=head1 NAME

DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::StorageValues - Keep track of stored vs in-memory row values

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package MyApp::Schema::Result::BlogPost;

 use parent 'DBIx::Class::Core';

 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(Helper::Row::StorageValues));

 __PACKAGE__->table('BlogPost');
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    id => {
       data_type         => 'integer',
       is_auto_increment => 1,
    },
    title => {
       data_type          => 'varchar',
       length             => 32,
       keep_storage_value => 1,
    },
    body => {
       data_type => 'text',
    },
 );

 1;

 # elsewhere:

 my $post = $blog_rs->create({
   title => 'Components for fun and profit',
   body  => '...',
 });

 $post->title('Components for fun');

 warn sprintf 'Changing title from %s to %s',
   $post->storage_value('title'), $post->title;

 $post->update;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This component keeps track of the value for a given column in the database.  If
you change the column's value and do not call C<update>, the C<storage_value>
will be different; once C<update> is called the C<storage_value> will be set
to the value of the accessor.  Note that the fact that it uses the accessor is
an important distinction.  If you are using L<DBIx::Class::FilterColumn> or
L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn> it will get the non-storage or inflated values,
respectively.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 _has_storage_value

 $self->_has_storage_value('colname')

returns true if we should store the storage value from the database.  Override
this if you'd like to enable storage on all integers or something like that:

 sub _has_storage_value {
    my ( $self, $column ) = @_;

    my $info = $self->column_info($column);

    return defined $info->{data_type} && $info->{data_type} eq 'integer';
 }

=head2 storage_value_columns

 $self->storage_value_columns

returns a list of columns to store

=head2 get_storage_value

 $self->get_storage_value('colname')

returns the value for that column which is in storage
