# Coat::Persistent::Object(3pm)

root object for Coat::Persistent models

## NAME

Coat::Persistent::Object - root object for Coat::Persistent models

## DESCRIPTION

This class is meant to be a default root object for Coat::Persistent models. It provides through inheritance default attributes (that must exist in the underlying table) and default hooks and methods.

## USAGE

You just have to make your models inherit from Coat::Persistent::Object like the following :

```
    package MyModel;
    use Coat;
    use Coat::Persistent;
    extends 'Coat::Persistent::Object';
    1;
```

## ATTRIBUTES

Any model that inherits from this class must wrap a table that owns the following fields:

- **created\_at** : a 'DateTime' field that contains the date when the entry was inserted in the database (automatically updated). This attribute is stored as a DateTime entry and is returned as a Class::Date object.

  - **updated\_at** : a 'DateTime' field that contains the date when the entry was last updated.This attribute is stored as a DateTime entry and is returned as a Class::Date object.
