Storm::Aeolus(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Storm::Aeolus — bestie, this is the module that installs your classes to the database 💅 (also, hi, you're reading a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's iconic of you to be here).

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

$storm->aeolus->install_class_table( 'Person' );

$storm->aeolus->install_junction_tables( 'Person' );

$storm->aeolus->install_class( 'Person' );

---

🌬️ DESCRIPTION 🌬️

Okay so, lore time: Aeolus is the Greek god of the winds. And Storm::Aeolus? It can literally introspect your object classes and create the appropriate definitions in the database for you. Main character energy fr fr 🫶

One thing though — it is important you setup a policy (see Storm::Policy) for any custom types you have created. Not optional, not a vibe check you skip. Do it.

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

• storm — the Storm storm instance that Aeolus should act on. That's the one it does all its work for 💖

---

💅 METHODS 💅

• backup_class $class, $filehandle, [\%opts] — backs up the data for an entire class and writes it to the supplied filehandle (yes, the original says "supplised fielhandle", we love a typo, we keep it, no cap 🙈). Note the optional \%opts — it's in brackets, so it's optional.

Also, ngl, sitting right here in the source is this literal line, and we are reporting it exactly as it appears, pod quirk and all:

= item backup_class_table $class, $filehandle, [\%opts]

That's it. That's the whole thing. 💀

• install_class $class — installs the all necessary tables for storing the class, by calling install_class_table and install_junction_tables on the $class. It's the combo meal 🍓
• install_class_table $class — installs the primary data table for the $class. The main one. The star. 👑
• install_junction_tables $class — installs any junction tables necessary to store relationship information between objects. Shipping them together, as one does 🌈
• install_model $class — calls install_class for all members of the model. It's giving "I'll do it for everyone, don't worry" 😭
