Public Class Methods

$meths = Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Parts::Tile->my_meths

(@meths || $meths_aref) = Bric::Biz::Asset::BusinessParts::Tile->my_meths(TRUE)

my (@meths || $meths_aref) = Bric::Biz:::Asset::BusinessParts::Tile->my_meths(0, TRUE)

Returns an anonymous hash of introspection data for this object. If called with a true argument, it will return an ordered list or anonymous array of introspection data. If a second true argument is passed instead of a first, then a list or anonymous array of introspection data will be returned for properties that uniquely identify an object (excluding id, which is assumed).

Each hash key is the name of a property or attribute of the object. The value for a hash key is another anonymous hash containing the following keys:

• name - The name of the property or attribute. Is the same as the hash key when an anonymous hash is returned.

• disp - The display name of the property or attribute.

• get_meth - A reference to the method that will retrieve the value of the property or attribute.

• get_args - An anonymous array of arguments to pass to a call to get_meth in order to retrieve the value of the property or attribute.

• set_meth - A reference to the method that will set the value of the property or attribute.

• set_args - An anonymous array of arguments to pass to a call to set_meth in order to set the value of the property or attribute.

• type - The type of value the property or attribute contains. There are only three types:

  short

  date

  blob

• len - If the value is a 'short' value, this hash key contains the length of the field.

• search - The property is searchable via the list() and list_ids() methods.

• req - The property or attribute is required.

• props - An anonymous hash of properties used to display the property or attribute. Possible keys include:

  type

  The display field type. Possible values are

  text

  textarea

  password

  hidden

  radio

  checkbox

  select

• length - The Length, in letters, to display a text or password field.

• maxlength - The maximum length of the property or value - usually defined by the SQL DDL.

• rows - The number of rows to format in a textarea field.

• cols - The number of columns to format in a textarea field.

• vals - An anonymous hash of key/value pairs reprsenting the values and display names to use in a select list.
