--- Comment #16 from Tomás Cohen Arazi <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Marcel de Rooy from comment #15) > (In reply to Tomás Cohen Arazi from comment #0) > > To test: > > my @patrons = Koha::Patrons->new->empty; > > Dumper(@patrons); > > What is the practical use of doing so? You should git grep '\->empty' The existence of ->empty is meant for consistency in results, and also to avoid querying the DB for empty results when we know in advance that we need an empty resultset. > I would prefer my @patrons; Right, but my example was too simple. Sometimes ->empty is called implicitly somewhere else, far from the code you're looking at. > Was there some intention to use empty with chaining? empty is there so you don't need to do things like: if ( $result->count > 0 ) { $result = $result->filter_by_something_else; } you just chain your queries and know it will work... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
