=head1 NAME

C4::ItemType - objects from the itemtypes table

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use C4::ItemType;
    my @itemtypes = C4::ItemType->all;
    print join("\n", map { $_->description } @itemtypes), "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class represent a row in the C<itemtypes> table.

Currently, the bare minimum for using this as a read-only data source has
been implemented.  The API was designed to make it easy to transition to
an ORM later on.

=head2 Class Methods

=cut

=head3 C4::ItemType->new(\%opts)

Given a hashref, a new (in-memory) C4::ItemType object will be instantiated.
The database is not touched.

=cut

sub new {
    my ($class, $opts) = @_;
    bless $opts => $class;
}




=head3 C4::ItemType->all

This returns all the itemtypes as objects.  By default they're ordered by
C<description>.

=cut

sub all {
    my ($class) = @_;
    my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;

    my @itypes;
    for ( @{$dbh->selectall_arrayref(
        "SELECT * FROM itemtypes ORDER BY description", { Slice => {} })} )
    {
        utf8::encode($_->{description});
        push @itypes, $class->new($_);
    }
    return @itypes;
}




=head3 C4::ItemType->get

Return the itemtype indicated by the itemtype given as argument, as
an object.

=cut

sub get {
    my ($class, $itemtype) = @_;
    my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh;

    my $data = $dbh->selectrow_hashref(
        "SELECT * FROM itemtypes WHERE itemtype = ?", undef, $itemtype
    );
    if ( $data->{description} ) {
        utf8::encode($data->{description});
    }
    return $class->new($data);
}
