🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so this is the manual page for Rose::...Scalar(3pm) — from User Contributed Perl Documentation — and the actual class is Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar. It’s literally Scalar column metadata, and it’s giving tiny-but-important metadata era 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

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

Bestie, that’s the whole vibe: load the class, make a $col, call methods, etc. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for scalar columns in a database. Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values. ✨

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for more information. No cap — that’s where the inherited stuff lives 🫶.

💅 METHOD MAP 💅

Here’s the map, and yes we’re keeping every entry exactly as it is:

  • get_set — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, interface => 'get_set', ...
  • get — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, interface => 'get', ...
  • get_set — Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic, scalar, interface => 'set', ...

And yeah, the third label literally says get_set again while the interface says 'set' — that’s exactly what the page says, so I’m not touching it 😭. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column documentation for an explanation of this method map.

👑 OBJECT METHODS 👑

check_in [ARRAYREF]

Get or set a reference to an array of valid column values. ✨

default VALUE

Get or set the default value for the column. 🎀

init_method [NAME]

Get or set the name of the "init" method. See the documentation for the "scalar" method type in Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic for more information.

length [INT]

Get or set the length of the column in characters. 📏

overflow [BEHAVIOR]

Get or set the setting that determines the behavior when the column value is greater than length characters. Valid values for BEHAVIOR are:

  • fatal — Throw an exception.
  • truncate — Truncate the column value to the correct length.
  • warn — Print a warning message.

The default value is "fatal". So bestie, if it gets too long, it’s fatal by default — dramatic but true 💀.

type

Returns "scalar". Simple. Iconic. Periodt 👑.

with_init [BOOL]

Get or set the flag that determines whether or not the method created by make_method() will include an "init" method as well. See the documentation for the scalar method type in Rose::DB::Object::MakeMethods::Generic for more information.
