DBIx::Class::KiokuDB - Refer to KiokuDB objects from DBIx::Class tables.

SYNOPSIS

    package MyApp::DB::Result::Album;
    use base qw(DBIx::Class);

    __PACKAGE__>load_components(qw(Core KiokuDB));

    __PACKAGE__->table('album');

    __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
        id => { data_type => "integer" },
        title => { data_type => "varchar" },

        # the foreign key for the KiokuDB object:
        metadata => { data_type => "varchar" },
    );

    __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

    # enable a KiokuDB rel on the column:
    __PACKAGE__->kiokudb_column('metadata');

DESCRIPTION

This DBIx::Class component provides the code necessary for DBIx::Class::Row objects to refer to KiokuDB objects stored in KiokuDB::Backend::DBI.

CLASS METHODS

kiokudb_column $rel

Declares a relationship to any KiokuDB object.

In future versions adding relationships to different sub-collections will be possible as well.

METHODS

store: A convenience method that calls "store" in KiokuDB on all referenced KiokuDB objects, and then invokes insert_or_update on $self.
get_kiokudb_column $col
set_kiokudb_column $col, $obj
store_kiokudb_column $col, $obj: See DBIx::Class::Row.

OVERRIDDEN METHODS

new: Recognizes objects passed in as column values, much like standard relationships do.
insert: Also calls "insert" in KiokuDB on all referenced objects that are not in the KiokuDB storage.
update: Adds a check to ensure that all referenced KiokuDB objects are in storage.
