DESCRIPTION

This package provides a minimalist framework for persisting objects (i.e. class instances) with as little effort as possible. This framework relies on the Zing toolkit which provides pluggable storage and serialization options.

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:

Nano::Types

ATTRIBUTES

This package has the following attributes:

env

env(Env)

This attribute is read-only, accepts (Env) values, and is optional.

METHODS

This package implements the following methods:

domain

domain(Str $name) : Domain

The domain method returns a Zing::Domain object for the ID provided.

• domain example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $domain = $nano->domain('changelog');
  

dump

dump(Object $object) : HashRef

The dump method returns a serialized hash representation for the object provided.

• dump example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $rachel = $nano->find('rachel');
  
    my $dump = $nano->dump($rachel);
  

find

find(Str $name) : Node

The find method finds, inflates, and returns a prior persisted object for the ID provided.

• find example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $phoebe = $nano->find('phoebe');
  

hash

hash(Str $name) : Str

The hash method returns a SHA-1 digest for the string provided.

• hash example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $email = '[email protected]';
  
    $nano->hash($email);
  

keyval

keyval(Str $name) : KeyVal

The keyval method returns a Zing::KeyVal object for the ID provided.

• keyval example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $keyval = $nano->keyval('rachel');
  

name

name(Object $object) : Str

The name method returns the class name for the object provided.

• name example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $rachel = $nano->find('rachel');
  
    my $name = $nano->name($rachel);
  

object

object(HashRef $object) : Object

The object method returns an object derived from a prior serialization representation.

• object example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $new_rachel = $nano->object({
      '$type' => 'node',
      '$name' => 'Person',
      '$data' => {
        'id' => 'rachel',
        'name' => 'rachel',
        'nano' => {
          '$skip' => 1
        },
        'friends' => {
          '$skip' => 1
        },
      },
    });
  

reify

reify(Str $name, HashRef $data) : Object

The reify method constructs an object from the class name and data provided.

• reify example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $new_rachel = $nano->reify('Person', {
      id => 'rachel',
      name => 'rachel',
    });
  

table

table(Str $name) : Table

The table method returns a Zing::Table object for the ID provided.

• table example #1

    my $nano = Nano->new;
  
    my $rachel = $nano->find('rachel');
  
    my $table = $nano->table($rachel->friends->id);
