Tangram::Type::Dump::YAML - serialise fields of an object via YAML to a column

SYNOPSIS

   use Tangram::Core;
   use Tangram::Type::Dump::YAML;

   $schema = Tangram::Schema->new(
      classes => { NaturalPerson => { fields => {

      yaml =>
      {
         diary => # diary is a perl hash 
         {
            col => 'diarydata',
            sql => 'TEXT', # better be large enough!  :)

            # YAML dumper control, values here are defaults
            options => {
                Indent => 2,
                UseHeader => 1,
                UseVersion => 1,
                SortKeys => 1,
                UseCode => 0,
                # ... etc, see the YAML man page for more
            },

      }

      }}});

DESCRIPTION

Tangram::Type::Dump::YAML is very much like Tangram::Type::Dump::Perl, only serialisation is achieved via YAML and not Data::Dumper.

This is currently untested, but is known to have bugs, largely to do with the fact that YAML can't serialise blessed references (see <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=4784>).
