NAME

Mango::Provider::Profiles - Provider class for user profile information

SYNOPSIS

    my $provider = Mango::Provider::Profiles->new;
    my $profile = $provider->get_by_id(23);

DESCRIPTION

Mango::Provider::Profiles is the provider class responsible for creating, deleting, updating and searching user profile information.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Arguments: \%options

Creates a new profile provider object. If options are passed to new, those are sent to setup.

    my $provider = Mango::Provider::Profiles->new;

See "new" in Mango::Provider and "new" in Mango::Provider::DBIC for a list of other possible options.

METHODS

create

Arguments: \%data

Creates a new Mango::Profile object using the supplied data.

    my $profile = $provider->create({
        user => 23
        first_name => 'Christopher',
        last_name  => 'Laco'
    });
    
    print $role->name;

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which this profile is assigned to.

    my $profile = $provider->create({
        user => $user,
        first_name => 'Christopher'
    });

It is recommended that you use this key, rather than setting the foreign key column manually in case it changes later.

delete

Arguments: \%filter

Deletes profiles from the provider matching the supplied filter.

    $provider->delete({
        id => 23
    });

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which this profile is assigned to.

    $provider->delete({
        user => $user
    });

It is recommended that you use this key, rather than setting the foreign key column manually in case it changes later.

get_by_id

Arguments: $id

Returns a Mango::Profile object matching the specified id.

    my $profile = $provider->get_by_id(23);

Returns undef if no matching profile can be found.

search

Arguments: \%filter, \%options

Returns a list of Mango::Profile objects in list context, or a Mango::Iterator in scalar context matching the specified filter.

    my @profiles = $provider->search({
        last_name => 'A%'
    });
    
    my $iterator = $provider->search({
        last_name => 'A%'
    });

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which roles are assigned to.

    my @profiles = $provider->search({
        user => $user
    });
    
    my $profiles = $provider->search({
        user => $user
    });

See "ATTRIBUTES" in DBIx::Class::Resultset for a list of other possible options.

update

Arguments: $profile

Sets the 'updated' column to DateTime->now and saves any changes made to the profile back to the underlying store.

    my $profile = $provider->create(\%data);
    $profile->first_name('Christopher');
    
    $provider->update($profile);
