=head1 NAME
FS::Query - A thin wrapper around qsearch argument hashes.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module exists because we pass qsearch argument lists around a lot,
and add new joins or WHERE expressions in several stages, and I got tired
of doing this:
my $andwhere = "mycolumn IN('perl','python','javascript')";
if ( ($search->{hashref} and keys( %{$search->{hashref}} ))
or $search->{extra_sql} =~ /^\s*WHERE/ ) {
$search->{extra_sql} .= " AND $andwhere";
} else {
$search->{extra_sql} = " WHERE $andwhere ";
}
and then having it fail under some conditions if it's done wrong (as the above
example is, obviously).
We may eventually switch over to SQL::Abstract or something for this, but for
now it's a couple of crude manipulations and a wrapper to qsearch.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item new HASHREF
Turns HASHREF (a qsearch argument list) into an FS::Query object. None of
the params are really required, but you should at least supply C
.
In the Future this may do a lot more stuff.
=cut
sub new {
my ($class, $hashref) = @_;
my $self = bless {
table => '',
select => '*',
hashref => {},
addl_from => '',
extra_sql => '',
order_by => '',
%$hashref,
};
# load FS::$table? validate anything?
$self;
}
=item clone
Returns another object that's a copy of this one.
=cut
sub clone {
my $self = shift;
$self->new( dclone($self) );
}
=item and_where EXPR
Adds a constraint to the WHERE clause of the query. All other constraints in
the WHERE clause should be joined with AND already; if not, they should be
grouped with parentheses.
=cut
sub and_where {
my $self = shift;
my $where = shift;
if ($self->{extra_sql} =~ /^\s*(?:WHERE|AND)\s+(.*)/is) {
$where = "($where) AND $1";
}
if (keys %{ $self->{hashref} }) {
$where = " AND $where";
} else {
$where = " WHERE $where";
}
$self->{extra_sql} = $where;
return $self;
}
=item qsearch
Runs the query and returns all results.
=cut
sub qsearch {
my $self = shift;
FS::Record::qsearch({ %$self });
}
=item qsearchs
Runs the query and returns only one result.
=cut
sub qsearchs {
my $self = shift;
FS::Record::qsearchs({ %$self });
}
