✨ KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Storable ✨

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the manual name is literally KiokuD...torable(3pm) because someone let the terminal truncate it 💀 (it's KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Storable, bestie, we know her). No cap, this whole thing is a Perl role that turns your KiokuDB entries into Storable bytes. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Storable — the Storable-based serialization of KiokuDB::Entry objects. that's the whole vibe, that's the whole job 💅

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 0.57

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the little teaser, exactly as the page gives it:

package MyBackend;

with qw(KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Storable;

she's short, she's sweet, she's doing her best ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: this role hands you Storable-based serialization of KiokuDB::Entry objects for a backend, and it comes with streaming capabilities too. it's giving "plug me into your backend and I'll handle the bytes" 😌

lowkey important though: KiokuDB::Backend::Serialize::Delegate is the preferred way to go. using this one directly? it's allowed, but the page is gently telling you the Delegate is the main character here 👑

---

💖 METHODS 💖

here's the whole lineup, every single one, no skipping 🫶

• serialize $entry — uses nstore in Storable. feeds your entry in and lets Storable do the thing.
• deserialize $blob — uses thaw in Storable. blob goes in, object comes out, iconic.
• serialize_to_stream $fh, $entry — uses nstore_fd in Storable. same energy as serialize but streaming to a filehandle, that's the "streaming capabilities" from the description right there 🎀
• deserialize_from_stream $fh — uses fd_retrieve in Storable. reads it back off the filehandle. periodt.
