NAME

DBIx::Class::Helper::ColumnNames - Retrieve column names from a resultset

VERSION

version v0.1.2

SYNOPSIS

In a resultset:

package MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::Wobbles;

use base qw/DBIx::Class::ResultSet/;

__PACKAGE__->load_components( qw/
    Helper::ColumnNames
/);

This adds a "get_column_names" method to the resultset.

DESCRIPTION

This method is useful for simple applications that extract a column header from arbitrary result sets, to display an HTML table or to export as a spreadsheet, for example.

METHODS

get_column_names

my @header = $rs->get_column_names;

This method attempts to return the column names of the resultset.

If no columns are specified using the columns or select attributes, then it will return the default columns names.

Note that when multiple columns are defined in a hash reference that the order of columns will be non-deterministic.

CAVEATS

This module is experimental, and relies on some internals from DBIx::Class.

SUPPORT FOR OLDER PERL VERSIONS

This module requires Perl v5.20 or later.

Future releases may only support Perl versions released in the last ten years.
