NAME

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::Serializer::JSON - JSON Inflator

SYNOPSIS

package MySchema::Table;
use base 'DBIx::Class';

__PACKAGE__->load_components('InflateColumn::Serializer', 'Core');
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
  'data_column' => {
    'data_type' => 'VARCHAR',
    'size'      => 255,
    'serializer_class'   => 'JSON',
    'serializer_options' => { allow_blessed => 1, convert_blessed => 1, pretty => 1 },    # optional
  }
);

Then in your code...

my $struct = { 'I' => { 'am' => 'a struct' };
$obj->data_column($struct);
$obj->update;

And you can recover your data structure with:

my $obj = ...->find(...);
my $struct = $obj->data_column;

The data structures you assign to "data_column" will be saved in the database in JSON format.

Any arguments included in serializer_options will be passed to the JSON::MaybeXS constructor, to be used by the JSON backend for both serializing and deserializing.
