching the filter from the specified result.
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO::Cart->new;
my $result = $storage->create({
shopper => '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
});
$result->add_item({
sku => 'ABC123'
});
$storage->delete_items($result, {
sku => 'ABC%'
});
A Handel::Storage::Exception (Handel::Storage::Exception) will be thrown if the
specified result has no item relationship.
See delete_items in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
has_column
- Arguments: $column
Returns true if the column exists in the current storage object. If the schema
is already initialized, the has_column method on the result source will be used.
Otherwise, has_column will calculate the existence of the column based on any
current add_columns/remove_columns information.
item_relationship
- Arguments: $relationship_name
Gets/sets the name of the schema relationship between carts and items.
The default item relationship is 'items'.
# in your schema classes
MySchema::CustomCart->meta->setup(
relationships => [
rel_items => {
type => 'one to many',
class => 'Handel::Schema::RDBO::Cart::Item',
column_map => {id => 'cart'}
}
]
);
# in your storage
$storage->item_relationship('rel_items');
primary_columns
- Arguments @columns
Gets/sets the list of primary columns for the current schema_class. When the
schema instance exists, the primary columns are added to and returns from the
current schema source on the schema instance.
When no schema instance exists, the columns are set locally like add_columns
then added to the schema instance during its configuration. Primary columns are
returns from the current schema source in the current schema class if no primary
columns have been set locally.
remove_columns
- Arguments: @columns
Removes a list of columns from the current schema_class and removes the
autogenerated accessors from the current class. Be careful to always use the
column names, not their accessor aliases.
$storage->remove_columns(qw/description/);
Before schema_instance is initialized, the columns to be removed are stored
internally, then removed from the schema_instance when it is initialized. If a
schema_instance already exists, the columns are removed directly from the
schema_source in the schema_instance itself.
See remove_columns in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
schema_class
- Arguments: $schema_class
Gets/sets the schema class to be used for database reading/writing.
$storage->schema_class('MySchema');
A Handel::Exception::Storage (Handel::Exception::Storage) exception will be
thrown if the specified class can not be loaded.
schema_instance
- Arguments: $schema_instance
Gets/sets the schema instance to be used for database reading/writing. If no
instance exists, a new one will be created from the specified schema class.
When a new schema instance is created or assigned, it is cloned and the clone
is altered and used, leaving the original schema untouched.
See Handel::Manual::Schema (Handel::Manual::Schema) for more detailed
information about how the schema instance is configured.
search
- Arguments: \%filter
Returns results in list context, or an iterator in scalar context from the
current source in the current schema matching the search filter.
my $iterator = $storage->search({
col1 => 'foo'
});
my @results = $storage->search({
col1 => 'foo'
});
See search in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
search_items
- Arguments: $result, \%filter
Returns items matching the filter associated with the specified result.
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO::Cart->new;
my $result = $storage->search({
id => '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
});
my $iterator = $storage->search_items($result);
Returns results in list context, or an iterator in scalar context from the
current source in the current schema matching the search filter.
A Handel::Storage::Exception (Handel::Storage::Exception) will be thrown if the
specified result has no item relationship.
See search_items in Handel::Storage for more information about this method.
setup
- Arguments: \%options
Configures a storage instance with the options specified. Setup accepts the
exact same options that new does.
package MyStorageClass;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw/Handel::Storage::RDBO/;
__PACKAGE__->setup({
schema_class => 'MySchema::Cart'
});
# or
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO-new;
$storage->setup({
schema_class => 'MySchema::Cart'
});
This is the same as doing:
my $storage = Handel::Storage::RDBO-new({
schema_class => 'MySchema::Cart'
});
If you call setup on a storage instance or class that has already been
configured, its configuration will be updated with the new options. No attempt
will be made to clear or reset the unspecified settings back to their defaults.
If you pass in a schema_instance, it will be assigned last after all of the
other options have been applied.
table_name
- Arguments: $table_name
Gets/sets the name of the table in the database to be used for this schema
source.
txn_begin
Starts a transaction on the current schema instance.
txn_commit
Commits the current transaction on the current schema instance.
txn_rollback
Rolls back the current transaction on the current schema instance.
