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
5d2588cc 57=head4 Simple equality
58
59To create simple equality joins, supply a hashref containing the remote
60table column name as the key(s) prefixed by C<'foreign.'>, and the
61corresponding local table column name as the value(s) prefixed by C<'self.'>.
62Both C<foreign> and C<self> are pseudo aliases and must be entered
63literally. They will be replaced with the actual correct table alias
64when the SQL is produced.
65
66For example given:
503536d5 67
6c4f4d69 68 My::Schema::Author->has_many(
69 books => 'My::Schema::Book',
70 { 'foreign.author_id' => 'self.id' }
71 );
503536d5 72
6c4f4d69 73A query like:
74
75 $author_rs->search_related('books')->next
503536d5 76
6c4f4d69 77will result in the following C<JOIN> clause:
78
79 ... FROM author me LEFT JOIN book books ON books.author_id = me.id ...
503536d5 80
13523f29 81This describes a relationship between the C<Author> table and the
82C<Book> table where the C<Book> table has a column C<author_id>
83containing the ID value of the C<Author>.
84
13523f29 85Similarly:
5271499d 86
6c4f4d69 87 My::Schema::Book->has_many(
88 editions => 'My::Schema::Edition',
89 {
90 'foreign.publisher_id' => 'self.publisher_id',
91 'foreign.type_id' => 'self.type_id',
92 }
93 );
94
95 ...
96
97 $book_rs->search_related('editions')->next
5271499d 98
13523f29 99will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
5271499d 100
6c4f4d69 101 ... FROM book me
102 LEFT JOIN edition editions ON
103 editions.publisher_id = me.publisher_id
104 AND editions.type_id = me.type_id ...
5271499d 105
13523f29 106This describes the relationship from C<Book> to C<Edition>, where the
107C<Edition> table refers to a publisher and a type (e.g. "paperback"):
108
5d2588cc 109=head4 Multiple groups of simple equality conditions
110
13523f29 111As is the default in L<SQL::Abstract>, the key-value pairs will be
5d2588cc 112C<AND>ed in the resulting C<JOIN> clause. An C<OR> can be achieved with
113an arrayref. For example a condition like:
13523f29 114
6c4f4d69 115 My::Schema::Item->has_many(
116 related_item_links => My::Schema::Item::Links,
117 [
118 { 'foreign.left_itemid' => 'self.id' },
119 { 'foreign.right_itemid' => 'self.id' },
120 ],
121 );
13523f29 122
6c4f4d69 123will translate to the following C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 124
6c4f4d69 125 ... FROM item me JOIN item_relations related_item_links ON
126 related_item_links.left_itemid = me.id
127 OR related_item_links.right_itemid = me.id ...
13523f29 128
6c4f4d69 129This describes the relationship from C<Item> to C<Item::Links>, where
130C<Item::Links> is a many-to-many linking table, linking items back to
131themselves in a peer fashion (without a "parent-child" designation)
13523f29 132
84d8c2ad 133=head4 Custom join conditions
134
5d2588cc 135 NOTE: The custom join condition specification mechanism is capable of
136 generating JOIN clauses of virtually unlimited complexity. This may limit
137 your ability to traverse some of the more involved relationship chains the
138 way you expect, *and* may bring your RDBMS to its knees. Exercise care
139 when declaring relationships as described here.
140
6c4f4d69 141To specify joins which describe more than a simple equality of column
142values, the custom join condition coderef syntax can be used. For
143example:
13523f29 144
6c4f4d69 145 My::Schema::Artist->has_many(
146 cds_80s => 'My::Schema::CD',
13523f29 147 sub {
6c4f4d69 148 my $args = shift;
13523f29 149
6c4f4d69 150 return {
151 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
152 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
153 };
154 }
155 );
13523f29 156
6c4f4d69 157 ...
13523f29 158
6c4f4d69 159 $artist_rs->search_related('cds_80s')->next;
13523f29 160
6c4f4d69 161will result in the C<JOIN> clause:
13523f29 162
6c4f4d69 163 ... FROM artist me LEFT JOIN cd cds_80s ON
164 cds_80s.artist = me.artistid
165 AND cds_80s.year < ?
166 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 167
6c4f4d69 168with the bind values:
13523f29 169
6c4f4d69 170 '1990', '1979'
13523f29 171
6c4f4d69 172C<< $args->{foreign_alias} >> and C<< $args->{self_alias} >> are supplied the
173same values that would be otherwise substituted for C<foreign> and C<self>
174in the simple hashref syntax case.
175
176The coderef is expected to return a valid L<SQL::Abstract> query-structure, just
177like what one would supply as the first argument to
178L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet/search>. The return value will be passed directly to
179L<SQL::Abstract> and the resulting SQL will be used verbatim as the C<ON>
180clause of the C<JOIN> statement associated with this relationship.
181
182While every coderef-based condition must return a valid C<ON> clause, it may
8273e845 183elect to additionally return a simplified join-free condition hashref when
dad42de6 184invoked as C<< $result->relationship >>, as opposed to
185C<< $rs->related_resultset('relationship') >>. In this case C<$result> is
6c4f4d69 186passed to the coderef as C<< $args->{self_rowobj} >>, so a user can do the
187following:
188
189 sub {
190 my $args = shift;
191
192 return (
193 {
194 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => { -ident => "$args->{self_alias}.artistid" },
195 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
196 },
197 $args->{self_rowobj} && {
198 "$args->{foreign_alias}.artist" => $args->{self_rowobj}->artistid,
199 "$args->{foreign_alias}.year" => { '>', "1979", '<', "1990" },
200 },
201 );
13523f29 202 }
203
204Now this code:
205
206 my $artist = $schema->resultset("Artist")->find({ id => 4 });
207 $artist->cds_80s->all;
208
6c4f4d69 209Can skip a C<JOIN> altogether and instead produce:
13523f29 210
6c4f4d69 211 SELECT cds_80s.cdid, cds_80s.artist, cds_80s.title, cds_80s.year, cds_80s.genreid, cds_80s.single_track
212 FROM cd cds_80s
213 WHERE cds_80s.artist = ?
214 AND cds_80s.year < ?
215 AND cds_80s.year > ?
13523f29 216
217With the bind values:
218
219 '4', '1990', '1979'
220
6c4f4d69 221Note that in order to be able to use
47d7b769 222L<< $result->create_related|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/create_related >>,
6c4f4d69 223the coderef must not only return as its second such a "simple" condition
224hashref which does not depend on joins being available, but the hashref must
225contain only plain values/deflatable objects, such that the result can be
226passed directly to L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/set_from_related>. For
227instance the C<year> constraint in the above example prevents the relationship
4a0eed52 228from being used to create related objects (an exception will be thrown).
6c4f4d69 229
230In order to allow the user to go truly crazy when generating a custom C<ON>
231clause, the C<$args> hashref passed to the subroutine contains some extra
232metadata. Currently the supplied coderef is executed as:
233
234 $relationship_info->{cond}->({
dad42de6 235 self_alias => The alias of the invoking resultset ('me' in case of a result object),
6c4f4d69 236 foreign_alias => The alias of the to-be-joined resultset (often matches relname),
237 self_resultsource => The invocant's resultsource,
238 foreign_relname => The relationship name (does *not* always match foreign_alias),
dad42de6 239 self_rowobj => The invocant itself in case of a $result_object->$relationship call
6c4f4d69 240 });
8091aa91 241
406734bb 242=head3 attributes
243
244The L<standard ResultSet attributes|DBIx::Class::ResultSet/ATTRIBUTES> may
245be used as relationship attributes. In particular, the 'where' attribute is
246useful for filtering relationships:
247
248 __PACKAGE__->has_many( 'valid_users', 'MyApp::Schema::User',
249 { 'foreign.user_id' => 'self.user_id' },
250 { where => { valid => 1 } }
251 );
252
253The following attributes are also valid:
8091aa91 254
255=over 4
256
257=item join_type
258
259Explicitly specifies the type of join to use in the relationship. Any SQL
260join type is valid, e.g. C<LEFT> or C<RIGHT>. It will be placed in the SQL
261command immediately before C<JOIN>.
262
97c96475 263=item proxy =E<gt> $column | \@columns | \%column
264
9ab122aa 265The 'proxy' attribute can be used to retrieve values, and to perform
266updates if the relationship has 'cascade_update' set. The 'might_have'
267and 'has_one' relationships have this set by default; if you want a proxy
268to update across a 'belongs_to' relationship, you must set the attribute
269yourself.
270
97c96475 271=over 4
272
273=item \@columns
8091aa91 274
30236e47 275An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in
8091aa91 276the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
d4daee7b 277
03460bef 278 MyApp::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes',
27f01d1f 279 undef, {
280 proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
281 });
d4daee7b 282
03460bef 283Then, assuming MyApp::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do:
8091aa91 284
03460bef 285 my $cd = MyApp::Schema::CD->find(1);
30236e47 286 $cd->notes('Notes go here'); # set notes -- LinerNotes object is
287 # created if it doesn't exist
d4daee7b 288
9ab122aa 289For a 'belongs_to relationship, note the 'cascade_update':
290
a5fc4975 291 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd,
9ab122aa 292 { proxy => ['title'], cascade_update => 1 }
293 );
294 $track->title('New Title');
295 $track->update; # updates title in CD
296
97c96475 297=item \%column
298
299A hashref where each key is the accessor you want installed in the main class,
4a0eed52 300and its value is the name of the original in the foreign class.
97c96475 301
a5fc4975 302 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 303 proxy => { cd_title => 'title' },
304 });
305
dad42de6 306This will create an accessor named C<cd_title> on the C<$track> result object.
97c96475 307
308=back
309
310NOTE: you can pass a nested struct too, for example:
311
a5fc4975 312 MyApp::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'MyApp::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
97c96475 313 proxy => [ 'year', { cd_title => 'title' } ],
314 });
315
8091aa91 316=item accessor
317
318Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.
319Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),
320C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single
321related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as
322a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
323created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
324
3d618782 325=item is_foreign_key_constraint
326
327If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
fd323bf1 328is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
3d618782 329should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
330of when to create constraints.
331
5f7ac523 332=item cascade_copy
333
334If C<cascade_copy> is true on a C<has_many> relationship for an
335object, then when you copy the object all the related objects will
fd323bf1 336be copied too. To turn this behaviour off, pass C<< cascade_copy => 0 >>
337in the C<$attr> hashref.
b7bbc39f 338
339The behaviour defaults to C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> for C<has_many>
340relationships.
5f7ac523 341
342=item cascade_delete
343
b7bbc39f 344By default, DBIx::Class cascades deletes across C<has_many>,
345C<has_one> and C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this
fd323bf1 346behaviour on a per-relationship basis by supplying
b7bbc39f 347C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 348
349The cascaded operations are performed after the requested delete,
350so if your database has a constraint on the relationship, it will
351have deleted/updated the related records or raised an exception
352before DBIx::Class gets to perform the cascaded operation.
353
354=item cascade_update
355
b7bbc39f 356By default, DBIx::Class cascades updates across C<has_one> and
5f7ac523 357C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this behaviour on a
b7bbc39f 358per-relationship basis by supplying C<< cascade_update => 0 >> in
359the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 360
9ab122aa 361The C<belongs_to> relationship does not update across relationships
362by default, so if you have a 'proxy' attribute on a belongs_to and want to
363use 'update' on it, you muse set C<< cascade_update => 1 >>.
364
cee0c9b1 365This is not a RDMS style cascade update - it purely means that when
366an object has update called on it, all the related objects also
367have update called. It will not change foreign keys automatically -
368you must arrange to do this yourself.
5f7ac523 369
e377d723 370=item on_delete / on_update
371
372If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you, you can use these
fd323bf1 373attributes to explicitly set the desired C<ON DELETE> or C<ON UPDATE> constraint
374type. If not supplied the SQLT parser will attempt to infer the constraint type by
e377d723 375interrogating the attributes of the B<opposite> relationship. For any 'multi'
fd323bf1 376relationship with C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>, the corresponding belongs_to
377relationship will be created with an C<ON DELETE CASCADE> constraint. For any
e377d723 378relationship bearing C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> the resulting belongs_to constraint
379will be C<ON UPDATE CASCADE>. If you wish to disable this autodetection, and just
fd323bf1 380use the RDBMS' default constraint type, pass C<< on_delete => undef >> or
e377d723 381C<< on_delete => '' >>, and the same for C<on_update> respectively.
382
13de943d 383=item is_deferrable
384
385Tells L<SQL::Translator> that the foreign key constraint it creates should be
386deferrable. In other words, the user may request that the constraint be ignored
387until the end of the transaction. Currently, only the PostgreSQL producer
388actually supports this.
389
2581038c 390=item add_fk_index
391
392Tells L<SQL::Translator> to add an index for this constraint. Can also be
393specified globally in the args to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> or
394L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>. Default is on, set to 0 to disable.

4d3a827d 955Replace all the related objects with the given reference to a list of
956objects. This does a C<delete> B<on the link table resultset> to remove the
957association between the current object and all related objects, then calls
958C<add_to_$rel> repeatedly to link all the new objects.

960Note that this means that this method will B<not> delete any objects in the
961table on the right side of the relation, merely that it will delete the link
962between them.

4d3a827d 964Due to a mistake in the original implementation of this method, it will also
965accept a list of objects or hash references. This is B<deprecated> and will be
966removed in a future version.

984Removes the link between the current object and the related object. Note that
985the related object itself won't be deleted unless you call ->delete() on
986it. This method just removes the link between the two objects.
