NAME

Rapi::Blog::DB::Component::ResultSet::ListAPI - Common "ListAPI" interface

DESCRIPTION

This is a DBIx::Class component for ResultSet classes that is used for the common list_* methods (such as list_posts, list_users) exposed to Rapi::Blog scaffold templates. It provides a mechanism to define input params on a class-by-class basis, but returns a common result packet.

RESULT PACKET

The "ListAPI" call to methods such as list_posts will always return a HashRef result packet containing exactly two keys 'rows' which contains an ArrayRef of matching Row objects and 'meta' which contains additional params and details regarding the data set.

The meta packet is a HashRef containing the following params:

count

Number of items returned (this page)

total

Total number of items (all pages)

page

Page number of current page

pages

Total number of pages

last_page

True if the current page is the last page

complete

end

remaining
