7 | =head1 NAME |
8 | |
9 | DBIx::Class::Positioned - Modify the position of objects in an ordered list. |
10 | |
11 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
12 | |
13 | Create a table for your positionable data. |
14 | |
15 | CREATE TABLE employees ( |
16 | employee_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, |
17 | name TEXT NOT NULL, |
18 | position INTEGER NOT NULL |
19 | ); |
20 | |
21 | In your Schema or DB class add Positioned to the top |
22 | of the component list. |
23 | |
24 | __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw( Positioned ... )); |
25 | |
26 | Specify the column that stores the position number for |
27 | each row. |
28 | |
29 | package My::Employee; |
30 | __PACKAGE__->position_column('position'); |
31 | |
32 | Thats it, now you can change the position of your objects. |

54 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
55 | |
56 | This module provides a simple interface for modifying the position |
57 | of DBIx::Class objects. |
58 | |
133dd22a |
59 | =head1 AUTO UPDATE |
60 | |
61 | All of the move_* methods automatically update the rows involved in |
62 | the query. This is not configurable and is due to the fact that if you |
63 | move a record it always causes other records in the list to be updated. |
64 | |

65 | =head1 METHODS |
66 | |
67 | =head2 position_column |
68 | |
69 | __PACKAGE__->position_column('position'); |
70 | |
71 | Sets and retrieves the name of the column that stores the |
72 | positional value of each record. Default to "position". |
73 | |
74 | =cut |
75 | |
76 | __PACKAGE__->mk_classdata( 'position_column' => 'position' ); |
77 | |
133dd22a |
78 | =head2 collection_column |
79 | |
80 | __PACKAGE__->collection_column('thing_id'); |
81 | |
82 | This method specified a column to limit all queries in |
83 | this module by. This effectively allows you to have multiple |
84 | positioned lists within the same table. |

345 | |
133dd22a |
346 | =head2 Race Condition on Insert |
347 | |
118e6b96 |
348 | If a position is not specified for an insert than a position |
349 | will be chosen based on COUNT(*)+1. But, it first selects the |
350 | count then inserts the record. The space of time between select |
351 | and insert introduces a race condition. To fix this we need the |
352 | ability to lock tables in DBIC. I've added an entry in the TODO |
353 | about this. |
354 | |
133dd22a |
355 | =head2 Multiple Moves |
356 | |
357 | Be careful when issueing move_* methods to multiple objects. If |
358 | you've pre-loaded the objects then when you move one of the objects |
359 | the position of the other object will not reflect their new value |
360 | until you reload them from the database. |
361 | |
362 | The are times when you will want to move objects as groups, such |
363 | as changeing the parent of several objects at once - this directly |
364 | conflicts with this problem. One solution is for us to write a |
365 | ResultSet class that supports a parent() method, for example. Another |
366 | solution is to somehow automagically modify the objects that exist |
367 | in the current object's result set to have the new position value. |
