    <p>I'm using <code>Moose</code> (specifically <code>MooseX::Declare</code>) to create an iterator object, <code>Iter</code> which has a <code>next</code> method that advances state and returns <code>0</code> or <code>1</code> as required for use in a <code>while</code> statement. The problem I'm running into is that depending on the existence of one of the construction parameters, <code>next</code> needs to perform two very different sets of operations. The way I see it I have five options:</p> <ol> <li>if ... then in <code>next</code> method </li> <li>subclass</li> <li>hash dispatch</li> <li>symbol table manipulation</li> <li>put methods in different modules and load required one at construction time</li> </ol> <p><strong>Number 1</strong> is just amateur.</p> <p><strong>Number 2</strong> is, I suppose, the proper OOP way of doing things. I have no objections to doing it that way but seems a little bit overkill simply to override a single method. </p> <p>I've often used <strong>Number 3</strong> in the past when working procedurally or pseudo-functionally and it's what I'm doing now.</p> <p><strong>Number 4</strong> is, as we all know, fraught with peril and I know nothing about Moose Guts to want to start messing around when unnecessary.</p> <p>The last item, <strong>number 5</strong> seems to me to be the most sensible (and Perlish) but like Number 2, is a little too much work. I'm really wondering if there's a fifth way I haven't considered such as hooking into the metaclass or perhaps a <code>MooseX</code> module that is reasonably mature.</p>

    1. COYou might want to further explain what the different actions are that the iterator should perform. It's hard to give design advice without knowing the full use-case.

    2. COWell, I'm really looking for a best practice not implementation specifics. What I have works just fine but is hash dispatching really want I want to do within the `Moose` paradigm? That is, what is the 'Moosy' way to do this?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
