The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

USE

Fields are usually presented to users in main listing tables and on add/edit forms, or used for various control structures in each controller. The pseudo_value statement provides a way to use 'pseudo' columns for these various purposes. The definition of a pseudo column is a complex query/field that is not actually part of the table itself, but has been given an alias so that it can be treated as if it were.

EXAMPLE

To see an example, build:

    bigtop -c example.bigtop all

Change to the newly created PhoneProv directory and look in PhoneProv/lib/PhoneProv/GEN/E911.pm and PhoneProv/lib/PhoneProv/GEN/DirectoryInfo.pm for 'days_until_install'.
