NAME

DBIx::Jello::Class - persisted DBIx::Jello-based classes

DESCRIPTION

You don't use DBIx::Jello::Class directly, you'll be given subclasses of it from DBIx::Jello proper.

CLASS METHODS

Your generated classes will have the following methods

dbh()

returns the dbh we're connected to

table()

returns the table name in the database.

new( key => value, key => value )

Create a new instance of this class. Any key/value pairs will be used as the initial state of the instance.

retrieve(id)

retrieve an instance of the class by ID

search( ... )

Search for instances

INSTANCE METHODS

id

returns the (read-only) ID of the instance

get( param )

returns the value of the named parameter of the instance

set( param, value [ param, value, param, value ... ] )

sets the named param to the passed value. Can be passed a hash to set many params.

AUTOLOAD

DBIx::Jello::Class objects provide an AUTOLOAD method that can get/set any parameter. Just call $instance->foo( 'bar' ) to set the 'foo' param to 'bar', and $instance->foo() to get the value of the foo param.
