DBIx::Class::EncodedCoUser(Contributed Perl DocumDBIx::Class::EncodedColumn(3)NAMEDBIx::Class::EncodedColumn - Automatically encode columns
SYNOPSIS
In your DBIx::Class Result class (sometimes erroneously referred to as
the 'table' class):
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/EncodedColumn ... Core/);
#Digest encoder with hex format and SHA-1 algorithm
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
'password' => {
data_type => 'CHAR',
size => 40,
encode_column => 1,
encode_class => 'Digest',
encode_args => {algorithm => 'SHA-1', format => 'hex'},
}
#SHA-1 / hex encoding / generate check method
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
'password' => {
data_type => 'CHAR',
size => 40 + 10,
encode_column => 1,
encode_class => 'Digest',
encode_args => {algorithm => 'SHA-1', format => 'hex', salt_length => 10},
encode_check_method => 'check_password',
}
#MD5 / base64 encoding / generate check method
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
'password' => {
data_type => 'CHAR',
size => 22,
encode_column => 1,
encode_class => 'Digest',
encode_args => {algorithm => 'MD5', format => 'base64'},
encode_check_method => 'check_password',
}
#Eksblowfish bcrypt / cost of 8/ no key_nul / generate check method
__PACKAGE__->add_columns(
'password' => {
data_type => 'CHAR',
size => 59,
encode_column => 1,
encode_class => 'Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt',
encode_args => { key_nul => 0, cost => 8 },
encode_check_method => 'check_password',
}
In your application code:
#updating the value.
$row->password('plaintext');
my $digest = $row->password;
#checking against an existing value with a check_method
$row->check_password('old_password'); #true
$row->password('new_password');
$row->check_password('new_password'); #returns true
$row->check_password('old_password'); #returns false
Note: The component needs to be loaded before Core.
DESCRIPTION
This DBIx::Class component can be used to automatically encode a
column's contents whenever the value of that column is set.
This module is similar to the existing DBIx::Class::DigestColumns, but
there is some key differences:
"DigestColumns" performs the encode operation on "insert" and "update",
and "EncodedColumn" performs the operation when the value is set, or on
"new".
"DigestColumns" supports only algorithms of the Digest family.
"EncodedColumn" employs a set of thin wrappers around different cipher
modules to provide support for any cipher you wish to use and wrappers
are very simple to write (typically less than 30 lines).
"EncodedColumn" supports having more than one encoded column per table
and each column can use a different cipher.
"Encode" adds only one item to the namespace of the object utilizing it
("_column_encoders").
There is, unfortunately, some features that "EncodedColumn" doesn't
support. "DigestColumns" supports changing certain options at runtime,
as well as the option to not automatically encode values on set. The
author of this module found these options to be non-essential and
omitted them by design.
Options added to add_column
If any one of these options is present the column will be treated as a
digest column and all of the defaults will be applied to the rest of
the options.
encode_enable => 1
Enable automatic encoding of column values. If this option is not set
to true any other options will become no-ops.
encode_check_method => $method_name
By using the encode_check_method attribute when you declare a column
you can create a check method for that column. The check method accepts
a plain text string, and returns a boolean that indicates whether the
digest of the provided value matches the current value.
encode_class
The class to use for encoding. Available classes are:
"Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt" - uses
DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn::Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt and requires
Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt to be installed
"Digest" - uses DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn::Digest requires Digest to
be installed as well as the algorithm required (Digest::SHA,
Digest::Whirlpool, etc)
"Crypt::OpenPGP" - DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn::Crypt::OpenPGP and
requires Crypt::OpenPGP to be installed
Please see the relevant class's documentation for information about the
specific arguments accepted by each and make sure you include the
encoding algorithm (e.g. Crypt::OpenPGP) in your application's
requirements.
EXTENDED METHODS
The following DBIx::Class::ResultSource method is extended:
register_column - Handle the options described above.
The following DBIx::Class::Row methods are extended by this module:
new - Encode the columns on new() so that copy and create DWIM.
set_column - Encode values whenever column is set.
