NAME

DBIx::Class::ResultSet::Void - improve DBIx::Class::ResultSet with void context

VERSION

version 0.06

    my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
    $rs->find_or_create( {
        artist => 'Massive Attack',
        title  => 'Mezzanine',
    } );

As ResultSet subclass in Schema.pm:

    __PACKAGE__->load_namespaces(
        default_resultset_class => '+DBIx::Class::ResultSet::Void'
    );

Or in Schema/CD.pm

    __PACKAGE__->resultset_class('DBIx::Class::ResultSet::Void');

Or in ResultSet/CD.pm

    use base 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet::Void';

The API is the same as DBIx::Class::ResultSet.

use exists instead of find unless defined wantarray.

(Thank ribasushi to tell me count is bad)

* exists

    $rs->exists( { id => 1 } );

It works like:

    $rs->search( { id => 1 }, { rows => 1, select => [1] } )->single;

It is a little faster than count if you don't care the real count.

* find_or_create

find_or_create in DBIx::Class::ResultSet:

    $rs->find_or_create( { id => 1, name => 'A' } );

produces SQLs like:

    # SELECT me.id, me.name FROM item me WHERE ( me.id = ? ): '1'
    # INSERT INTO item ( id, name) VALUES ( ?, ? ): '1', 'A'

but indeed SELECT 1 ... LIMIT 1 is performing a little better than me.id, me.name

this module DBIx::Class::ResultSet::Void produces SQLs like:

    # SELECT 1 FROM item me WHERE ( me.id = ? ) LIMIT 1: '1'
    # INSERT INTO item ( id, name) VALUES ( ?, ? ): '1', 'A'

we would delegate it DBIx::Class::ResultSet under context like:

    my $row = $rs->find_or_create( { id => 1, name => 'A' } );

* update_or_create

update_or_create in DBIx::Class::ResultSet:

    $rs->update_or_create( { id => 1, name => 'B' } );

produces SQLs like:

    # SELECT me.id, me.name FROM item me WHERE ( me.id = ? ): '1'
    # UPDATE item SET name = ? WHERE ( id = ? ): 'B', '1'

this module:

    # SELECT 1 FROM item me WHERE ( me.id = ? ) LIMIT 1: '1'
    # UPDATE item SET name = ? WHERE ( id = ? ): 'B', '1'
