Class::DataStore 0.07

Class::DataStore is a Perl module for generic OO data storage/retrieval. SYNOPSIS my %values = ( one => 1, two => 2 ); my $store = Class::DataStore->new( %values ); # using get/set methods $store->set( three, 3 ); my $three = $store->get( three ); # using AUTOLOAD method $store->four( 4 ); my $four = $store->four; my @four = $store->four; # returns a list my $exists = $store->exists( three ); # $exists = 1 my $data_hashref = $store->dump; $store->clear; Class::DataStore implements a simple storage system for object data. This data can be accessed via get/set methods and AUTOLOAD. AUTOLOAD calls are not added to the symbol table, so using get/set will be faster. Using AUTOLOAD also means that you will not be able to store data with a key that is already used by a instance method, such as "get" or "exists". This module was written originally as part of a website framework that was used for the Democratic National Committee website in 2004. Some of the implementations here, such as get() optionally returning a list if called in array context, reflect the way this module was originally used for building web applications. Class::DataStore is most useful when subclassed. To preserve the AUTOLOAD functionality, be sure to add the following when setting up the subclass: use base Class::DataStore; *AUTOLOAD = &Class::DataStore::AUTOLOAD; This module is also a useful add-on for modules that need quick and simple data storage, e.g. to store configuration data: $self->{_config} = Class::Datastore->new( $config_data ); sub config { return $_[0]->{_config}; } my $server = $self->config->server; my $sender = $self->config->get( sender );.
