DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::IP: Auto-create netaddr::ip objects from columns.

SYNOPSIS

Load this component and declare columns as \s-1IP\s0 addresses with the appropriate format.

    package Host;
    _\|_PACKAGE_\|_->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::IP Core/);
    _\|_PACKAGE_\|_->add_columns(
        ip_address => {
            data_type => 'bigint',
            is_nullable => 0,
            is_ip => 1,
            ip_format => 'numeric',
        }
    );

    package Network;
    _\|_PACKAGE_\|_->load_components(qw/InflateColumn::IP Core/);
    _\|_PACKAGE_\|_->add_columns(
        address => {
            data_type => 'varchar',
            size        => 18
            is_nullable => 0,
            is_ip => 1,
            ip_format => 'cidr',
        }
    );

Then you can treat the specified column as a NetAddr::IP object.

print 'IP address: ', $host->ip_address->addr; print 'Address type: ', $host->ip_address->iptype;

DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::IP supports a limited amount of auto-detection of the format based on the column type. If the type begins with \*(C`int\*(C' or \*(C`bigint\*(C', it's assumed to be numeric, while \*(C`inet\*(C' and \*(C`cidr\*(C' (as used by e.g. PostgreSQL) are assumed to be \*(C`cidr\*(C' format.

METHODS

ip_class

Gets/sets the address class that the columns should be inflated into. The default class is NetAddr::IP.

ip_format

Gets/sets the name of the method used to deflate the address for the database. This must return a value suitable for \*(C`$ip_class-\*(C'new(); The default format is \*(C`addr\*(C', which returns the address in dotted-quad notation. See \*(L"Methods\*(R" in NetAddr::IP for suitable values.

register_column

Chains with \*(L"register_column\*(R" in DBIx::Class::Row, and sets up \s-1IP\s0 address columns appropriately. This would not normally be called directly by end users.
