DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::SubClass(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::SubClass(3)

DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::SubClass - Convenient subclassing with DBIx::Class

 # define parent class
 package ParentSchema::Result::Bar;

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use parent 'DBIx::Class';

 __PACKAGE__->load_components('Core');

 __PACKAGE__->table('Bar');

 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/ id foo_id /);

 __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to( foo => 'ParentSchema::Result::Foo', 'foo_id' );

 # define subclass
 package MySchema::Result::Bar;

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use parent 'ParentSchema::Result::Bar';

 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw{Helper::Row::SubClass Core});

 __PACKAGE__->subclass;

or with DBIx::Class::Candy:

 # define subclass
 package MySchema::Result::Bar;

 use DBIx::Class::Candy
    -base => 'ParentSchema::Result::Bar',
    -components => ['Helper::Row::SubClass'];

 subclass;

This component is to allow simple subclassing of DBIx::Class Result classes.

This is probably the method you want. You call this in your child class and it imports the definitions from the parent into itself.

This is where the cool stuff happens. This assumes that the namespace is laid out in the recommended "MyApp::Schema::Result::Foo" format. If the parent has "Parent::Schema::Result::Foo" related to "Parent::Schema::Result::Bar", and you inherit from "Parent::Schema::Result::Foo" in "MyApp::Schema::Result::Foo", you will automatically get the relationship to "MyApp::Schema::Result::Bar".

This is a super basic method that just sets the current classes' table to the parent classes' table.

If used in conjunction with DBIx::Class::Candy this component will export:
join_table
subclass
generate_relationships
set_table

This Component is mostly aimed at those who want to subclass parts of a schema, maybe for sharing a login system in a few different projects. Do not confuse it with DBIx::Class::DynamicSubclass, which solves an entirely different problem. DBIx::Class::DynamicSubclass is for when you want to store a few very similar classes in the same table (Employee, Person, Boss, etc) whereas this component is merely for reusing an existing schema.
