NAME

CatalystX::CRUD::Object::File - filesystem CRUD instance

SYNOPSIS

 package My::File;
 use base qw( CatalystX::CRUD::Object::File );
  
 1;

DESCRIPTION

CatalystX::CRUD::Object::File delegates to Path::Class:File.

METHODS

Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

new( file => path/to/file )

Returns new CXCO::File object.

content

The contents of the delegate() file object. Set when you call read(). Set it yourself and call create() or update() as appropriate to write to the file.

create

Writes content() to a file. If the file already exists, will throw_error(), so call it like:

 -s $file ? $file->update : $file->create;

Returns the number of bytes written.

read

Slurp contents of file into content(). No check is performed as to whether the file exists, so call like:

 $file->read if -s $file;

update

Just like create() only no check is made if the file exists prior to writing to it. Returns the number of bytes written.

delete

Remove the file from the filesystem.

is_new

Returns true if the file does not yet exist.

serialize

Returns the File object as a hashref with 2 keys: file and content.
