NAME

Jifty::Action::Record -- An action tied to a record in the database.

DESCRIPTION

Represents a web-based action that is a create, update, or delete of a Jifty::Record object. This automatically populates the arguments method of Jifty::Action so that you don't need to bother. To actually use this class, you probably want to inherit from one of Jifty::Action::Record::Create, Jifty::Action::Record::Update, or Jifty::Action::Record::Delete and override the record_class method.

METHODS

record

Access to the underlying Jifty::Record object for this action is through the record accessor.

record_class

This method can either be overridden to return a string specifying the name of the record class, or the name of the class can be passed to the constructor.

new PARAMHASH

Construct a new Jifty::Action::Record (as mentioned in Jifty::Action, this should only be called by framework->new_action. The record value, if provided in the PARAMHASH, will be used to load the "record"; otherwise, the parimary keys will be loaded from the action's argument values, and the "record" loaded from those primary keys.

arguments

Overrides the "arguments" in Jifty::Action method, to automatically provide a form field for every writable attribute of the underlying "record".

_canonicalize_argument ARGUMENT_NAME

Canonicalizes the argument named ARGUMENT_NAME. This routine actually just makes sure we canonicalize dates and then passes on to the superclass.

_canonicalize_date DATE

Parses and returns the date using Time::ParseDate.

take_action

Throws an error unless it is overridden; use Jifty::Action::Record::Create, ::Update, or ::Delete
