DBIx::...wObject(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

DBIx::Simple::Result::RowObject — bestie, it's the Simple result row object class. That's it, that's the name ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this class is the default for the "object" and "objects" result object methods. What does it actually do? Mainly it hands you syntactic sugar — and the price tag is performance. Yeah. Sugar costs, no cap 😭

Instead of writing this whole thing:

my $r = $db->query('SELECT foo, bar FROM baz')->hash;
do_something_with $r->{foo}, $r->{bar};

you may write:

my $r = $db->query('SELECT foo, bar FROM baz')->object;
do_something_with $r->foo, $r->bar;

see how much cuter that is?? dots instead of curlies, the way that $r->foo just hits different 💅

This class is a subclass of Object::Accessor, which is the icon that gives you per-object accessors (not per-class — per-object, okay, that distinction matters). And because of that, your records must not have column names like these:

• can
• ls_accessors
• ls_allow
• mk_accessor
• mk_clone
• mk_flush
• mk_verify
• new
• register_callback
• ___autoload
• ___callback
• ___debug
• ___error
• ___get
• ___set

And of course DESTROY and AUTOLOAD, and anything that new versions of Object::Accessor might add. like, the list is not closed, bestie, it can grow 🙈 so just… don't name your columns after methods. vibe check failed otherwise.

⚠️ fr fr: name a column one of these and things get weird. this is not a drill.

🦋 DBIx::Simple::OO 🦋

DBIx::Simple::OO is a third party module by Jos Boumans that provided "object" and "objects" to DBIx::Simple. Similar functionality is now built in, in part inspired by DBIx::Simple:OO. (yes, that colon is in the original, i'm not touching it, i keep every detail periodt 💖)

Using DBIx::Simple 1.33 or newer together with DBIx::Simple::OO 0.01 will result in a method name clash. 😭 DBIx::Simple::Result::RowObject was written to be compatible with DBIx::Simple::OO::Item, except for the name, so "isa" calls still need to be changed. yeah. the name. it's different. that's the whole thing.

In practice, DBIx::Simple 1.33 makes DBIx::Simple::OO obsolete. ✨ rest in peace legend, you served 🫶
