NAME

DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Me - Define predefined searches more nicely

VERSION

version 2.019003

SYNOPSIS

 # note that this is normally a component for a ResultSet
 package MySchema::ResultSet::Bar;

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use parent 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';

 use constant CANDY => 1;

 __PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::ResultSet::Me');

 sub candy {
    $_[0]->search({ $_[0]->me.'type' => CANDY })
 }

 sub cake {
    $_[0]->search({ $_[0]->me('type') => CAKE })
 }

 # in code using resultset:
 my $candy_bars = $schema->resultset('Bar')->candy;
 my $cake_bars  = $schema->resultset('Bar')->cake;

DESCRIPTION

This component allows slightly nicer predefined search definition. See "NOTE" in DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet for a nice way to apply it to your entire schema.

It defines a single method that is shorter and (to most) clearer than "current_source_alias" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet, which is what it uses for the "me" method.

METHODS

me

Merely returns the SQL namespace for the current search with a . at the end, allowing internal resultset methods to be defined with $self->me instead of $self->current_source_alias . q(.). Also, if you pass it a single argument it will append that to the returned string.
