The following methods implement the methods that the Entities::Backend Moose role requires backend classes to implement. See the documentation of that role for more information on these methods.

get_user_from_id( $user_id )

get_user_from_name( $username )

get_role( $role_name )

get_customer( $customer_name )

get_plan( $plan_name )

get_feature( $feature_name )

get_action( $action_name )

save( $obj )

METHOD MODIFIERS

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

around qw/roles actions users plans customers features/

If any of the above methods are called in list context, this method modifier will automatically dereference the results into an array.
