DBIx::Class::UUIDColumns - Implicit uuid columns
package Artist; __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/UUIDColumns Core DB/); __PACKAGE__->uuid_columns( 'artist_id' );
This DBIx::Class component resembles the behaviour of Class::DBI::UUID, to make some columns implicitly created as uuid.
When loaded, UUIDColumns will search for a suitable uuid generation module from the following list of supported modules:
UUIDColumns
Data::UUID APR::UUID* UUID Win32::Guidgen Win32API::GUID
If no supporting module can be found, an exception will be thrown.
*APR::UUID will not be loaded under OpenBSD due to an as yet unidentified XS issue.
If you would like to use a specific module, you can set uuid_class:
uuid_class
__PACKAGE__->uuid_class('::Data::UUID'); __PACKAGE__->uuid_class('MyUUIDGenerator');
Note that the component needs to be loaded before Core.
Takes a list of columns to be filled with uuids during insert.
__PACKAGE__->uuid_columns('id');
Takes the name of a UUIDMaker subclass to be used for uuid value generation. This can be a fully qualified class name, or a shortcut name starting with :: that matches one of the available DBIx::Class::UUIDMaker subclasses:
__PACKAGE__->uuid_class('CustomUUIDGenerator'); # loads CustomeUUIDGenerator __PACKAGE->uuid_class('::Data::UUID'); # loads DBIx::Class::UUIDMaker::Data::UUID;
Note that uuid_class chacks to see that the specified class isa DBIx::Class::UUIDMaker subbclass and throws and exception if it isn't.
Returns the current UUIDMaker instance for the given module.
my $uuid = __PACKAGE__->uuid_maker->as_string;
