NAME

6       DBIx::Class::IntrospectableM2M - Introspect many-to-many shortcuts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       In your DBIx::Class Result class (sometimes erroneously referred to as
10       the 'table' class):
11
12         __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/IntrospectableM2M ... Core/);
13
14         #Digest encoder with hex format and SHA-1 algorithm
15         __PACKAGE__->many_to_many(roles => user_roles => 'role);
16
17       When you want to introspect this data
18
19          my $metadata = $result_class->_m2m_metadata->{roles};
20          #  $metadata->{accessor} method name e.g. 'roles'
21          #  $metadata->{relation} maping relation e.g. 'user_roles'
22          #  $metadata->{foreign_relation} far-side relation e.g. 'role
23          #  $metadata->{attrs}  relationship attributes, if any
24          # Convenience methods created by DBIx::Class
25          #  $metadata->{rs_method}     'roles_rs'
26          #  $metadata->{add_method}    'add_to_roles',
27          #  $metadata->{set_method}    'set_roles',
28          #  $metadata->{remove_method} 'remove_from_roles'
29
30       Note: The component needs to be loaded before Core.

COMPATIBILITY NOTICE

33       This module is fairly esoteric and, unless you are dynamically creating
34       something out of a DBIC Schema, is probably the wrong solution for
35       whatever it is you are trying to do. Please be advised that
36       compatibility is not guaranteed for DBIx::Class 0.09000+. We will try
37       to manitain all compatibility, but internal changes might make it
38       impossible.

DESCRIPTION

41       Because the many-to-many relationships are not real relationships, they
42       can not be introspected with DBIx::Class. Many-to-many relationships
43       are actually just a collection of convenience methods installed to
44       bridge two relationships.  This DBIx::Class component can be used to
45       store all relevant information about these non-relationships so they
46       can later be introspected and examined.
47

METHODS

49   many_to_many
50       Extended to store all relevant information in the "_m2m_metadata" HASH
51       ref.
52
53   _m2m_metadata
54       Accessor to a HASH ref where the keys are the names of m2m
55       relationships and the value is a HASH ref as described in the SYNOPSIS.
