55e2d745 30=head1 DESCRIPTION
31
30236e47 32This class provides methods to describe the relationships between the
33tables in your database model. These are the "bare bones" relationships
75d07914 34methods, for predefined ones, look in L<DBIx::Class::Relationship>.

6c4f4d69 47 'Foreign::Class',
13523f29 48 $condition, $attrs);
49
50Create a custom relationship between one result source and another
51source, indicated by its class name.
503536d5 52
406734bb 53=head3 condition
54
6c4f4d69 55The condition argument describes the C<ON> clause of the C<JOIN>
56expression used to connect the two sources when creating SQL queries.
30236e47 57
5d2588cc 58=head4 Simple equality
59
60To create simple equality joins, supply a hashref containing the remote
61table column name as the key(s) prefixed by C<'foreign.'>, and the
62corresponding local table column name as the value(s) prefixed by C<'self.'>.
63Both C<foreign> and C<self> are pseudo aliases and must be entered
64literally. They will be replaced with the actual correct table alias
65when the SQL is produced.
66
67For example given:
503536d5 68
6c4f4d69 69 My::Schema::Author->has_many(
70 books => 'My::Schema::Book',
71 { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' }
72 );
503536d5 73
6c4f4d69 74A query like:
75
76 $author_rs->search_related('books')->next
503536d5 77
6c4f4d69 78will result in the following C<JOIN> clause:
79
80 ... FROM author me LEFT JOIN book books ON books.author_id = me.id ...
503536d5 81
13523f29 82This describes a relationship between the C<Author> table and the
83C<Book> table where the C<Book> table has a column C<author_id>
84containing the ID value of the C<Author>.
85
13523f29 86Similarly:
5271499d 87
6c4f4d69 88 My::Schema::Book->has_many(
89 editions => 'My::Schema::Edition',
90 {
91 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id',
92 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id',
93 }
94 );
95
96 ...
97
98 $book_rs->search_related('editions')->next
5271499d 99
13523f29 100will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
5271499d 101
6c4f4d69 102 ... FROM book me
103 LEFT JOIN edition editions ON
104 editions.publisher_id = me.publisher_id
105 AND editions.type_id = me.type_id ...
5271499d 106
13523f29 107This describes the relationship from C<Book> to C<Edition>, where the
108C<Edition> table refers to a publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"):
109
5d2588cc 110=head4 Multiple groups of simple equality conditions
111
13523f29 112As is the default in L<SQL::Abstract>, the key-value pairs will be
5d2588cc 113C<AND>ed in the resulting C<JOIN> clause. An C<OR> can be achieved with
114an arrayref. For example a condition like:
13523f29 115
6c4f4d69 116 My::Schema::Item->has_many(
117 related_item_links => My::Schema::Item::Links,
118 [
119 { 'foreign.left_itemid' => 'self.id' },
120 { 'foreign.right_itemid' => 'self.id' },
121 ],
122 );
13523f29 123
6c4f4d69 124will translate to the following C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 125
6c4f4d69 126 ... FROM item me JOIN item_relations related_item_links ON
127 related_item_links.left_itemid = me.id
128 OR related_item_links.right_itemid = me.id ...
13523f29 129
6c4f4d69 130This describes the relationship from C<Item> to C<Item::Links>, where
131C<Item::Links> is a many-to-many linking table, linking items back to
132themselves in a peer fashion (without a "parent-child" designation)
13523f29 133
84d8c2ad 134=head4 Custom join conditions
135
5d2588cc 136 NOTE: The custom join condition specification mechanism is capable of
137 generating JOIN clauses of virtually unlimited complexity. This may limit
138 your ability to traverse some of the more involved relationship chains the
139 way you expect, *and* may bring your RDBMS to its knees. Exercise care
140 when declaring relationships as described here.
141
6c4f4d69 142To specify joins which describe more than a simple equality of column
143values, the custom join condition coderef syntax can be used. For
144example:
13523f29 145
6c4f4d69 146 My::Schema::Artist->has_many(
147 cds_80s => 'My::Schema::CD',
13523f29 148 sub {
6c4f4d69 149 my $args = shift;
13523f29 150
6c4f4d69 151 return {
152 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
153 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
154 };
155 }
156 );
13523f29 157
6c4f4d69 158 ...
13523f29 159
6c4f4d69 160 $artist_rs->search_related('cds_80s')->next;
13523f29 161
6c4f4d69 162will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 163
6c4f4d69 164 ... FROM artist me LEFT JOIN cd cds_80s ON
165 cds_80s.artist = me.artistid
166 AND cds_80s.year < ?
167 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 168
6c4f4d69 169with the bind values:
13523f29 170
6c4f4d69 171 '1990', '1979'
13523f29 172
6c4f4d69 173C<< $args->{foreign_alias} >> and C<< $args->{self_alias} >> are supplied the
174same values that would be otherwise substituted for C<foreign> and C<self>
175in the simple hashref syntax case.
176
177The coderef is expected to return a valid L<SQL::Abstract> query-structure, just
178like what one would supply as the first argument to
179L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/search>. The return value will be passed directly to
180L<SQL::Abstract> and the resulting SQL will be used verbatim as the C<ON>
181clause of the C<JOIN> statement associated with this relationship.
182
183While every coderef-based condition must return a valid C<ON> clause, it may
ef0845ba 184elect to additionally return a simplified B<optional> join-free condition
e884e5d9 185consisting of a hashref with B<all keys being fully qualified names of columns
186declared on the corresponding result source>. This boils down to two scenarios:
187
188=over
189
190=item *
191
192When relationship resolution is invoked after C<< $result->$rel_name >>, as
193opposed to C<< $rs->related_resultset($rel_name) >>, the C<$result> object
194is passed to the coderef as C<< $args->{self_result_object} >>.
195
196=item *
197
198Alternatively when the user-space invokes resolution via
199C<< $result->set_from_related( $rel_name => $foreign_values_or_object ) >>, the
200corresponding data is passed to the coderef as C<< $args->{foreign_values} >>,
201B<always> in the form of a hashref. If a foreign result object is supplied
202(which is valid usage of L</set_from_related>), its values will be extracted
203into hashref form by calling L<get_columns|DBIx::Class::Row/get_columns>.
204
205=back
206
207Note that the above scenarios are mutually exclusive, that is you will be supplied
208none or only one of C<self_result_object> and C<foreign_values>. In other words if
209you define your condition coderef as:
6c4f4d69 210
211 sub {
212 my $args = shift;
213
214 return (
215 {
216 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
217 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
218 },
ef0845ba 219 ! $args->{self_result_object} ? () : {
98def3ef 220 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => $args->{self_result_object}->artistid,
6c4f4d69 221 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
222 },
e884e5d9 223 ! $args->{foreign_values} ? () : {
224 "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" => $args->{foreign_values}{artist},
ef0845ba 225 }
6c4f4d69 226 );
13523f29 227 }
228
ef0845ba 229Then this code:
13523f29 230
231 my $artist = $schema->resultset("Artist")->find({ id => 4 });
232 $artist->cds_80s->all;
233
6c4f4d69 234Can skip a C<JOIN> altogether and instead produce:
13523f29 235
6c4f4d69 236 SELECT cds_80s.cdid, cds_80s.artist, cds_80s.title, cds_80s.year, cds_80s.genreid, cds_80s.single_track
237 FROM cd cds_80s
238 WHERE cds_80s.artist = ?
239 AND cds_80s.year < ?
240 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 241
242With the bind values:
243
244 '4', '1990', '1979'
245
ef0845ba 246While this code:
247
248 my $cd = $schema->resultset("CD")->search({ artist => 1 }, { rows => 1 })->single;
249 my $artist = $schema->resultset("Artist")->new({});
250 $artist->set_from_related('cds_80s');
251
252Will properly set the C<< $artist->artistid >> field of this new object to C<1>
253
e884e5d9 254Note that in order to be able to use L</set_from_related> (and by extension
255L<< $result->create_related|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/create_related >>),
256the returned join free condition B<must> contain only plain values/deflatable
257objects. For instance the C<year> constraint in the above example prevents
258the relationship from being used to create related objects using
259C<< $artst->create_related( cds_80s => { title => 'blah' } ) >> (an
260exception will be thrown).
6c4f4d69 261
262In order to allow the user to go truly crazy when generating a custom C<ON>
263clause, the C<$args> hashref passed to the subroutine contains some extra
264metadata. Currently the supplied coderef is executed as:
265
266 $relationship_info->{cond}->({
e884e5d9 267 self_resultsource => The resultsource instance on which rel_name is registered
268 rel_name => The relationship name (does *NOT* always match foreign_alias)
a446d7f8 269
e884e5d9 270 self_alias => The alias of the invoking resultset
271 foreign_alias => The alias of the to-be-joined resultset (does *NOT* always match rel_name)
a446d7f8 272
1adbd3fc 273 # only one of these (or none at all) will ever be supplied to aid in the
274 # construction of a join-free condition
e884e5d9 275
276 self_result_object => The invocant *object* itself in case of a call like
277 $result_object->$rel_name( ... )
278
279 foreign_values => A *hashref* of related data: may be passed in directly or
280 derived via ->get_columns() from a related object in case of
281 $result_object->set_from_related( $rel_name, $foreign_result_object )
a446d7f8 282
283 # deprecated inconsistent names, will be forever available for legacy code
e884e5d9 284 self_rowobj => Old deprecated slot for self_result_object
285 foreign_relname => Old deprecated slot for rel_name
6c4f4d69 286 });
8091aa91 287
406734bb 288=head3 attributes
289
290The L<standard ResultSet attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES> may
291be used as relationship attributes. In particular, the 'where' attribute is
292useful for filtering relationships:
293
294 __PACKAGE__->has_many( 'valid_users', 'MyApp::Schema::User',
295 { 'foreign.user_id' => 'self.user_id' },
296 { where => { valid => 1 } }
297 );
298
299The following attributes are also valid:
8091aa91 300
301=over 4
302
303=item join_type
304
305Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL
306join type is valid, e.g. C<LEFT> or C<RIGHT>. It will be placed in the SQL
307command immediately before C<JOIN>.
308
97c96475 309=item proxy =E<gt> $column | \@columns | \%column
310
9ab122aa 311The 'proxy' attribute can be used to retrieve values, and to perform
312updates if the relationship has 'cascade_update' set. The 'might_have'
313and 'has_one' relationships have this set by default; if you want a proxy
314to update across a 'belongs_to' relationship, you must set the attribute
315yourself.
316
97c96475 317=over 4
318
319=item \@columns
8091aa91 320
30236e47 321An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in
8091aa91 322the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
d4daee7b 323
03460bef 324 MyApp::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes',
27f01d1f 325 undef, {
326 proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
327 });
d4daee7b 328
03460bef 329Then, assuming MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do:
8091aa91 330
03460bef 331 my $cd = MyApp::Schema::CD->find(1);
30236e47 332 $cd->notes('Notes go here'); # set notes -- LinerNotes object is
333 # created if it doesn't exist
d4daee7b 334
9ab122aa 335For a 'belongs_to relationship, note the 'cascade_update':
336
a5fc4975 337 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd,
9ab122aa 338 { proxy => ['title'], cascade_update => 1 }
339 );
340 $track->title('New Title');
341 $track->update; # updates title in CD
342
97c96475 343=item \%column
344
345A hashref where each key is the accessor you want installed in the main class,
4a0eed52 346and its value is the name of the original in the foreign class.
97c96475 347
a5fc4975 348 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 349 proxy => { cd_title => 'title' },
350 });
351
dad42de6 352This will create an accessor named C<cd_title> on the C<$track> result object.
97c96475 353
354=back
355
356NOTE: you can pass a nested struct too, for example:
357
a5fc4975 358 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 359 proxy => [ 'year', { cd_title => 'title' } ],
360 });
361
8091aa91 362=item accessor
363
364Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.
365Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),
366C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single
367related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as
368a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
369created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
370
3d618782 371=item is_foreign_key_constraint
372
373If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
fd323bf1 374is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
3d618782 375should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
376of when to create constraints.
377
5f7ac523 378=item cascade_copy
379
380If C<cascade_copy> is true on a C<has_many> relationship for an
381object, then when you copy the object all the related objects will
fd323bf1 382be copied too. To turn this behaviour off, pass C<< cascade_copy => 0 >>
383in the C<$attr> hashref.
b7bbc39f 384
385The behaviour defaults to C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> for C<has_many>
386relationships.
5f7ac523 387
388=item cascade_delete
389
b7bbc39f 390By default, DBIx::Class cascades deletes across C<has_many>,
391C<has_one> and C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this
fd323bf1 392behaviour on a per-relationship basis by supplying
b7bbc39f 393C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 394
395The cascaded operations are performed after the requested delete,
396so if your database has a constraint on the relationship, it will
397have deleted/updated the related records or raised an exception
398before DBIx::Class gets to perform the cascaded operation.
399
400=item cascade_update
401
b7bbc39f 402By default, DBIx::Class cascades updates across C<has_one> and
5f7ac523 403C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this behaviour on a
b7bbc39f 404per-relationship basis by supplying C<< cascade_update => 0 >> in
405the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 406
9ab122aa 407The C<belongs_to> relationship does not update across relationships
408by default, so if you have a 'proxy' attribute on a belongs_to and want to
8848b5bd 409use 'update' on it, you must set C<< cascade_update => 1 >>.
9ab122aa 410
cee0c9b1 411This is not a RDMS style cascade update - it purely means that when
412an object has update called on it, all the related objects also
413have update called. It will not change foreign keys automatically -
414you must arrange to do this yourself.
5f7ac523 415
e377d723 416=item on_delete / on_update
417
418If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you, you can use these
fd323bf1 419attributes to explicitly set the desired C<ON DELETE> or C<ON UPDATE> constraint
420type. If not supplied the SQLT parser will attempt to infer the constraint type by
e377d723 421interrogating the attributes of the B<opposite> relationship. For any 'multi'
fd323bf1 422relationship with C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>, the corresponding belongs_to
423relationship will be created with an C<ON DELETE CASCADE> constraint. For any
e377d723 424relationship bearing C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> the resulting belongs_to constraint
425will be C<ON UPDATE CASCADE>. If you wish to disable this autodetection, and just
fd323bf1 426use the RDBMS' default constraint type, pass C<< on_delete => undef >> or
e377d723 427C<< on_delete => '' >>, and the same for C<on_update> respectively.
428
13de943d 429=item is_deferrable
430
431Tells L<SQL::Translator> that the foreign key constraint it creates should be
432deferrable. In other words, the user may request that the constraint be ignored
433until the end of the transaction. Currently, only the PostgreSQL producer
434actually supports this.
435
2581038c 436=item add_fk_index
437
438Tells L<SQL::Translator> to add an index for this constraint. Can also be
439specified globally in the args to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> or
440L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>. Default is on, set to 0 to disable.
