SYNOPSIS
NOTE: with items such as head_css which may contain more than one record you must set the priority of the record. This ensures each record has a unique value and also allows for proper ordering.
$nav->add_attribute({name => 'head_css', priority => '1'}, '/css/main.css');
$nav->add_attribute({name => 'head_css', priority => '2'}, '/css/fancymenu.css');
ACCESSORS

Defaults to empty string.
description

Defaults to empty string.
alias
FK on "navigation_id" in Interchange6::Schema::Result::Navigation.
Can be used for things such as menus in different languages which link back to the primary navigation menu.
Is nullable.
parent_id
Used by DBIx::Class::Tree::AdjacencyList to setup parent/child relationships.
Is nullable.
priority
Signed integer priority. We normally order descending.
Defaults to 0.
product_count

Date and time when this record was created returned as DateTime object. Value is auto-set on insert.

Boolean defaults to true (1).
METHODS
Attribute methods are provided by the Interchange6::Schema::Base::Attribute class.
new
Override inherited method to call "generate_uri" method in case "name" has been supplied as an argument but "uri" has not.
NOTE: is uri is supplied and is undefined then "generate_uri" is not called.
active_child_count
See "with_active_child_count" in Interchange6::Schema::ResultSet::Navigation for a resultset method which will prefill this data.
active_product_count
See "with_active_product_count" in Interchange6::Schema::ResultSet::Navigation for a resultset method which will prefill this data.
generate_uri($attrs)
Called by "new" if no uri is given as an argument.
The following steps are taken:
1. Stash $self->name
in $uri
to allow manipulation via filters
2. Remove leading and trailing spaces and replace remaining spaces and /
with -
3. Search for all rows in Interchange6::Schema::Result::Setting where scope
is Navigation
and name
is <generate_uri_filter>
4. For each row found eval $row->value
5. Finally set the value of column "uri" to $uri
Filters stored in Interchange6::Schema::Result::Setting are executed via eval and have access to $uri
and also the navigation result held in $self
Examples of filters stored in Setting might be:
{
scope => 'Navigation',
name => 'generate_uri_filter',
value => '$uri =~ s/badstuff/goodstuff/gi',
},
{
scope => 'Navigation',
name => 'generate_uri_filter',
value => '$uri = lc($uri)',
},
siblings_with_self
Similar to the inherited siblings method but also returns the object itself in the result set/list.
