I implementing a "on_field_change" hook. External classes can hook
the DBIC model to observe (usually) status changes and start some

it creates a loosely coupled system, where I can add other components
later without going back and modifying old code.
Hook how?
On a class base, a schema object base, a resultsource base, a
resultset
base, a per-object base?
Class base for now. It solves my problem. but I don't mind to code it
differently if somebody needs the others.
Personally I only need class hooks.
From my first look through the code, I think the set_column() is the
proper place to do this. But we could set_column() and then not
update
().
Or store_column if you only want -actual- sets rather than "maybe a
set"
(the value equality and dirty_columns logic is in set_)
Missed store_column, I'll take a look.
So update() and look at the dirty columns is probably safer.
If I want to trigger on insert also, I also have to watch for
insert().
Right.
Another option is to create an InflateColumn::Trigger and use that,
but it might not be what people expect.
No. You might like to have a look at the implementation of
CDBICompat::Triggers
and consider doing something similar for Class::Observer rather than
Class::Trigger though.
Thanks for the pointers. I knew about Class::Observable already, I've
used it in the past.
Best regards,
