NAME

Entities::Feature - A certain functionality, or just plan feature, that customers can use.

VERSION

version 0.4

SYNOPSIS

used internally, see L<Entities>

DESCRIPTION

A feature is just a name for some functionality or feature in your webapp, that you want to limit the availability of to certain privileged customers only. A feature is the basis of feature-based authorization.

NOTE: you are not meant to create feature objects directly, but only through the new_feature() method in Entities.

METHODS

new( name => 'somefeature', [ description => 'Just some feature', parent => $entities_obj, id => 123, created => $dt, modified => $other_dt ] )

Creates a new instance of this module. Only 'name' is required.

id()

Returns the ID of the feature, if set.

has_id()

Returns a true value if the feature has an ID attribute.

_set_id( $id )

Changes the ID of the feature object to a new ID. Should only be used internally.

name()

Returns the name of the feature.

description()

Returns the description text of the feature.

set_description( $desc )

Changes the description of the object to the provided value.

created()

Returns a DateTime object in the time the feature object has been created.

modified( [$dt] )

Returns a DateTime object in the last time the feature object has been modified. If a DateTime object is provided, it will be set as the new value of this attribute.

parent()

Returns the Entities::Backend instance that stores this object.

METHOD MODIFIERS

The following list documents any method modifications performed through the magic of Moose.

after anything_that_changes_object

Automatically saves the object to the backend after any method that changed it was executed. Also updates the 'modified' attribute with the current time before saving.
