30 =head1 NAME
32 C4::Category - objects from the categories table
34 =head1 SYNOPSIS
36 use C4::Category;
37 my @categories = C4::Category->all;
38 print join("\n", map { $_->description } @categories), "\n";
40 =head1 DESCRIPTION
42 Objects of this class represent a row in the C<categories> table.
44 Currently, the bare minimum for using this as a read-only data source has
45 been implemented. The API was designed to make it easy to transition to
46 an ORM later on.

50 =head2 Class Methods
52 =cut
54 =head3 C4::Category->new(\%opts)
56 Given a hashref, a new (in-memory) C4::Category object will be instantiated.
57 The database is not touched.

61 sub new {
62 my ($class, $opts) = @_;
63 bless $opts => $class;
69 =head3 C4::Category->all
71 This returns all the categories as objects. By default they're ordered by
72 C<description>.
