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
170elect to additionally return a simplified join-free condition hashref when
171invoked as C<< $row_object->relationship >>, as opposed to
172C<< $rs->related_resultset('relationship') >>. In this case C<$row_object> is
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
209L<< $row->create_related|DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/create_related >>,
210the coderef must not only return as its second such a "simple" condition
211hashref which does not depend on joins being available, but the hashref must
212contain only plain values/deflatable objects, such that the result can be
213passed directly to L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base/set_from_related>. For
214instance the C<year> constraint in the above example prevents the relationship
215from being used to to create related objects (an exception will be thrown).
216
217In order to allow the user to go truly crazy when generating a custom C<ON>
218clause, the C<$args> hashref passed to the subroutine contains some extra
219metadata. Currently the supplied coderef is executed as:
220
221 $relationship_info->{cond}->({
222 self_alias => The alias of the invoking resultset ('me' in case of a row object),
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),
226 self_rowobj => The invocant itself in case of $row_obj->relationship
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
252=over 4
253
254=item \@columns
8091aa91 255
30236e47 256An arrayref containing a list of accessors in the foreign class to create in
8091aa91 257the main class. If, for example, you do the following:
d4daee7b 258
27f01d1f 259 MyDB::Schema::CD->might_have(liner_notes => 'MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes',
260 undef, {
261 proxy => [ qw/notes/ ],
262 });
d4daee7b 263
30236e47 264Then, assuming MyDB::Schema::LinerNotes has an accessor named notes, you can do:
8091aa91 265
30236e47 266 my $cd = MyDB::Schema::CD->find(1);
267 $cd->notes('Notes go here'); # set notes -- LinerNotes object is
268 # created if it doesn't exist
d4daee7b 269
97c96475 270=item \%column
271
272A hashref where each key is the accessor you want installed in the main class,
273and its value is the name of the original in the fireign class.
274
275 MyDB::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'DBICTest::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
276 proxy => { cd_title => 'title' },
277 });
278
279This will create an accessor named C<cd_title> on the C<$track> row object.
280
281=back
282
283NOTE: you can pass a nested struct too, for example:
284
285 MyDB::Schema::Track->belongs_to( cd => 'DBICTest::Schema::CD', 'cd', {
286 proxy => [ 'year', { cd_title => 'title' } ],
287 });
288
8091aa91 289=item accessor
290
291Specifies the type of accessor that should be created for the relationship.
292Valid values are C<single> (for when there is only a single related object),
293C<multi> (when there can be many), and C<filter> (for when there is a single
294related object, but you also want the relationship accessor to double as
295a column accessor). For C<multi> accessors, an add_to_* method is also
296created, which calls C<create_related> for the relationship.
297
3d618782 298=item is_foreign_key_constraint
299
300If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you and you find that it
fd323bf1 301is creating constraints where it shouldn't, or not creating them where it
3d618782 302should, set this attribute to a true or false value to override the detection
303of when to create constraints.
304
5f7ac523 305=item cascade_copy
306
307If C<cascade_copy> is true on a C<has_many> relationship for an
308object, then when you copy the object all the related objects will
fd323bf1 309be copied too. To turn this behaviour off, pass C<< cascade_copy => 0 >>
310in the C<$attr> hashref.
b7bbc39f 311
312The behaviour defaults to C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> for C<has_many>
313relationships.
5f7ac523 314
315=item cascade_delete
316
b7bbc39f 317By default, DBIx::Class cascades deletes across C<has_many>,
318C<has_one> and C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this
fd323bf1 319behaviour on a per-relationship basis by supplying
b7bbc39f 320C<< cascade_delete => 0 >> in the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 321
322The cascaded operations are performed after the requested delete,
323so if your database has a constraint on the relationship, it will
324have deleted/updated the related records or raised an exception
325before DBIx::Class gets to perform the cascaded operation.
326
327=item cascade_update
328
b7bbc39f 329By default, DBIx::Class cascades updates across C<has_one> and
5f7ac523 330C<might_have> relationships. You can disable this behaviour on a
b7bbc39f 331per-relationship basis by supplying C<< cascade_update => 0 >> in
332the relationship attributes.
5f7ac523 333
cee0c9b1 334This is not a RDMS style cascade update - it purely means that when
335an object has update called on it, all the related objects also
336have update called. It will not change foreign keys automatically -
337you must arrange to do this yourself.
5f7ac523 338
e377d723 339=item on_delete / on_update
340
341If you are using L<SQL::Translator> to create SQL for you, you can use these
fd323bf1 342attributes to explicitly set the desired C<ON DELETE> or C<ON UPDATE> constraint
343type. If not supplied the SQLT parser will attempt to infer the constraint type by
e377d723 344interrogating the attributes of the B<opposite> relationship. For any 'multi'
fd323bf1 345relationship with C<< cascade_delete => 1 >>, the corresponding belongs_to
346relationship will be created with an C<ON DELETE CASCADE> constraint. For any
e377d723 347relationship bearing C<< cascade_copy => 1 >> the resulting belongs_to constraint
348will be C<ON UPDATE CASCADE>. If you wish to disable this autodetection, and just
fd323bf1 349use the RDBMS' default constraint type, pass C<< on_delete => undef >> or
e377d723 350C<< on_delete => '' >>, and the same for C<on_update> respectively.
351
13de943d 352=item is_deferrable
353
354Tells L<SQL::Translator> that the foreign key constraint it creates should be
355deferrable. In other words, the user may request that the constraint be ignored
356until the end of the transaction. Currently, only the PostgreSQL producer
357actually supports this.
358
2581038c 359=item add_fk_index
360
361Tells L<SQL::Translator> to add an index for this constraint. Can also be
362specified globally in the args to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/deploy> or
363L<DBIx::Class::Schema/create_ddl_dir>. Default is on, set to 0 to disable.
