Hi monks.

I'm just getting to grips with DBIx::Class and I'm trying to get it to work with jsonb data types in PostrgeSQL. I've got a simple select statement that returns a json string that I convert into a hash to pass to a template.

Simplified database: 
 Column |  Type   |                      Modifiers                    
+   
--------+---------+---------------------------------------------------
+---
 id     | integer | not null default nextval('details_id_seq'::regclas
+s)
 data   | jsonb   |

Dancer2 code: 
...
my $rs = schema->resultset('Detail')
                ->find({id => route_parameters->get('code')});
    if ($rs)
    {
        #return to_dumper(from_json($rs->data));
        template 'form', {'form' => from_json($rs->data)};
...

Decoded json: $VAR1 = { 'order_code' => '0165-02675-4565', 'email' => 
+'foo@test.com', 'price' => '15', 'title' => 'Mt Thing XYZ' };

Is there any way I can run queries based on keys/values in the json column using DBIx::Class, for instance where email = 'foo@...', or specifiy which key/vals I want to return?

I am doing this as I need a way to handle potentially unstructured data and I am restricted to using Postgres. I'm quite new to DBIx::Class, maybe this isn't the best tool to use in this case but I would appreciate any help.

Just found DBIx::NoSQL, which looks like it might be what I need but the docs say it's still in beta which is a concern.
