muppet.pl

A script to manipulate muppets!

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use lib file(__FILE__)->dir->parent->subdir('lib')->stringify;

use UR;
use UR::Object::Command::Crud;
use TestEnvCrud;

UR::Object::Command::Crud->create_command_classes(
    target_class => 'Test:Muppet',
    namespace => 'Muppet'
    target_name => 'muppet',

Muppet::Command->execute_with_shell_params_and_exit();

Sub Command Structure

Each CRUD function will get an in memory class created. These classes are used used for the command line interface. Under the update command, each object property will get its own command. If the relationship of the property is 'has many', there will be an add and remove command for the property.
