Synopsis

   use File::DataClass::Schema;

   $schema = File::DataClass::Schema->new
      ( path    => [ qw(path to a file) ],
        result_source_attributes => { source_name => {}, },
        tempdir => [ qw(path to a directory) ] );

   $schema->source( q(source_name) )->attributes( [ qw(list of attr names) ] );
   $rs = $schema->resultset( q(source_name) );
   $result = $rs->find( { name => q(id of field element to find) } );
   $result->$attr_name( $some_new_value );
   $result->update;
   @result = $rs->search( { 'attr name' => q(some value) } );

Description

Provides methods for manipulating structured data stored in files of different formats

The documentation for this distribution starts in the class File::DataClass::Schema

File::DataClass::IO is a Moo based implementation of IO::Alls API. It implements the file and directory methods only

Configuration and Environment

Defines no attributes

Subroutines/Methods

None

Diagnostics

None

Dependencies

Moo

Incompatibilities

On mswin32 and cygwin it is assumed that NTFS is being used and that it does not support mtime so caching on those platforms is disabled

Due to the absence of an mswin32 environment for testing purposes that platform is not supported
