NAME

    DBIx::Class::Schema::ResultSetNames - Add singluar and plural resultset
    accessors from schema class names

VERSION

    Version 1.0.

SYNOPSIS

        # in MyApp::Schema
        __PACKAGE__->load_components('Schema::ResultSetNames');

DESCRIPTION

    DBIx::Class::Schema::ResultSetNames adds both singular and plural
    method accessors for all resultsets.

    So, instead of this:

        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(...);
        my $result = $schema->resultset('Author')->search({...});

    you may choose to this:

        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(...);
        my $result = $schema->authors->search({...});

    And instead of this:

        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(...);
        my $result = $schema->resultset('Author')->find($id);

    you may choose to this:

        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect(...);
        my $result = $schema->author($id)

 What is returned?

    If you call the plural form of the resultset (e.g. `authors`), you will
    get a DBIx::Class::ResultSet, which may be empty, if no rows satisfy
    whatever criteria you've chained behind it.

    For the singular form (`author`), you'll get a DBIx::Class::Row, or
    `undef`, if the selected row does not exist.

 A note about `find`.

    It is perfectly permissible to use find (or the singular accessor, in
    this module) to locate something by including a hashref of search
    terms:

       my $result = $schema->resultSet('Author')->find({ name => 'John Smith });  # Old way
       my $result = $schema->author({ name => 'John Smith' });                    # New way 

    However, be aware that `find()` and this module will both complain if
    your request will return multiple rows, and throw a warning. `find()`
    expects to return one row or undef, which is why it is best used on
    unique keys.

 "Let not your heart be troubled..." about relationships.

    This doesn't tamper with relationship accessors in any way. If you have
    a table of Authors and a table of Books, the usual sort of
    `book($id)->author()`, and `author($id)->books()` relationship tools
    will still work just fine.

CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

    Practically all of this code is the work of Matt S Trout (mst)
    <https://metacpan.org/author/MSTROUT>. It was created alongside a
    Dancer2 plugin that he has helped greatly with. I just tidied things up
    and wrote documentation.
