NAME¶

RT::Client::REST::Attachment - attachment object representation.

VERSION¶

version 0.72

SYNOPSIS¶

  my $attachments = $ticket->attachments;
  my $count = $attachments->count;
  print "There are $count attachments.\n";
  my $iterator = $attachments->get_iterator;
  while (my $att = &$iterator) {
      print "Id: ", $att->id, "; Subject: ", $att->subject, "\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION¶

An attachment is a second-class citizen, as it does not exist (at least from the current REST protocol implementation) by itself. At the moment, it is always associated with a ticket (see parent_id attribute). Thus, you will rarely retrieve an attachment by itself; instead, you should use "attachments()" method of RT::Client::REST::Ticket object to get an iterator for all attachments for that ticket.

ATTRIBUTES¶

id

Numeric ID of the attachment.

creator_id

Numeric ID of the user who created the attachment.

parent_id

Numeric ID of the object the attachment is associated with. This is not a proper attribute of the attachment as specified by REST -- it is simply to store the ID of the RT::Client::REST::Ticket object this attachment belongs to.

subject

Subject of the attachment.

content_type

Content type.

file_name

File name (if any).

transaction_id

Numeric ID of the RT::Client::REST::Transaction object this attachment is associated with.

message_id

Message ID.

created

Time when the attachment was created

content

Actual content of the attachment.

headers

Headers (not parsed), if any.

parent

Parent (not sure what this is yet).

content_encoding

Content encoding, if any.

METHODS¶

RT::Client::REST::Attachment is a read-only object, so you cannot "store()" it. Also, because it is a second-class citizen, you cannot "search()" or "count()" it -- use "attachments()" method provided by RT::Client::REST::Ticket.

retrieve

To retrieve an attachment, attributes id and parent_id must be set.

INTERNAL METHODS¶

can

Wraps the normal can() call, to exclude unsupported methods from parent.

rt_type

Returns 'attachment'.

CREATING ATTACHMENTS¶

Currently RT does not allow creating attachments via their API.
