I've been doing a lot of repetitive operations on the results from
manager functions lately.
Today I think I realized a functionality that might make sense -- if
the results returned by a manager call weren't simply an array, but a
class object.
It would behave just as an array - there would be no real difference
in current functionality. perhaps a tied array or blessed reference.
By default, there would be a Rose::DB::Object::ManagerResult class
that does basically nothing but support common array functions.
Calls to manager functions would then accept a manager_result_class
parameter , which is the name of the class to return the result as
( defaults to Rose::DB::Object::ManagerResult )
given a list of manager results, one can then further filter the
results without hitting the db, or easily loop through the items to
do a repetitive task
ie:
my $past_addresses= manager_get_past_addresses_for_userid( 1 );
my $ny_addresses= $past_addresses->get_limit_to_ny();
$past_addresses->mark_as_private();
there are a lot of pros and cons to this approach, and it can get
utterly confusing to some...
but i think it could be pretty neat.
opinions ?
