I have a many-to-many relationship between a pair of tables, using a mapping table, that Rose::DB::Object::Loader sets up properly for me.
I can use (e.g.) $widget->add_colors($a_color) to add colors to the widget, so I think it's working right. I'd like to get a count of the number of colors associated with a widget. I know that I could just fetch them and count them, but I thought that the relationship might provide a count method and now I'm distracted by the generic question of guessing automagically generated method names. >From what I read in Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Relationship::ManyToMany, I should have some method to count the number of e.g. colors associated with a given widget, and it looks like it's name seems like it might be: $widgets->colors_count() but if I use Data::Dumper one of my object and look in it's relationships field, I don't see any mention of count in auto_method_type or method name. Is the count method not created by default? If it is, how is it named? A while back john gave a nice example of walking through the documentation to understand how to specify 'now' in SQLite. Could someone give the same 'lecture' about automagically created method names?
