NAME

       Jifty::DBI::Filter::Truncate - Filter used to enforce max_length column trait

DESCRIPTION

       You do not need to use this filter explicitly. This filter is used internally to enforce
       the "max_length" in Jifty::DBI::Schema restrictions on columns:

         column name =>
             type is 'text',
             max_length is 10;

       In this case, the filter would be automatically added to the column named "name" and any
       value put into the column longer than 10 characters would be truncated to 10 characters.

METHODS

   encode
       This method performs the work of performing truncation, when necessary.
