Supported databases: SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Early versions tested on: SQLite. CAVEATS It is often not a good idea to expose your database schema directly as API. FUNCTIONS gen_read_dbi_table_func Usage: gen_read_dbi_table_func(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Generate function (and its metadata) to read DBI table. The generated function acts like a simple single table SQL SELECT query, featuring filtering, ordering, and paging, but using arguments as the 'query language'. The generated function is suitable for exposing a table data from an API function. Please see Perinci::Sub::Gen::AccessTable's documentation for more details on what arguments the generated function will accept. This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * case_insensitive_search => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will perform case-insensitive search. * custom_filters => *hash* Supply custom filters. A hash of filter name and definitions. Filter name will be used as generated function's argument and must not clash with other arguments. Filter definition is a hash containing these keys: *meta* (hash, argument metadata), *code*, *fields* (array, list of table fields related to this field). Code will be called for each record to be filtered and will be supplied ($r, $v, $opts) where $v is the filter value (from the function argument) and $r the hashref record value. $opts is currently empty. Code should return true if record satisfies the filter. * custom_search => *code* Supply custom searching for generated function. Code will be supplied ($r, $q, $opts) where $r is the record (hashref), $q is the search term (from the function argument 'q'), and $opts is {ci=>0|1}. Code should return true if record matches search term. * dbh => *obj* DBI database handle. * default_arg_values => *hash* Specify defaults for generated function's arguments. Can be used to supply default filters, e.g. # limit years for credit card expiration date { "year.min" => $curyear, "year.max" => $curyear+10, } * default_detail => *bool* Supply default 'detail' value for function arg spec. * default_fields => *str* Supply default 'fields' value for function arg spec. * default_random => *bool* Supply default 'random' value in generated function's metadata. * default_result_limit => *int* Supply default 'result_limit' value in generated function's metadata. * default_sort => *array[str]* Supply default 'sort' value in generated function's metadata. * default_with_field_names => *bool* Supply default 'with_field_names' value in generated function's metadata. * description => *str* Generated function's description. * detail_aliases => *hash* * enable_field_selection => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support field selection (the `fields` argument). * enable_filtering => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support filtering (the FIELD, FIELD.is, FIELD.min, etc arguments). * enable_ordering => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support ordering (the `sort` & `random` arguments). * enable_paging => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support paging (the `result_limit` & `result_start` arguments). * enable_random_ordering => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support random ordering (the `random` argument). Ordering must also be enabled ("enable_ordering"). * enable_search => *bool* (default: 1) Decide whether generated function will support searching (argument q). Filtering must also be enabled ("enable_filtering"). * extra_args => *hash* Extra arguments for the generated function. * fields_aliases => *hash* * hooks => *hash* Supply hooks. You can instruct the generated function to execute codes in various stages by using hooks. Currently available hooks are: "before_parse_query", "after_parse_query", "before_fetch_data", "after_fetch_data", "before_return". Hooks will be passed the function arguments as well as one or more additional ones. All hooks will get "_stage" (name of stage) and "_func_res" (function arguments, but as hash reference so you can modify it). "after_parse_query" and later hooks will also get "_parse_res" (parse result). "before_fetch_data" and later will also get "_query". "after_fetch_data" and later will also get "_data". "before_return" will also get "_func_res" (the enveloped response to be returned to user). Hook should return nothing or a false value on success. It can abort execution of the generated function if it returns an envelope response (an array). On that case, the function will return with this return value. * install => *bool* (default: 1) Whether to install generated function (and metadata). By default, generated function will be installed to the specified (or caller's) package, as well as its generated metadata into %SPEC. Set this argument to false to skip installing. * langs => *array[str]* (default: ["en_US"]) Choose language for function metadata. This function can generate metadata containing text from one or more languages. For example if you set 'langs' to ['en_US', 'id_ID'] then the generated function metadata might look something like this: { v => 1.1, args => { random => { summary => 'Random order of results', # English "summary.alt.lang.id_ID" => "Acak urutan hasil", # Indonesian ... }, ... }, ... } * name => *str* Generated function's name, e.g. `myfunc`. * package => *str* Generated function's package, e.g. `My::Package`. This is needed mostly for installing the function. You usually don't need to supply this if you set "install" to false. If not specified, caller's package will be used by default. * query_aliases => *hash* * random_aliases => *hash* * result_limit_aliases => *hash* * result_start_aliases => *hash* * sort_aliases => *hash* * summary => *str* Generated function's summary. * table_name* => *str* DBI table name. * table_spec* => *hash* Table specification. Just like Perinci::Sub::Gen::AccessTable's table_spec, except that each field specification can have a key called "db_field" to specify the database field (if different). Currently this is required. Future version will be able to generate table_spec from table schema if table_spec is not specified. * with_field_names_aliases => *hash* * word_search => *bool* (default: 0) Decide whether generated function will perform word searching instead of string searching. For example, if search term is 'pine' and field value is 'green pineapple', search will match if word_search=false, but won't match under word_search. This will not have effect under 'custom_search'. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: A hash containing generated function, metadata (hash) FAQ HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
