Koha::Object - Koha Object base class
use Koha::Object;
my $object = Koha::Object->new({ property1 => $property1, property2 => $property2, etc... } );
This class must always be subclassed.
my $object = Koha::Object->new(); my $object = Koha::Object->new($attributes);
Note that this cannot be used to retrieve record from the DB.
my $object = Koha::Object->_new_from_dbic($dbic_row);
Saves the object in storage. If the object is new, it will be created. If the object previously existed, it will be updated.
Returns: $self if the store was a success undef if the store failed
A shortcut for set + store in one call.
Removes the object from storage.
Returns: The item object if deletion was a success The DBIX::Class error if deletion failed
$object->set( { property1 => $property1, property2 => $property2, property3 => $propery3, } );
Enables multiple properties to be set at once
Returns: 1 if all properties were set. 0 if one or more properties do not exist. undef if all properties exist but a different error prevents one or more properties from being set.
If one or more of the properties do not exist, no properties will be set.
$object->set_or_blank( { property1 => $property1, property2 => $property2, property3 => $propery3, } );
If not listed in $properties_hashref, the property will be set to the default value defined at DB level, or nulled.
Returns an unblessed representation of object.
my @messages = @{ $object->object_messages };
Returns the (probably non-fatal) messages that were recorded on the object.
try {
<some action that might fail>
}
catch {
if ( <fatal condition> ) {
Koha::Exception->throw...
}
# This is a non fatal error, notify the caller
$self->add_message({ message => $error, type => 'error' });
}
return $self;
Adds a message.
Returns an unblessed representation of the object, suitable for JSON output.
my $whitelist = $object->prefetch_whitelist()
Returns a hash of prefetchable subs and the type they return.
my $object_for_api = $object->to_api(
{
[ embed => {
items => {
children => {
holds => {,
children => {
...
}
}
}
},
library => {
...
}
},
public => 0|1,
...
]
}
);
Returns a representation of the object, suitable for API output.
my $mapping = $object->to_api_mapping;
Generic method that returns the attribute name mappings required to render the object on the API.
Note: this only returns an empty hashref. Each class should have its own mapping returned.
my $string_map = $object->strings_map($params);
Generic method that returns the string map for coded attributes.
Return should be a hashref keyed on database field name with the values being hashrefs containing 'str', 'type' and optionally 'category'.
This is then used in to_api to render the _strings embed when requested.
Note: this only returns an empty hashref. Each class should have its own mapping returned.
my @public_read_list = @{$object->public_read_list};
Generic method that returns the list of database columns that are allowed to be passed to render objects on the public API.
Note: this only returns an empty arrayref. Each class should have its own implementation.
my @unredact_list = @{$object->unredact_list};
Generic method that returns the list of database columns that are allowed to be passed to render objects on the API when the user making the request should not ordinarily have unrestricted access to the data (as returned by the is_accesible method).
Note: this only returns an empty arrayref. Each class should have its own implementation.
my $mapping = $object->from_api_mapping;
Generic method that returns the attribute name mappings so the data that comes from the API is correctly renamed to match what is required for the DB.
my $object = Koha::Object->new_from_api;
my $object = Koha::Object->new_from_api( $attrs );
Creates a new object, mapping the API attribute names to the ones on the DB schema.
my $object = Koha::Object->new(...);
$object->set_from_api( $attrs )
Sets the object's attributes mapping API attribute names to the ones on the DB schema.
my $attributes = attributes_from_api( $params );
Returns the passed params, converted from API naming into the model.
my $everything_into_one_hashref = $object->unblessed_all_relateds
The unblessed method only retrieves column' values for the column of the object. In a *few* cases we want to retrieve the information of all the prefetched data.
Returns the internal DBIC Row object
Returns an arrayref of the table columns
The autoload method is used only to get and set values for an objects properties.
This method must be defined in the child class. The value is the name of the DBIC resultset. For example, for borrowers, the _type method will return "Borrower".
if ( $object->is_accessible ) { ... }
Stub method that is expected to be overloaded (if required) by implementing classes.
