-DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator
+DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator - Get raw hashrefs from a resultset
=head1 SYNOPSIS
- my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
+ use DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator;
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
$rs->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
+ while (my $hashref = $rs->next) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+ OR as an attribute:
+
+ my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
+ result_class => 'DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator',
+ });
+ while (my $hashref = $rs->next) {
+ ...
+ }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-DBIx::Class is not built for speed: it's built for convenience and
-ease of use. But sometimes you just need to get the data, and skip the
-fancy objects. That is what this class provides.
+DBIx::Class is faster than older ORMs like Class::DBI but it still isn't
+designed primarily for speed. Sometimes you need to quickly retrieve the data
+from a massive resultset, while skipping the creation of fancy result objects.
+Specifying this class as a C<result_class> for a resultset will change C<< $rs->next >>
+to return a plain data hash-ref (or a list of such hash-refs if C<< $rs->all >> is used).
-There are two ways of using this class.
+There are two ways of applying this class to a resultset:

+# NOTE
+#
+# Generally people use this to gain as much speed as possible. If a new &mk_hash is
+# implemented, it should be benchmarked using the maint/benchmark_hashrefinflator.pl
+# script (in addition to passing all tests of course :)
-So you want to skip the DBIx::Class object creation part, but you still want
-all your data to be inflated according to the rules you defined in your table
-classes. Setting the global variable
-C<$DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::inflate_data> to a true value
-will instruct L<mk_hash> to interrogate the processed columns and apply any
-inflation methods declared via L<DBIx::Class::InflateColumn/inflate_column>.
+# This coderef is a simple recursive function
+# Arguments: ($me, $prefetch, $is_root) from inflate_result() below
+my $mk_hash;
+$mk_hash = sub {
-For increased speed the inflation method lookups are cached in
-C<%DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::inflator_cache>. Make sure to
-reset this hash if you modify column inflators at run time.
+ my $hash = {
+
+ # the main hash could be an undef if we are processing a skipped-over join
+ $_[0] ? %{$_[0]} : (),
+
+ # the second arg is a hash of arrays for each prefetched relation
+ map { $_ => (
+
+ # null-branch or not

+=item *
This will not work for relationships that have been prefetched. Consider the
following:
my $cds = $artist->cds;
$cds->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator');
- my $first = $cds->first;
+ my $first = $cds->first;
-C<$first> will B<not> be a hashref, it will be a normal CD row since
+C<$first> will B<not> be a hashref, it will be a normal CD row since
HashRefInflator only affects resultsets at inflation time, and prefetch causes
relations to be inflated when the master C<$artist> row is inflated.

+Column value inflation, e.g., using modules like

+The returned hash contains the raw database values.
