In most cases I use the same inflator for multiple columns in a table. So instead of calling inflate_column with the same attributes for each column, I'd like to write
__PACKAGE__->inflate_column(qw/col1 col2 col3/ => { inflate => sub { Some:Class->inflate }, deflate => sub { shift->deflate }, }); Changes to inflate_column() would be easy and backwards-compatible, I think. Simply rearranged the code a little bit, but didn't actually tested: sub inflate_column { my $self = shift; my $attrs = pop; $self->throw_exception("inflate_column needs attr hashref") unless ref $attrs eq 'HASH'; foreach my $col (@_) { $self->throw_exception("No such column $col to inflate") unless $self->has_column($col); $self->column_info($col)->{_inflate_info} = $attrs; $self->mk_group_accessors('inflated_column' => $col); } return 1; } What do you think? -- Bernhard Graf _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.rawmode.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class Wiki: http://dbix-class.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/ IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/dbix-class@lists.rawmode.org/
