DBIx::...ntarray(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::IgnoreWantarray — bestie, this is the one that gets rid of your search context issues 💅

(also lowkey known by its truncated little nickname DBIx::...ntarray(3pm) in the manual header, but we don't gatekeep, we use the full name 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so first you gotta load the component into your ResultSet class:

package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::Foo;

__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw{Helper::ResultSet::IgnoreWantarray});

...

1;

and then somewhere else, like in a controller (no thoughts, just vibes):

my $rs = $self->paginate(
  $schema->resultset('Foo')->search({
     name => 'frew'
  })
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this component makes search always return a ResultSet. Always. No exceptions. Instead of being all "hmm, are we in array context? then here's an array of your database ✨" like it usually does, it just… doesn't. It stays a ResultSet. Periodt.

why do we care? because array-context search is exactly the kind of thing that ruins your whole day when you were just trying to chain methods. not on our watch 🎀

if you wanna apply this to your entire schema (iconic move, honestly), go peek at "NOTE" in DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet — it shows you a nice way to do it 👑

💖 METHODS 💖

🧚 search

this is an override of the default search method, and its whole job is forcing it to return a ResultSet. that's it. that's the method. it understood the assignment 🫡
