NAME

DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::UTF8 - Get raw hashrefs from a resultset with utf-8 flag

VERSION

version 1.000005

SYNOPSIS

use DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::UTF8;
my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD');
$rs->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::UTF8');
while (my $hashref = $rs->next) {
  ...
}
 OR as an attribute:
my $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search({}, {
  result_class => 'DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::UTF8',
});
while (my $hashref = $rs->next) {
  ...
}

DESCRIPTION

DBIx::Class is faster than older ORMs like Class::DBI but it still isn't designed primarily for speed. Sometimes you need to quickly retrieve the data from a massive resultset, while skipping the creation of fancy result objects. Specifying this class as a result_class for a resultset will change $rs->next to return a plain data hash-ref (or a list of such hash-refs if $rs->all is used). There are two ways of applying this class to a resultset:

Specify $rs->result_class on a specific resultset to affect only that resultset (and any chained off of it); or
Specify __PACKAGE__->result_class on your source object to force all uses of that result source to be inflated to hash-refs - this approach is not recommended.

NOTE

This module should be used to force UTF8 on your results in case your DBI/DBD/lib-$protocol pipeline does not support unicode natively (similar to the higher-level DBIx::Class::ForceUTF8).

METHODS

inflate_result

Inflates the result and prefetched data into a hash-ref (invoked by DBIx::Class::ResultSet)

CAVEATS

This will not work for relationships that have been prefetched. Consider the following:
```
my $artist = $artitsts_rs->search({}, {prefetch => 'cds' })->first;

my $cds = $artist->cds;
$cds->result_class('DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator::UTF8');
my $first = $cds->first;
```
$first will not be a hashref, it will be a normal CD row since HashRefInflator::UTF8 only affects resultsets at inflation time, and prefetch causes relations to be inflated when the master $artist row is inflated.
Column value inflation, e.g., using modules like DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime, is not performed. The returned hash contains the raw database values.
