SYNOPSIS

        use Entities;
        use Entities::Backend::Memory;

        # see synopsis at L<Entities>

DESCRIPTION

This backend for the Entities user management and authorization system stores all entities and relations between them in memory. It is only meant for quick testing and rapid development. Please, do not use this in production environments.

UNIQUE METHODS

The following method are unique to this backend only.

new()

Creates a new instance of this module.

roles( [\@roles] )

In scalar context, returns an array-ref of all <role objects|Entities::Role> stored in memory. In list context returns an array. If a list of role objects is provided, it will replace the current list.

users( [\@users] )

In scalar context, returns an array-ref of all <user objects|Entities::User> stored in memory. In list context returns an array. If a list of user objects is provided, it will replace the current list.

actions( [\@actions] )

In scalar context, returns an array-ref of all <action objects|Entities::Action> stored in memory. In list context returns an array. If a list of action objects is provided, it will replace the current list.

plans( [\@plans] )

In scalar context, returns an array-ref of all <plan objects|Entities::Plan> stored in memory. In list context returns an array. If a list of plan objects is provided, it will replace the current list.

customers( [\@customers] )

In scalar context, returns an array-ref of all <customer objects|Entities::Customer> stored in memory. In list context returns an array. If a list of customer objects is provided, it will replace the current list.

features( [\@features] )

METHODS IMPLEMENTED

The following methods implement the methods that the Entities::Backend Moose role requires backend classes to implement. See the documentation of that role for more information on these methods.

get_user_from_id( $user_id )

get_user_from_name( $username )

get_role( $role_name )

get_customer( $customer_name )

get_plan( $plan_name )

get_feature( $feature_name )

get_action( $action_name )

save( $obj )

METHOD MODIFIERS

The following list documents any method modifications performed through the magic of Moose.

around qw/roles actions users plans customers features/

If any of the above methods are called in list context, this method modifier will automatically dereference the results into an array.
