NAME¶
DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut - Shortcuts to common searches
(->order_by, etc)
SYNOPSIS¶
package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::Foo;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw{Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut});
...
1;
And then elsewhere:
# let's say you grab a resultset from somewhere else
my $foo_rs = get_common_rs()
# but I'd like it sorted!
->order_by({ -desc => 'power_level' })
# and without those other dumb columns
->columns([qw/cromulence_ratio has_jimmies_rustled/])
# but get rid of those duplicates
->distinct
# and put those straight into hashrefs, please
->hri
# but only give me the first 3
->rows(3);
DESCRIPTION¶
This helper provides convenience methods for resultset modifications.
See "NOTE" in DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet for a nice way to apply
it to your entire schema.
SEE ALSO¶
This component is actually a number of other components put together. It will
get more components added to it over time. If you are worried about all the
extra methods you won't use or something, using the individual shortcuts is a
simple solution. All the documentation will remain here, but the individual
components are:
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::HRI
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::OrderBy
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::OrderByMagic
(adds the "magic string" functionality to
"DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::OrderBy"))
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::GroupBy
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Distinct
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Rows
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Limit
(inherits from
"DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Rows")
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::HasRows
(inherits from
"DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Rows")
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Columns
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::AddColumns
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Page
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::LimitedPage
(inherits from "DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Page"
and DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::Rows)
- •
- DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Shortcut::ResultsExist
METHODS¶
distinct¶
$foo_rs->distinct
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { distinct => 1 });
group_by¶
$foo_rs->group_by([ qw/ some column names /])
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { group_by => [ qw/ some column names /] });
order_by¶
$foo_rs->order_by({ -desc => 'col1' });
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { order_by => { -desc => 'col1' } });
You can also specify the order as a "magic string", e.g.:
$foo_rs->order_by('!col1') # ->order_by({ -desc => 'col1' })
$foo_rs->order_by('col1,col2') # ->order_by([qw(col1 col2)])
$foo_rs->order_by('col1,!col2') # ->order_by([{ -asc => 'col1' }, { -desc => 'col2' }])
$foo_rs->order_by(qw(col1 col2)) # ->order_by([qw(col1 col2)])
Can mix it all up as well:
$foo_rs->order_by(qw(col1 col2 col3), 'col4,!col5')
hri¶
$foo_rs->hri;
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, {
result_class => 'DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator'
});
rows¶
$foo_rs->rows(10);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { rows => 10 })
limit¶
This is an alias for "rows".
$foo_rs->limit(10);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->rows(10);
has_rows¶
A lighter way to check the resultset contains any data rather than calling
"$rs->count".
page¶
$foo_rs->page(2);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { page => 2 })
limited_page¶
$foo_rs->limited_page(2, 3);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { page => 2, rows => 3 })
columns¶
$foo_rs->columns([qw/ some column names /]);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { columns => [qw/ some column names /] });
add_columns¶
$foo_rs->add_columns([qw/ some column names /]);
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { '+columns' => [qw/ some column names /] });
prefetch¶
$foo_rs->prefetch('bar');
# equivalent to...
$foo_rs->search(undef, { prefetch => 'bar' });
results_exist¶
my $results_exist = $schema->resultset('Bar')->search({...})->results_exist;
Uses "EXISTS" SQL function to check if the query would return
anything. Possibly lighter weight than the much more common "foo() if
$rs->count" idiom.
