NAME

DBIx::MoCo::Column - Scalar blessed class for inflating columns.

SYNOPSIS

Inflate column value by using DBIx::MoCo::Column::* plugins. If you set up your plugin like this,

  package DBIx::MoCo::Column::URI;

  sub URI {
    my $self = shift;
    return URI->new($$self);
  }

  sub URI_as_string {
    my $class = shift;
    my $uri = shift or return;
    return $uri->as_string;
  }

  1;

Then, you can use column_as_MyColumn method as following,

  my $e = MyEntry->retrieve(..);
  print $e->uri; # 'http://test.com/test'
  print $e->uri_as_URI->host; # 'test.com';

  my $uri = URI->new('http://www.test.com/test');
  $e->uri_as_URI($uri); # set uri by using URI instance

The name of infrate method which will be imported must be same as the package name.

If you don't define "as string" method (such as URI_as_string), scalar evaluated value of given argument will be used for new value instead.
