SQL::Tr...::Extra(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet SQL::Translator::Schema::Role::Extra — the page is shortened to SQL::Tr...::Extra(3) up top, but the full module name is the whole thing. It's the role that gives schema classes their "extra" attribute. That's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

To pull it into a class, you literally do this:

package Foo;
use Moo;
with qw(SQL::Translator::Schema::Role::Extra);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This role provides methods to set and get a hashref of extra attributes for schema objects. No cap, it's the little sidecar of extra data for schema stuff. 🦋

🧚 METHODS 🧚

🔥 extra 🔥

Use this to get or set the object's "extra" attributes — think "ZEROFILL" for MySQL fields, iykyk. Here's the rundown:

• Call with no args to get all the extra data.
• Call with a single name arg to get the value of the named extra attribute, returned as a scalar.
• Call with a hash or hashref to set extra attributes.

It returns a hash or a hashref. Very demure, very flexible. 💖

Examples, exact:

$field->extra( qualifier => 'ZEROFILL' );

$qualifier = $field->extra('qualifier');

%extra = $field->extra;
$extra = $field->extra;

🎀 remove_extra 🎀

Plot twist: "extra" can only be used to get or set "extra" attributes — it can't remove some. That's why remove_extra exists, bestie. 🫶

• Call with no args to remove all extra attributes that have been set before.
• Call with a list of key names to remove certain extra attributes only.

Examples:

# remove all extra attributes
$field->remove_extra();

# remove timezone and locale attributes only
$field->remove_extra(qw/timezone locale/);
