NAME
Catalyst::Controller::SimpleCAS::Store::File - Standard file-based Store for SimpleCAS
SYNOPSIS
use Catalyst::Controller::SimpleCAS;
...DESCRIPTION
This is the main "Store" object class used by Catalyst::Controller::SimpleCAS for persisting/storing arbitrary pieces of content on disk according to their CAS (content-addressed storage) name/address, in this case, standard 40 character SHA1 hex strings (160-bit). This is the same thing that Git does, which was the original inspiration for the SimpleCAS module.
Currently, this is the only Store class, but others could be implemented and the system was designed with this in mind (i.e. a DBIC-based store). Also, the implementation need not use the 40-char sha1 addresses - any content/checksum system for IDs could be implemented.
Also note that an actual Git-based store was partially written, but never finished. See the branch named partial_git_store in the GitHub repository for more info.
This class is used internally and should not need to be called directly.
ATTRIBUTES
