DBIx::Class::DynamicDefault - Automatically set and update fields
package My::Schema::SomeTable; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/DynamicDefault ... Core/); __PACKAGE__->add_columns( quux => { data_type => 'integer' }, quux_plus_one => { data_type => 'integer', dynamic_default_on_create => \&quux_plus_one_default, dynamic_default_on_update => 'quux_plus_one_default', }, last_changed => { data_type => 'integer', dynamic_default_on_create => 'now', dynamic_default_on_update => 'now, }, ); sub quux_plus_one_default { my ($self) = @_; return $self->quux + 1; } sub now { return DateTime->now->epoch; }
Now, any update or create actions will set the specified columns to the value returned by the callback you specified as a method name or code reference.
Automatically set and update fields with values calculated at runtime.
dynamic_default_on_create => sub { ... } dynamic_default_on_create => 'method_name'
When inserting a new row all columns with the dynamic_default_on_create option will be set to the return value of the specified callback unless the columns value has been explicitly set. The callback, that'll be invoked with the row object as its only argument, may be a code reference or a method name.
dynamic_default_on_create
dynamic_default_on_update => sub { ... } dynamic_default_on_update => 'method_name'
When updating a row all columns with the dynamic_default_on_update option will be set to the return value of the specified callback unless the columns value has been explicitly set.
dynamic_default_on_update
Columns will only be altered if other dirty columns exist. See always_update on how to change this.
always_update
always_update => 1
When setting always_update to 1 dynamic_default_on_update callbacks will always be invoked, even if no other columns are dirty.
