package DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base; use strict; use warnings; use Scalar::Util (); use base qw/DBIx::Class/; =head1 NAME DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base - Inter-table relationships =head1 SYNOPSIS =head1 DESCRIPTION This class provides methods to describe the relationships between the tables in your database model. These are the "bare bones" relationships methods, for predefined ones, look in L. =head1 METHODS =head2 add_relationship =over 4 =item Arguments: 'relname', 'Foreign::Class', $cond, $attrs =back __PACKAGE__->add_relationship('relname', 'Foreign::Class', $cond, $attrs); The condition needs to be an L-style representation of the join between the tables. When resolving the condition for use in a C, keys using the pseudo-table C are resolved to mean "the Table on the other side of the relationship", and values using the pseudo-table C are resolved to mean "the Table this class is representing". Other restrictions, such as by value, sub-select and other tables, may also be used. Please check your database for C parameter support. For example, if you're creating a relationship from C to C, where the C table has a column C containing the ID of the C row: { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' } will result in the C clause author me JOIN book book ON book.author_id = me.id For multi-column foreign keys, you will need to specify a C-to-C mapping for each column in the key. For example, if you're creating a relationship from C to C, where the C table refers to a publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"): { 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id', 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id', } This will result in the C clause: book me JOIN edition edition ON edition.publisher_id = me.publisher_id AND edition.type_id = me.type_id Each key-value pair provided in a hashref will be used as Ced conditions. To add an Ced condition, use an arrayref of hashrefs. See the L documentation for more details. In addition to standard result set attributes, the following attributes are also valid: =over 4 =item join_type Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL join type is valid, e.g. C or C. It will be placed in the SQL command immediately before C. =item proxy An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in the main class. If, for example, you do the following: MyDB::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes', undef, { proxy => [ qw/notes/ ], }); Then, assuming MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do: my $cd = MyDB::Schema::CD->find(1); $cd->notes('Notes go here'); # set notes -- LinerNotes object is # created if it doesn't exist =item accessor Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship. Valid values are C (for when there is only a single related object), C (when there can be many), and C (for when there is a single related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as a column accessor). For C accessors, an add_to_* method is also created, which calls C for the relationship. =item is_foreign_key_constraint If you are using L to create SQL for you and you find that it is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection of when to create constraints. =back =head2 register_relationship =over 4 =item Arguments: $relname, $rel_info =back Registers a relationship on the class. This is called internally by DBIx::Class::ResultSourceProxy to set up Accessors and Proxies. =cut sub register_relationship { } =head2 related_resultset =over 4 =item Arguments: $relationship_name =item Return Value: $related_resultset =back $rs = $cd->related_resultset('artist'); Returns a L for the relationship named $relationship_name. =cut sub related_resultset { my $self = shift; $self->throw_exception("Can't call *_related as class methods") unless ref $self; my $rel = shift; my $rel_obj = $self->relationship_info($rel); $self->throw_exception( "No such relationship ${rel}" ) unless $rel_obj; return $self->{related_resultsets}{$rel} ||= do { my $attrs = (@_ > 1 && ref $_[$#_] eq 'HASH' ? pop(@_) : {}); $attrs = { %{$rel_obj->{attrs} || {}}, %$attrs }; $self->throw_exception( "Invalid query: @_" ) if (@_ > 1 && (@_ % 2 == 1)); my $query = ((@_ > 1) ? {@_} : shift); my $cond = $self->result_source->resolve_condition( $rel_obj->{cond}, $rel, $self ); if (ref $cond eq 'ARRAY') { $cond = [ map { my $hash; foreach my $key (keys %$_) { my $newkey = $key =~ /\./ ?

The search will be restricted to the item or items represented by the L it was called upon. This method can be called on a ResultSet, a Row or a ResultSource class. =cut sub search_related { return shift->related_resultset(shift)->search(@_); } =head2 search_related_rs ( $objects_rs ) = $rs->search_related_rs('relname', $cond, $attrs); This method works exactly the same as search_related, except that it garauntees a restultset, even in list context. =cut sub search_related_rs { return shift->related_resultset(shift)->search_rs(@_); } =head2 count_related $obj->count_related('relname', $cond, $attrs); Returns the count of all the items in the related resultset, restricted by the current item or where conditions.

If called on a L object, it will magically set any foreign key columns of the new object to the related primary key columns of the source object for you. The newly created item will not be saved into your storage until you call L on it. =cut sub new_related { my ($self, $rel, $values, $attrs) = @_; return $self->search_related($rel)->new($values, $attrs); } =head2 create_related my $new_obj = $obj->create_related('relname', \%col_data); Creates a new item, similarly to new_related, and also inserts the item's data into your storage medium.

This is used to associate previously separate objects, for example, to set the correct author for a book, find the Author object, then call set_from_related on the book. This is called internally when you pass existing objects as values to L, or pass an object to a belongs_to acessor. The columns are only set in the local copy of the object, call L to set them in the storage. =cut sub set_from_related { my ($self, $rel, $f_obj) = @_; my $rel_obj = $self->relationship_info($rel); $self->throw_exception( "No such relationship ${rel}" ) unless $rel_obj; my $cond = $rel_obj->{cond}; $self->throw_exception( "set_from_related can only handle a hash condition; the ".

If the first argument is a hash reference, the related object is created first with the column values in the hash. If an object reference is given, just the linking table object is created.

This does a C B to remove the association between the current object and all related objects, then calls C repeatedly to link all the new objects. Note that this means that this method will B delete any objects in the table on the right side of the relation, merely that it will delete the link between them. Due to a mistake in the original implementation of this method, it will also accept a list of objects or hash references. This is B and will be removed in a future version. =head2 remove_from_$rel B relationships.> =over 4 =item Arguments: $obj =back my $role = $schema->resultset('Role')->find(1); $actor->remove_from_roles($role); # removes $role's My::DBIC::Schema::ActorRoles linking table row object Removes the link between the current object and the related object. Note that the related object itself won't be deleted unless you call ->delete() on it. This method just removes the link between the two objects. =head1 AUTHORS Matt S.
