Hello Fragzal,
a Result basicly represents a single row, while ResultSet is an object which
represents a database query.
Your should put your confirmAndGetUser method into
MyApp::Schema::ResultSet::User, like:
package MyApp::Schema::Result::User;
use Moose;
BEGIN { extends 'DBIx::Class::ResultSet'; }
sub confirmAndGetUser {
my ($self, $code) = @_;
return $self->find({ code => $code });
}
....
and than within your Controller: my $result = $c->model('DB::User')->
confirmAndGetUser($code);
Cheers,
Dimi
