Name

File::DataClass::ResultSet - Core element methods

Synopsis

use File:DataClass;

$attrs = { result_source_attributes => { schema_attributes => { ... } } };

$result_source = File::DataClass->new( $attrs )->result_source;

$rs = $result_source->resultset( { path => q(path_to_data_file) } );

$result = $rs->search( $hash_ref_of_where_clauses );

for $result_object ($result->next) {
   # Do something with the result object
}

Description

Find, search and update methods for element objects

Configuration and Environment

Defines these attributes

list_class

List class name, defaults to File::DataClass::List

result_class

Result class name, defaults to File::DataClass::Result

source

An object reference to the File::DataClass::ResultSource instance that created this result set

_iterator

Contains the integer count of the position within the _results hash. Incremented by each call to "next"

_operators

A hash ref of coderefs that implement the comparison operations performed by the "search" method

_results

An array of result objects. Produced by calling "search"

Subroutines/Methods

all

@elements = $rs->search()->all;

Returns all the elements that are returned by the "search" call

create

$new_element_name = $rs->create( $args );

Creates and inserts an new element. The $args hash requires these keys; name of the element to create and fields is a hash containing the attributes of the new element. Missing attributes are defaulted from the defaults attribute of the File::DataClass::Schema object. Returns the new element's name

create_or_update

$element_name = $rs->create_or_update( $args );

Creates a new element if it does not already exist, updates the existing one if it does. Calls "_find_and_update"

delete

$rs->delete( { name => $of_element_to_delete } );

Deletes an element

find

$result_object = $rs->find( { name => $of_element_to_find } );

Finds the named element and returns an element object for it

_find_and_update

$updated_element_name = $rs->_find_and_update( $args );

Finds the named element object and updates it's attributes. Does not wrap the find and update in a transaction

first

$result_object = $rs->search( $where_clauses )->first;

Returns the first element object that is the result of the search call

list

$list_obect = $rs->list( { name => $name } );

Returns a list object

Retrieves the named element and a list of elements

last

$result_object = $rs->search( $where_clauses )->last;

Returns the last element object that is the result of the search call

next

$result_object = $rs->search( $where_clauses )->next;

Iterate over the elements returned by the search call

path

$path = $rs->path;

Attribute "path" in File::DataClass::Schema

push

$added = $rs->push( { name => $name, list => $list, items => $items } );

Adds items to the attribute list. The $args hash requires these keys; name the element to edit, list the attribute of the named element containing the list of existing items, req the request object and items the field on the request object containing the list of new items

reset

$rs->reset

Resets the resultset's cursor, so you can iterate through the elements again

$result = $rs->search( $hash_ref_of_where_clauses );

Search for elements that match the given criterion. The criterion is a hash ref whose keys are element attribute names. The criterion values are either scalar values or hash refs. The scalar values are tested for equality with the corresponding element attribute values. Hash ref keys are treated as comparison operators, the hash ref values are compared with the element attribute values, e.g.

{ 'some_element_attribute_name' => { '>=' => 0 } }

select

$hash = $rs->select;

Returns a hash ref of elements

splice

$removed = $rs->splice( { name => $name, list => $list, items => $items } );

Removes items from the attribute list

storage

$storage = $rs->storage;

Attribute "storage" in File::DataClass::Schema

update

$rs->update( { name => $of_element, fields => $attr_hash } );

Updates the named element

_txn_do

Calls "txn_do" in File::DataClass::Storage

None
