Don't use this module directly; instead, pass its name as a trait when you create a new record class. This package provides a multiply-composable collection of functionality for Record classes. It is combined with the base class and other traits by DBIx::SQLEngine::Record::Class. =cut ######################################################################## package DBIx::SQLEngine::Record::Hooks; use strict; use Carp; ######################################################################## ######################################################################## =head1 HOOKS INTERFACE Many of the methods below are labeled "Inheritable Hook." These methods allow you to register callbacks which are then invoked at specific points in each record's lifecycle. You can add these callbacks to all record classes, to a particular class, or even to a particular object instance. These hooks act like the triggers supported by some databases; you can ensure that every time a record is updated in a specific table, certain other actions occur automatically. To register a callback, call the install_hooks method, and pass it pairs of a hook method name, and a subroutine reference, as follows: I->install_hooks( I => I, ... ). =over 4 =item install_hooks() $classname->install_hooks( $hook_name => \&my_sub, ... ) $record->install_hooks( $hook_name => \&my_sub, ... ) Registers one or more callbacks. Accepts pairs of a hook method name, and a subroutine reference. For more about the implementation of the Hook mechanism, see L. =back B Here are a few examples to show the possibilities this provides you with: =over 4 =item * To have each record write to a log when it's loaded from the database: sub log_fetch { my $record = shift; warn "Loaded record $record->{id}" } ); MyClass->install_hooks( post_fetch => \&log_fetch ); =item * To make a class "read-only" by preventing all inserts, updates, and deletes: my $refusal = sub { return 0 }; MyClass->install_hooks( ok_insert => $refusal, ok_update => $refusal, ok_delete => $refusal, ); =item * To have a particular record automatically save any changes you've made to it when it goes out of scope: my $record = MyClass->fetch_one( ... ); $record->install_hooks( pre_destroy => sub { (shift)->save_record } ); =back =cut sub install_hooks { my $callee = shift; while ( my( $method_name, $code_ref ) = splice( @_, 0, 2 ) ) { $callee->$method_name( Class::MakeMethods::Composite::Inheritable->Hook( $code_ref ) ); } } ######################################################################## ######################################################################## =head1 SIMPLE RECORD INTERFACE =head2 Constructor You may create your own records for new instances, or fetch records from the database as described in L =over 4 =item new_empty_record() $class_name->new_empty_record() : $empty_record Adds support for post_new hook. =item post_new() Inheritable Hook.

Calls ok_insert to ensure that it's OK to insert this row, and aborts if any of hook subroutines return 0.

Returns undef if the update was aborted, or the record if the insert was successful. =item ok_insert Inheritable Hook. Add functions which should be called to validate rows before they are inserted. =item pre_insert Inheritable Hook.
