NAME

DBIx::Class::CustomPrefetch - Custom prefetches for DBIx::Class

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Class onle allows joins for prefetches. But sometimes you can't use JOIN for prefetch. E.g. for prefetching many related objects to resultset with paging.

Also you can use this module to create cross-database prefetches.

This module provides other logic for prefetching data to resultsets.

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Schema::Foo;

__PACKAGE__->load_components( qw(Core CustomPrefetch) );
__PACKAGE__->add_column( qw(id artist_id) );
__PACKAGE__->resultset_class( 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet::CustomPrefetch' );
__PACKAGE__->custom_relation( artist => sub { MyOtherResultSetClass->new } => {
    'foreign.id' => 'self.artist_id'
});

And your code:

my $resultset = $schema->resultset('Foo')->search( undef, { rows => 10 } );
foreach ($resultset->all) {
    say $_->artist->name;
}

will make only two SQL requests:

SELECT id, artist_id FROM foo LIMIT 10;
SELECT * FROM artists WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89);

METHODS

custom_relation

Makes IN relation. In can be has_one, might_have or many_to_many

Args: $relation_name, $resultset_callback, $condition
