[jifty-devel] Defining a virtual column

[Carlos Arenas]

hello again. as promised, i have more questions...

i am creating a User model with first_name and last_name columns. i
would also like to create a virtual full_name column. so far i have:

column full_name =>
is virtual,
;

but how do i define its value as "first_name.' '.last_name"? i
suspect "defer" might be involved, but i could not find any
documentation or example of defer when applied to the same class.

can someone please give me push in the right direction? thanks.

Hi,

You just create a method:

sub full_name { $_[0]->first_name .' '. $_[0]->last_name }
