NAME

Mango::Provider::Profiles - Provider class for user profile information

SYNOPSIS

my $provider = Mango::Provider::Profiles->new;
my $profile = $provider->get_by_id(23);

DESCRIPTION

Mango::Provider::Profiles is the provider class responsible for creating, deleting, updating and searching user profile information.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Arguments: \%options

Creates a new profile provider object. If options are passed to new, those are sent to setup.

my $provider = Mango::Provider::Profiles->new;

See "new" in Mango::Provider and "new" in Mango::Provider::DBIC for a list of other possible options.

METHODS

create

Arguments: \%data

Creates a new Mango::Profile object using the supplied data.

my $profile = $provider->create({
    user => 23
    first_name => 'Christopher',
    last_name  => 'Laco'
});

print $role->name;

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which this profile is assigned to.

my $profile = $provider->create({
    user => $user,
    first_name => 'Christopher'
});

It is recommended that you use this key, rather than setting the foreign key column manually in case it changes later.

delete

Arguments: \%filter

Deletes profiles from the provider matching the supplied filter.

$provider->delete({
    id => 23
});

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which this profile is assigned to.

$provider->delete({
    user => $user
});

It is recommended that you use this key, rather than setting the foreign key column manually in case it changes later.

get_by_id

Arguments: $id

Returns a Mango::Profile object matching the specified id.

my $profile = $provider->get_by_id(23);

Returns undef if no matching profile can be found.

Arguments: \%filter, \%options

Returns a list of Mango::Profile objects in list context, or a Mango::Iterator in scalar context matching the specified filter.

my @profiles = $provider->search({
    last_name => 'A%'
});

my $iterator = $provider->search({
    last_name => 'A%'
});

In addition to using the column names, the following special keys are available:

user

This can be a user id, or a user object for which roles are assigned to.

my @profiles = $provider->search({
    user => $user
});

my $profiles = $provider->search({
    user => $user
});

See "ATTRIBUTES" in DBIx::Class::Resultset for a list of other possible options.

update

Arguments: $profile

Sets the 'updated' column to DateTime->now and saves any changes made to the profile back to the underlying store.

my $profile = $provider->create(\%data);
$profile->first_name('Christopher');

$provider->update($profile);
