NAME

   Mojo::DB::Results::Role::Struct - Database query results as structs

SYNOPSIS

     use Mojo::SQLite;
     my $sqlite = Mojo::SQLite->new(...);
     my $results = $sqlite->db->query('SELECT * FROM "table" WHERE "foo" = ?', 42);
     my $struct = $results->with_roles('Mojo::DB::Results::Role::Struct')->structs->first;
     my $bar = $struct->bar; # dies unless column "bar" exists

     use Mojo::Pg;
     my $pg = Mojo::Pg->new(...)->with_roles('Mojo::DB::Role::ResultsRoles');
     push @{$pg->results_roles}, 'Mojo::DB::Results::Role::Struct';
     my $results = $pg->db->query('SELECT "foo", "bar" FROM "table"');
     foreach my $row ($results->structs->each) {
       my $foo = $row->foo;
       my $bar = $row->baz; # dies
     }

DESCRIPTION

   This role can be applied to a results object for Mojo::Pg or similar
   database APIs. It provides "struct" and "structs" methods which return
   Struct::Dumb records, providing read-only accessors only for the
   expected column names. Note that a column name that is not a valid
   identifier is trickier to access in this manner.

     my $row = $results->struct;
     my $col_name = 'foo.bar';
     my $val = $row->$col_name;
     # or
     my $val = $row->${\'foo.bar'};

   You can apply the role to a results object using "with_roles" in
   Mojo::Base, or apply it to all results objects created by a database
   manager using Mojo::DB::Role::ResultsRoles as shown in the synopsis.

METHODS

   Mojo::DB::Results::Role::Struct composes the following methods.

struct

     my $struct = $results->struct;

   Fetch next row from the statement handle with the result object's array
   method, and return it as a struct.

structs

     my $collection = $results->structs;

   Fetch all rows from the statement handle with the result object's
   arrays method, and return them as a Mojo::Collection object containing
   structs.
