55e2d745 29=head1 DESCRIPTION
30
30236e47 31This class provides methods to describe the relationships between the
32tables in your database model. These are the "bare bones" relationships
75d07914 33methods, for predefined ones, look in L<DBIx::Class::Relationship>.

6c4f4d69 45 __PACKAGE__->add_relationship('relname',
46 'Foreign::Class',
13523f29 47 $condition, $attrs);
48
49Create a custom relationship between one result source and another
50source, indicated by its class name.
503536d5 51
406734bb 52=head3 condition
53
6c4f4d69 54The condition argument describes the C<ON> clause of the C<JOIN>
55expression used to connect the two sources when creating SQL queries.
30236e47 56
13523f29 57To create simple equality joins, supply a hashref containing the
58remote table column name as the key(s), and the local table column
6c4f4d69 59name as the value(s), for example given:
503536d5 60
6c4f4d69 61 My::Schema::Author->has_many(
62 books => 'My::Schema::Book',
63 { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' }
64 );
503536d5 65
6c4f4d69 66A query like:
67
68 $author_rs->search_related('books')->next
503536d5 69
6c4f4d69 70will result in the following C<JOIN> clause:
71
72 ... FROM author me LEFT JOIN book books ON books.author_id = me.id ...
503536d5 73
13523f29 74This describes a relationship between the C<Author> table and the
75C<Book> table where the C<Book> table has a column C<author_id>
76containing the ID value of the C<Author>.
77
6c4f4d69 78C<foreign> and C<self> are pseudo aliases and must be entered
13523f29 79literally. They will be replaced with the actual correct table alias
80when the SQL is produced.
81
82Similarly:
5271499d 83
6c4f4d69 84 My::Schema::Book->has_many(
85 editions => 'My::Schema::Edition',
86 {
87 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id',
88 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id',
89 }
90 );
91
92 ...
93
94 $book_rs->search_related('editions')->next
5271499d 95
13523f29 96will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
5271499d 97
6c4f4d69 98 ... FROM book me
99 LEFT JOIN edition editions ON
100 editions.publisher_id = me.publisher_id
101 AND editions.type_id = me.type_id ...
5271499d 102
13523f29 103This describes the relationship from C<Book> to C<Edition>, where the
104C<Edition> table refers to a publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"):
105
106As is the default in L<SQL::Abstract>, the key-value pairs will be
107C<AND>ed in the result. C<OR> can be achieved with an arrayref, for
6c4f4d69 108example a condition like:
13523f29 109
6c4f4d69 110 My::Schema::Item->has_many(
111 related_item_links => My::Schema::Item::Links,
112 [
113 { 'foreign.left_itemid' => 'self.id' },
114 { 'foreign.right_itemid' => 'self.id' },
115 ],
116 );
13523f29 117
6c4f4d69 118will translate to the following C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 119
6c4f4d69 120 ... FROM item me JOIN item_relations related_item_links ON
121 related_item_links.left_itemid = me.id
122 OR related_item_links.right_itemid = me.id ...
13523f29 123
6c4f4d69 124This describes the relationship from C<Item> to C<Item::Links>, where
125C<Item::Links> is a many-to-many linking table, linking items back to
126themselves in a peer fashion (without a "parent-child" designation)
13523f29 127
6c4f4d69 128To specify joins which describe more than a simple equality of column
129values, the custom join condition coderef syntax can be used. For
130example:
13523f29 131
6c4f4d69 132 My::Schema::Artist->has_many(
133 cds_80s => 'My::Schema::CD',
13523f29 134 sub {
6c4f4d69 135 my $args = shift;
13523f29 136
6c4f4d69 137 return {
138 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
139 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
140 };
141 }
142 );
13523f29 143
6c4f4d69 144 ...
13523f29 145
6c4f4d69 146 $artist_rs->search_related('cds_80s')->next;
13523f29 147
6c4f4d69 148will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 149
6c4f4d69 150 ... FROM artist me LEFT JOIN cd cds_80s ON
151 cds_80s.artist = me.artistid
152 AND cds_80s.year < ?
153 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 154
6c4f4d69 155with the bind values:
13523f29 156
6c4f4d69 157 '1990', '1979'
13523f29 158
6c4f4d69 159C<< $args->{foreign_alias} >> and C<< $args->{self_alias} >> are supplied the
160same values that would be otherwise substituted for C<foreign> and C<self>
161in the simple hashref syntax case.
162
163The coderef is expected to return a valid L<SQL::Abstract> query-structure, just
164like what one would supply as the first argument to
165L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/search>. The return value will be passed directly to
166L<SQL::Abstract> and the resulting SQL will be used verbatim as the C<ON>
167clause of the C<JOIN> statement associated with this relationship.
168
169While every coderef-based condition must return a valid C<ON> clause, it may
8273e845 170elect to additionally return a simplified join-free condition hashref when
dad42de6 171invoked as C<< $result->relationship >>, as opposed to
172C<< $rs->related_resultset('relationship') >>. In this case C<$result> is
6c4f4d69 173passed to the coderef as C<< $args->{self_rowobj} >>, so a user can do the
174following:
175
176 sub {
177 my $args = shift;
178
179 return (
180 {
181 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
182 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
183 },
184 $args->{self_rowobj} && {
185 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => $args->{self_rowobj}->artistid,
186 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
187 },
188 );
13523f29 189 }
190
191Now this code:
192
193 my $artist = $schema->resultset("Artist")->find({ id => 4 });
194 $artist->cds_80s->all;
195
6c4f4d69 196Can skip a C<JOIN> altogether and instead produce:
13523f29 197
6c4f4d69 198 SELECT cds_80s.cdid, cds_80s.artist, cds_80s.title, cds_80s.year, cds_80s.genreid, cds_80s.single_track
199 FROM cd cds_80s
200 WHERE cds_80s.artist = ?
201 AND cds_80s.year < ?
202 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 203
204With the bind values:
205
206 '4', '1990', '1979'
207
6c4f4d69 208Note that in order to be able to use
47d7b769 209L<< $result->create_related|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/create_related >>,
6c4f4d69 210the coderef must not only return as its second such a "simple" condition
211hashref which does not depend on joins being available, but the hashref must
212contain only plain values/deflatable objects, such that the result can be
213passed directly to L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/set_from_related>. For
214instance the C<year> constraint in the above example prevents the relationship
215from being used to to create related objects (an exception will be thrown).
216
217In order to allow the user to go truly crazy when generating a custom C<ON>
218clause, the C<$args> hashref passed to the subroutine contains some extra
219metadata. Currently the supplied coderef is executed as:
220
221 $relationship_info->{cond}->({
dad42de6 222 self_alias => The alias of the invoking resultset ('me' in case of a result object),
6c4f4d69 223 foreign_alias => The alias of the to-be-joined resultset (often matches relname),
224 self_resultsource => The invocant's resultsource,
225 foreign_relname => The relationship name (does *not* always match foreign_alias),
dad42de6 226 self_rowobj => The invocant itself in case of a $result_object->$relationship call
6c4f4d69 227 });
8091aa91 228
406734bb 229=head3 attributes
230
231The L<standard ResultSet attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES> may
232be used as relationship attributes. In particular, the 'where' attribute is
233useful for filtering relationships:
234
235 __PACKAGE__->has_many( 'valid_users', 'MyApp::Schema::User',
236 { 'foreign.user_id' => 'self.user_id' },
237 { where => { valid => 1 } }
238 );
239
240The following attributes are also valid:
8091aa91 241
242=over 4
243
244=item join_type
245
246Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL
247join type is valid, e.g. C<LEFT> or C<RIGHT>. It will be placed in the SQL
248command immediately before C<JOIN>.
249
97c96475 250=item proxy =E<gt> $column | \@columns | \%column
251
9ab122aa 252The 'proxy' attribute can be used to retrieve values, and to perform
253updates if the relationship has 'cascade_update' set. The 'might_have'
254and 'has_one' relationships have this set by default; if you want a proxy
255to update across a 'belongs_to' relationship, you must set the attribute
256yourself.
257
97c96475 258=over 4
259
260=item \@columns
8091aa91 261
30236e47 262An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in
8091aa91 263the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
d4daee7b 264
03460bef 265 MyApp::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes',
27f01d1f 266 undef, {
267 proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
268 });
d4daee7b 269
03460bef 270Then, assuming MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do:
8091aa91 271
03460bef 272 my $cd = MyApp::Schema::CD->find(1);
30236e47 273 $cd->notes('Notes go here'); # set notes -- LinerNotes object is
274 # created if it doesn't exist
d4daee7b 275
9ab122aa 276For a 'belongs_to relationship, note the 'cascade_update':
277
278 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'DBICTest::Schema::CD', 'cd,
279 { proxy => ['title'], cascade_update => 1 }
280 );
281 $track->title('New Title');
282 $track->update; # updates title in CD
283
97c96475 284=item \%column
285
286A hashref where each key is the accessor you want installed in the main class,
287and its value is the name of the original in the fireign class.
288
03460bef 289 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'DBICTest::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 290 proxy => { cd_title => 'title' },
291 });
292
dad42de6 293This will create an accessor named C<cd_title> on the C<$track> result object.
97c96475 294
295=back
296
297NOTE: you can pass a nested struct too, for example:
298
03460bef 299 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'DBICTest::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 300 proxy => [ 'year', { cd_title => 'title' } ],
301 });
302
8091aa91 303=item accessor
304
305Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.
306Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),
307C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single
308related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as
309a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
310created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
311
3d618782 312=item is_foreign_key_constraint
313
314If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
fd323bf1 315is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
3d618782 316should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
317of when to create constraints.
318
5f7ac523 319=item cascade_copy
320
321If C<cascade_copy> is true on a C<has_many> relationship for an
322object, then when you copy the object all the related objects will
fd323bf1 323be copied too. To turn this behaviour off, pass C<< cascade_copy => 0 >>
324in the C<$attr> hashref.
b7bbc39f 325
326The behaviour defaults to C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> for C<has_many>
327relationships.
5f7ac523 328
329=item cascade_delete
330
b7bbc39f 331By default, DBIx::Class cascades deletes across C<has_many>,
332C<has_one> and C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this
fd323bf1 333behaviour on a per-relationship basis by supplying
b7bbc39f 334C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 335
336The cascaded operations are performed after the requested delete,
337so if your database has a constraint on the relationship, it will
338have deleted/updated the related records or raised an exception
339before DBIx::Class gets to perform the cascaded operation.
340
341=item cascade_update
342
b7bbc39f 343By default, DBIx::Class cascades updates across C<has_one> and
5f7ac523 344C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this behaviour on a
b7bbc39f 345per-relationship basis by supplying C<< cascade_update => 0 >> in
346the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 347
9ab122aa 348The C<belongs_to> relationship does not update across relationships
349by default, so if you have a 'proxy' attribute on a belongs_to and want to
350use 'update' on it, you muse set C<< cascade_update => 1 >>.
351
cee0c9b1 352This is not a RDMS style cascade update - it purely means that when
353an object has update called on it, all the related objects also
354have update called. It will not change foreign keys automatically -
355you must arrange to do this yourself.
5f7ac523 356
e377d723 357=item on_delete / on_update
358
359If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you, you can use these
fd323bf1 360attributes to explicitly set the desired C<ON DELETE> or C<ON UPDATE> constraint
361type. If not supplied the SQLT parser will attempt to infer the constraint type by
e377d723 362interrogating the attributes of the B<opposite> relationship. For any 'multi'
fd323bf1 363relationship with C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>, the corresponding belongs_to
364relationship will be created with an C<ON DELETE CASCADE> constraint. For any
e377d723 365relationship bearing C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> the resulting belongs_to constraint
366will be C<ON UPDATE CASCADE>. If you wish to disable this autodetection, and just
fd323bf1 367use the RDBMS' default constraint type, pass C<< on_delete => undef >> or
e377d723 368C<< on_delete => '' >>, and the same for C<on_update> respectively.
369
13de943d 370=item is_deferrable
371
372Tells L<SQL::Translator> that the foreign key constraint it creates should be
373deferrable. In other words, the user may request that the constraint be ignored
374until the end of the transaction. Currently, only the PostgreSQL producer
375actually supports this.
376
2581038c 377=item add_fk_index
378
379Tells L<SQL::Translator> to add an index for this constraint. Can also be
380specified globally in the args to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> or
381L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>. Default is on, set to 0 to disable.
