NAME¶
DBIx::Class::TimeStamp - DBIx::Class extension to update and create date and
time based fields
DESCRIPTION¶
Works in conjunction with InflateColumn::DateTime to automatically set update
and create date and time based fields in a table.
SYNOPSIS¶
package My::Schema;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( TimeStamp ... Core ));
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
id => { data_type => 'integer' },
t_created => { data_type => 'datetime', set_on_create => 1 },
t_updated => { data_type => 'datetime',
set_on_create => 1, set_on_update => 1 },
);
Now, any update or create actions will update the specified columns with the
current time, using the DateTime inflator.
This is effectively trigger emulation to get consistent behavior across
databases that either implement them poorly or not at all.
METHODS¶
get_timestamp¶
Returns a DateTime object pointing to now. Override this method if you have
different time accounting functions, or want to do anything special.
The date and time objects in the database are expected to be inflated. As such
you can be pretty flexible with what you want to return here.
