NAME

       DBIx::Class::TimeStamp - DBIx::Class extension to update and create date and time based fields

DESCRIPTION

       Works in conjunction with InflateColumn::DateTime to automatically set update and create date and time based fields in a table.

SYNOPSIS

	package My::Schema;

	__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( TimeStamp ... Core ));

	__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
	   id => { data_type => 'integer' },
	   t_created => { data_type => 'datetime', set_on_create => 1 },
	   t_updated => { data_type => 'datetime',
	       set_on_create => 1, set_on_update => 1 },
	);

       Now, any update or create actions will update the specified columns with the current time, using the DateTime inflator.

       This is effectively trigger emulation to get consistent behavior across databases that either implement them poorly or not at all.

METHODS

   get_timestamp
       Returns a DateTime object pointing to now.  Override this method if you have different time accounting functions, or want to do anything
       special.

       The date and time objects in the database are expected to be inflated.  As such you can be pretty flexible with what you want to return
       here.

NAME

       DBIx::Class::DynamicDefault - Automatically set and update fields

SYNOPSIS

	 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.

DESCRIPTION

       Automatically set and update fields with values calculated at runtime.

OPTIONS

   dynamic_default_on_create
	 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_update
	 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.

       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.
