💅 Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum

okay so this is the Rose::...::Enum(3pm) page, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and bestie it's literally about enumerated column metadata 🎀 don't worry, we're gonna get through it together and it's gonna slay.

✨ NAME ✨

Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum — enumerated column metadata. that's the whole name, she's long but she's iconic 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum;

  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);
  ...

see how chill that is? new one up, make some methods, dots because there's more and we're not gonna list it all 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for enum columns. like, that's their whole personality and honestly? respect.

Column metadata objects store info about columns — data type, size, etc. — and they're the ones responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values. main character energy fr fr 🌟

so what even is an enum column? it's a column that accepts a restricted set of string values, and those strings are usually stored as sequential integers in the database. cute little ints cosplaying as words, we love a disguise 😭

this class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar. inherited methods that aren't overridden won't be documented a second time here — no point repeating ourselves, we're not that kind of girl. go read the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar documentation for the deets 🫶

🧚 METHOD MAP 🧚

  • get_set — maps to Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, enum, interface => 'get_set', ...
  • get — maps to Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, enum, interface => 'get', ...
  • get_set — maps to Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, enum, interface => 'set', ...
ngl, yes, that's get_set listed twice. and yes, the second one is interface => 'set'. that's literally what the map says, i'm just the messenger 💀 no cap.

for the full explanation of what this method map even means, go see the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation. she explains it better than i ever could 💜

🍓 OBJECT METHODS 🍓

  • type — returns enum. that's it. that's the method. short queen 🌈
  • values [VALUES] — get or set a reference to an array of valid column values. ⚠️ heads up: this attribute is required. like, required required. you can't skip it, she needs her values bestie 🙈
