# DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Me(3pm)

Define predefined searches more nicely

## NAME

DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::Me - Define predefined searches more nicely

## SYNOPSIS

```
 # note that this is normally a component for a ResultSet
 package MySchema::ResultSet::Bar;
 use strict;
 use warnings;
 use parent 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet';
 use constant CANDY => 1;
 __PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::ResultSet::Me');
 sub candy {
    $_[0]->search({ $_[0]->me.'type' => CANDY })
 }
 sub cake {
    $_[0]->search({ $_[0]->me('type') => CAKE })
 }
 # in code using resultset:
 my $candy_bars = $schema->resultset('Bar')->candy;
 my $cake_bars  = $schema->resultset('Bar')->cake;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This component allows slightly nicer predefined search definition.  See "NOTE" in DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet for a nice way to apply it to your entire schema.

It defines a single method that is shorter and (to most) clearer than "current\_source\_alias" in DBIx::Class::ResultSet, which is what it uses for the "me" method.

## METHODS

### me

Merely returns the SQL namespace for the current search with a `"."` at the end, allowing internal resultset methods to be defined with `"$self->me"` instead of `"$self->current_source_alias . q(.)"`.  Also, if you pass it a single argument it will append that to the returned string.
