# Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class::User(3pm)

The backing user class for the Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class storage module.

## NAME

Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class::User - The backing user class for the Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class storage module.

## VERSION

This documentation refers to version 0.1506.

## SYNOPSIS

Internal - not used directly, please see Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class for details on how to use this module. If you need more information than is present there, read the source.

## DESCRIPTION

The Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class::User class implements user storage connected to an underlying DBIx::Class schema object.

## SUBROUTINES / METHODS

### new

Constructor.

### load ( $authinfo, $c )

Retrieves a user from storage using the information provided in `$authinfo`.

### supported\_features

Indicates the features supported by this class.  These are currently Roles and Session.

### roles

Returns an array of roles associated with this user, if roles are configured for this user class.

### for\_session

Returns a serialized user for storage in the session.

### from\_session

Revives a serialized user from storage in the session.

### get ( $fieldname )

Returns the value of `$fieldname` for the user in question.  Roughly translates to a call to the DBIx::Class::Row's get\_column( `$fieldname` ) routine.

### get\_object

Retrieves the DBIx::Class object that corresponds to this user

### obj (method)

Synonym for get\_object

### auto\_create

This is called when the auto\_create\_user option is turned on in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication and a user matching the authinfo provided is not found. By default, this will call the `"auto_create()"` method of the resultset associated with this object. It is up to you to implement that method.

### auto\_update

This is called when the auto\_update\_user option is turned on in Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication. Note that by default the DBIx::Class store uses every field in the authinfo hash to match the user. This means any information you provide with the intent to update must be ignored during the user search process. Otherwise the information will most likely cause the user record to not be found. To ignore fields in the search process, you have to add the fields you wish to update to the 'ignore\_fields\_in\_find' authinfo element.  Alternately, you can use one of the advanced row retrieval methods (searchargs or resultset).

By default, auto\_update will call the `"auto_update()"` method of the DBIx::Class::Row object associated with the user. It is up to you to implement that method (probably in your schema file)

### AUTOLOAD

Delegates method calls to the underlying user row.

### can

Delegates handling of the `"can"` method to the underlying user row.

## BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

None known currently, please email the author if you find any.
