G'day,
I have used a convention manager to deal with the fact that I don't
use plurals.
create table Foo (
ID serial not null,
Bar text not null,
primary key ('ID')
);
package My::ConventionManager;
use base qw(Rose::DB::Object::ConventionManager);
sub auto_table_name { ucfirst shift->class_to_table_singular }
package My::Metadata;
use base qw(Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Auto::Pg);
sub init_convention_manager { shift; My::ConventionManger->new(@_) }
package My::Object;
sub meta_class { 'My::Metadata' }
sub init_db { My::DB->new }
package My::Foo;
__PACKAGE__->meta->auto_initialize;
This works, it finds my Foo table just fine.
However, I'm struggling to find the cleanest way to deal with the
fact that the code I am working on has a strict convention of
accessors/mutators being getFoo() and setFoo(). I know how to do this
by calling ->meta->setup() manually, passing in the methods => {}
hashref to set what you want the names to be. But if there is an
aweful amount of columns, this is quite a tedious task.
I have tried a few different things, all of which I can get to work.
__PACKAGE__->auto_init_columns;
for (__PACKAGE__->meta->columns) {
__PACKAGE__->meta->column($_)->auto_method_types('get', 'set');
__PACKAGE__->meta->column($_)->method_name(get => "get$_");
__PACKAGE__->meta->column($_)->method_name(set => "set$_");
}
__PACKAGE__->initialize;
The above works. I can also edit the My::Metadata class to overload
the auto_generate_column() method to effectively do the above for me.
I'm wondering if either of the strategies I am using here are
considered "the right way". Is there a way I can tell convention
manager what the convention is for naming the accessors and mutators?
If there isn't a way, and people think there should be, I'd be happy
to work on a patch.
regards,
Danial
