NAME DBIx::Class::DigestColumns - Automatic digest columns SYNOPSIS In your "DBIx::Class" table class: __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/DigestColumns .../); __PACKAGE__->digest_columns(qw/ password /); __PACKAGE__->digest_algorithm('MD5'); __PACKAGE__->digest_encoding('base64'); Note that the component needs to be loaded before Core. DESCRIPTION This "DBIx::Class" component can be used to automatically insert a message digest of selected columns. By default DigestColumns will use "Digest::MD5" to insert a 128-bit hexadecimal message digest of the column value. The length of the inserted string will be 32 and it will only contain characters from this set: '0'..'9' and 'a'..'f'. If you would like to use a specific digest module to create your message digest, you can set "digest_algorithm": __PACKAGE__->digest_algorithm('SHA-1'); METHODS digest_columns(@columns) Takes a list of columns to be convert to a message digest during insert. __PACKAGE__->digest_columns(qw/ password /); digest_algorithm($classname) Takes the name of a digest algorithm to be used to calculate the message digest. __PACKAGE__->digest_algorithm('SHA-1'); Supported digest algorithms are: MD5 MD4 MD2 SHA-1 SHA-256 SHA-384 SHA-512 CRC-16 CRC-32 CRC-CCITT HMAC-SHA-1 HMAC-MD5 Whirlpool Adler-32 digest_algorithm defaults to MD5. digest_encoding($encoding) Selects the encoding to use for the message digest. __PACKAGE__->digest_encoding('base64'); Possilbe encoding schemes are: binary hex base64 digest_encoding defaults to hex. digest_auto() __PACKAGE__->digest_auto( 1 ); Turns on and off automatic digest columns. When on, this feature makes all UPDATEs and INSERTs automatically insert a message digest of selected columns. The default is for digest_auto is to be on. EXTENDED METHODS The following "DBIx::Class::Row" methods are extended by this module:- insert update SEE ALSO "DBIx::Class", "Digest" AUTHOR Tom Kirkpatrick (tkp) LICENSE You may distribute this code under the same terms as Perl itself.
