DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet::AutoRemoveColumns - Automatically remove columns from a ResultSet

=head1 VERSION

version 2.020000

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package MySchema::Result::Bar;

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use parent 'DBIx::Class::Core';

 __PACKAGE__->table('KittenRobot');
 __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
    id => {
       data_type         => 'integer',
       is_auto_increment => 1,
    },
    kitten => {
       data_type         => 'integer',
    },
    robot => {
       data_type         => 'text',
       is_nullable       => 1,
    },
    your_mom => {
       data_type         => 'blob',
       is_nullable       => 1,
       remove_column     => 0,

 __PACKAGE__->load_components('Helper::ResultSet::AutoRemoveColumns');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This component automatically removes "heavy-weight" columns.  To be specific,
columns of type C<text>, C<ntext>, C<blob>, C<clob>, or C<bytea>.  You may
use the C<remove_column> key in the column info to specify directly whether or
not to remove the column automatically. See
L<DBIx::Class::Helper::ResultSet/NOTE> for a nice way to apply it to your
entire schema.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 _should_column_fetch

 $self->_should_column_fetch('kitten')

returns true if a column should be fetched or not.  This fetches a column if it
is not of type C<text>, C<ntext>, C<blob>, C<clob>, or C<bytea> or the
C<remove_column> is set to true.  If you only wanted to explicitly state which
columns to remove you might override this method like this:

 sub _should_column_fetch {
    my ( $self, $column ) = @_;

    my $info = $self->column_info($column);

    return !defined $info->{remove_column} || $info->{remove_column};
 }

=head2 fetchable_columns

simply returns a list of columns that are fetchable.
