use DBIx::Custom; my $dbi = DBIx::Custom->connect( dsn => "dbi:mysql:database=bookshop", user => 'ken', password => '!LFKD%$&', dbi_option => {mysql_enable_utf8 => 1} );
You can connect to database by connect method. dsn is data source name, user is user name, password is password.
connect
dsn
user
password
dbi_option is DBI option. By default, the following option is set. Exeption is thrown when fatal error occur and commit mode is auto commit.
dbi_option
{ RaiseError => 1 PrintError => 0 AutoCommit => 1 }
If you want to execute insert statement, use insert method.
$dbi->insert({title => 'Perl', author => 'Ken'}, table => 'book');
First argument is insert row data, table is table name.
table
If you want to execute update stateimuse, use update method.
$dbi->update( {title => 'Perl', author => 'Ken'}, table => 'book', where => {id => 5} );
First argument is update row data, table is table name, where is condition.
Note that you can't execute update method without where. If you want to update all rows, use update_all.
$dbi->update_all({title => 'Perl', author => 'Ken'}, table => 'book');
If you want to execute delete statement, use delete method.
$dbi->delete(table => 'book', where => {author => 'Ken'});
table is table name, where is condition.
Note that you can't execute delete method without where. If you want to delete all rows, use delete_all method.
delete_all
$dbi->delete_all(table => 'book');
If you want to execute select statement, use select method.
my $result = $dbi->select(table => 'book');
Return value is DBIx::Custom::Result object. You can fetch rows by fetch method.
fetch
while (my $row = $result->fetch) { my $title = $row->[0]; my $author = $row->[1]; }
See also "Fetch row" in Fetch row about DBIx::Custom::Result.
You can specify column names by column option and condition by where option.
column
my $result = $dbi->select( table => 'book', column => ['author', 'title'], where => {author => 'Ken'} );
You can specify join clause by join option.
join
my $result = $dbi->select( table => 'book', column => ['company.name as company_name'] where => {'book.name' => 'Perl'}, join => ['left outer join company on book.company_id = company.id] );
Note that join clause is joined only when where or column option contains table name, such as book.name.
You can append statement to the end of whole statement by append option.
append
my $result = $dbi->select( table => 'book', where => {author => 'Ken'}, append => 'for update', );
execute
If you want to execute SQL, use execute method.
$dbi->execute("select * from book;");
You can specify named placeholder.
$dbi->execute( "select * from book title = :title and author = :author;" {title => 'Perl', author => 'Ken'} );
:title and :author is named placeholder, which is replaced to placeholers.
select * from book title = ? and author = ?;
dbh
my $dbh = $dbi->dbh;
Get get database handle object of DBI.
DBI
$dbi->do(...); $dbi->begin_work;
You can call all methods of DBI from DBIx::Custom object.
select method return value is DBIx::Custom::Result object. You can fetch a row or rows by various methods.
my $row = $result->fetch;
fetch method fetch a row and put it into array reference. You can continue to fetch
fetch_first
my $row = $result->fetch_first;
fetch_first fetch a only first row and finish statment handle, and put it into array refrence.
fetch_all
my $rows = $result->fetch_all;
fetch_all fetch all rows and put them into array of array reference.
fetch_hash
my $row = $result->fetch_hash;
fetch_hash fetch a row and put it into hash reference. You can fetch a row while row exists.
while (my $row = $result->fetch_hash) { my $title = $row->{title}; my $author = $row->{author}; }
fetch_hash_first
my $row = $result->fetch_hash_first;
fetch_hash_first fetch only a first row and finish statement handle, and put them into hash refrence.
one is fetch_hash_first synonym to save word typing.
one
my $row = $result->one;
fetch_hash_all
my $rows = $result->fetch_hash_all;
fetch_hash_all fetch all rows and put them into array of hash reference.
sth
my $sth = $result->sth;
If you want to get statment handle, use <sth> method.
You can embedd named placeholder into SQL.
select * from book where title = :title and author like :author;
:title and :author is named placeholder
Named placeholder is replaced by place holder.
select * from book where title = ? and author like ?;
use execute to execute SQL.
my $sql = "select * from book where title = :title and author like :author;" $dbi->execute($sql, {title => 'Perl', author => '%Ken%'});
You can specify filter at execute.
filter
$dbi->execute($sql, {title => 'Perl', author => '%Ken%'} filter => {title => 'to_something');
It is ok if there are same name's columns. Let's think two date comparison.
my $sql = "select * from table where date > :date and date < :date;";
In this case, You specify parameter values as array reference.
my $dbi->execute($sql, {date => ['2010-10-01', '2012-02-10']});
You want to search multiple conditions in many times. Let's think the following three cases.
Case1: Search only title
title
where title = :title
Case2: Search only author
author
where author = :author
Case3: Search title and author
where title = :title and author = :author
DBIx::Custom support dinamic where clause creating. At first, create DBIx::Custom::Where object by where.
my $where = $dbi->where;
Set clause by clause
clause
$where->clause( ['and', 'title = :title, 'author = :author'] );
clause is the following format.
['or' or 'and', PART1, PART1, PART1]
First argument is 'or' or 'and'. Later than first argument are part which contains named placeholder.
You can write more complex format.
['and', 'title = :title', ['or', 'author = :author', 'date like :date'] ]
This mean "title = :title and ( author = :author or date like :date )".
After setting clause, set param.
param
$where->param({title => 'Perl'});
In this example, parameter contains only title.
If you execute string_to, you can get where clause which contain only named placeholder.
string_to
my $where_clause = $where->to_string;
Parameter name is only title, the following where clause is created.
You can also create where clause by stringification.
my $where_clause = "$where";
This is useful to embbed it into SQL.
Even if same name parameters exists, you can create where clause. Let's think that there are starting date and ending date.
my $param = {start_date => '2010-11-15', end_date => '2011-11-21'};
In this case, you set parameter value as array reference.
my $p = {date => ['2010-11-15', '2011-11-21']};
You can embbed these values into same name parameters.
$where->clause( ['and', 'date > :date', 'date < :date'] ); $where->param($p);
If starting date isn't exists, create the following parameter.
my $p = {date => [$dbi->not_exists, '2011-11-21']};
You can get DBIx::Custom::NotExists object by not_exists This mean correnspondinf value isn't exists.
not_exists
If ending date isn't exists, create the following parameter.
my $p = {date => ['2010-11-15']};
If both date isn't exists, create the following parameter.
my $p = {date => []};
This logic is a little difficut. See the following ones.
my @date; push @date, exists $param->{start_date} ? $param->{start_date} : $dbi->not_exists; push @date, $param->{end_date} if exists $param->{end_date}; my $p = {date => \@date};
You can pass DBIx::Custom::Where object to where of select.
my $where = $dbi->where; $where->clause(['and', 'title = :title', 'author = :author']); $where->param({title => 'Perl'}); my $result = $dbi->select(table => 'book', where => $where);
You can also pass it to where of updateAdelete
DBIx::Custom::Where object is embedded into SQL.
my $where = $dbi->where; $where->clause(['and', 'title = :title', 'author = :author']); $where->param({title => 'Perl'}); my $sql = <<"EOS"; select * from book; $where EOS $dbi->execute($sql, $param, table => 'book');
register_filter
If you want to register filter, use register_filter.
$dbi->register_filter( # Time::Piece object to DATE format tp_to_date => sub { my $date = shift; return $tp->strftime('%Y-%m-%d'); }, # DATE to Time::Piece object date_to_tp => sub { my $date = shift; return Time::Piece->strptime($date, '%Y-%m-%d'); }, );
If you filter sending data, use filter option.
$dbi->execute( 'insert into book (date) values (:date)', {date => $tp}, filter => {date => 'tp_to_date'} );
You can use filter option in insert, update, delete, select method.
$dbi->insert( {date => $tp}, table => 'book', filter => {date => 'tp_to_date'} );
If you filter fetch data, use DBIx::Custom::Result's filter method.
my $result = $dbi->select(column => 'date', table => 'book'); $result->filter(date => 'date_to_tp'); my $row = $result->one;
you can define model extending DBIx::Custom::Model to improve source code view.
At first, you create basic model class extending <DBIx::Custom::Model>. Each DBIx::Custom class inherit Object::Simple. so you can inherit the following way.
package MyModel; use DBIx::Custom::Model -base;
Next, you create each model classes.
MyModel::book
package MyModel::book; use MyModel -base; sub insert { ... } sub list { ... }
MyModel::company
package MyModel::company; use MyModel -base; sub insert { ... } sub list { ... }
The follwoing modules location is needed.
MyModel.pm MyModel / book.pm / company.pm
You can include these models by include_model
include_model
$dbi->include_model('MyModel');
First argument is name space of model.
You can use model like this.
my $result = $dbi->model('book')->list;
In mode, You can use such as methods, insert, update, update_all, delete, delete_all, select without table option.
update_all
$dbi->model('book')->insert($param);
Model is DBIx::Custom::Model.
If you need table nameAyou can get it by table.
my $table = $model->table;
You can get DBIx::Custom.
my $dbi = $model->dbi;
You can also call all methods of DBIx::Custom and DBI.
# DBIx::Custom method $model->execute($sql); # DBI method $model->begin_work; $model->commit;
If you want to get all models, you can get them by keys of models.
models
my @models = keys %{$self->models};
You can set primary key to model.
$model->primary_key(['id', 'number_id']);
Primary key is used by insert, update, delete, and select methods.
You can set column names
$model->columns(['id', 'number_id']);
Column names is automarically set by setup_model. This method is needed to be call after include_model.
setup_model
$dbi->setup_model;
You can set join
$model->join(['left outer join company on book.company_id = company.id']);
join is used by select method.
To create column clause automatically, use mycolumn. Valude of table and columns is used.
mycolumn
columns
my $mycolumns = $model->mycolumn;
If table is 'book'Acolumn is ['id', 'name'], the following clause is created.
book.id as id, book.name as name
These column name is for removing column name ambiguities.
You can create column clause from columns of other table.
my $columns = $model->column('company');
If table is "company", column return ['id', 'name'], the following clause is created.
company.id as "company.id", company.name as "company.name"
Model examples
package MyDBI; use DBIx::Custom -base; sub connect { my $self = shift->SUPER::connect(@_); $self->include_model( MyModel => [ 'book', 'company' ] ); } package MyModel::book; use DBIx::Custom::Model -base; has primary_key => sub { ['id'] }; sub insert { ... } sub list { ... } package MyModel::company; use DBIx::Custom::Model -base; has primary_key => sub { ['id'] }; sub insert { ... } sub list { ... }
