NAME

DBIx::Class::DateTime::Epoch - Automatic inflation/deflation of epoch-based columns to/from DateTime objects

SYNOPSIS

     package MySchema::Foo;
     
     use base qw( DBIx::Class );
     
     __PACKAGE__->load_components( qw( DateTime::Epoch TimeStamp Core ) );
     __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
         name => {
             data_type => 'varchar',
             size      => 10,
         },
         bar => { # epoch stored as an int
             data_type        => 'bigint',
             inflate_datetime => 1,
         },
         baz => { # epoch stored as a string
             data_type        => 'varchar',
             size             => 50,
             inflate_datetime => 'epoch',
         },
         # working in conjunction with DBIx::Class::TimeStamp
         creation_time => {
             data_type        => 'bigint',
             inflate_datetime => 1,
             set_on_create    => 1,
         },
         modification_time => {
             data_type        => 'bigint',

         }
     );
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This module automatically inflates/deflates DateTime objects from/to epoch values for the specified columns. This module is essentially an extension to DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime so all of the settings, including "locale" and "timezone", are also valid.

A column will be recognized as an epoch time given one of the following scenarios:

*

"data_type" is an "int" of some sort and "inflate_datetime" is also set to a true value

*

"data_type" is some other value (e.g. "varchar") and "inflate_datetime" is explicitly set to "epoch".

DBIx::Class::TimeStamp can also be used in conjunction with this module to support epoch-based columns that are automatically set on creation of a row and updated subsequent modifications.

METHODS

add_columns( )

Provides backwards compatibility with the older DateTime::Epoch API.

_inflate_to_datetime( )

Overrides column inflation to use "Datetime->from_epoch".

_deflate_from_datetime( )

Overrides column deflation to call "epoch()" on the column value.
