2 | Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema - DBIx::Class::Schema Model Class |

4 | SYNOPSIS |
5 | package MyApp::Model::Foo; |
6 | use strict; |
7 | use base 'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema'; |
8 | |
9 | __PACKAGE__->config( |
10 | schema_class => 'Foo::SchemaClass', |
11 | connect_info => [ 'dbi:Pg:dbname=foodb', |
12 | 'postgres', |
13 | '', |

20 | # In controller code: |
21 | |
22 | # ->schema To access schema methods: |
23 | $c->model('Foo')->schema->source(...); |
24 | |
0f2fd2c0 |
25 | # certain ->schema methods (source, resultset, class) have shortcuts |
26 | $c->model('Foo')->source(...); |
27 | $c->model('Foo')->resultset(...); |
28 | $c->model('Foo')->class(...); |
29 | |
30 | # For resultsets, there's an even quicker shortcut: |
31 | $c->model('Foo::Bar') |
32 | # is the same as $c->model('Foo')->resultset('Bar') |
ad91060a |
33 | |
34 | # To get the composed schema for making new connections: |
35 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->composed_schema->connect(...); |
36 | |
37 | # Or the same thing via a convenience shortcut: |
38 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->connect(...); |
39 | |
40 | # or, if your schema works on different storage drivers: |
41 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->composed_schema->clone(); |
42 | $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP'); |
43 | $newconn->connect(...); |
44 | |
45 | # and again, a convenience shortcut |
46 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->clone(); |
47 | $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP'); |
48 | $newconn->connect(...); |

50 | DESCRIPTION |
51 | This is a Catalyst Model for DBIx::Class::Schema-based Models. |
52 | |
53 | CONFIG PARAMETERS |
54 | schema_class |
55 | This is the classname of your DBIx::Class::Schema Schema. It needs |
56 | to be findable in @INC, but it does not need to be underneath |
0f2fd2c0 |
57 | "Catalyst::Model::". This parameter is required. |
ad91060a |
58 | |
59 | connect_info |
60 | This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to |
61 | your "storage_type". For "::DBI", which is the only supported |
62 | "storage_type" in DBIx::Class at the time of this writing, the 4 |
63 | parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options |
64 | hashref. |
65 | |
0f2fd2c0 |
66 | This is not required if "schema_class" already has connection |
67 | information defined in itself (which would be the case for a Schema |
68 | defined by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, for instance). |
69 | |
ad91060a |
70 | storage_type |
71 | Allows the use of a different "storage_type" than what is set in |
72 | your "schema_class" (which in turn defaults to "::DBI" if not set in |
73 | current DBIx::Class). Completely optional, and probably unneccesary |
74 | for most people, until other storage backends become available for |
75 | DBIx::Class. |
76 | |
77 | METHODS |
78 | new Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config |
0f2fd2c0 |
79 | parameters. The only required parameter is "schema_class". |
80 | "connect_info" is required in the case that "schema_class" does not |
81 | already have connection information defined for it. |
ad91060a |
82 | |
83 | schema |
84 | Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this |
0f2fd2c0 |
85 | model. There are already direct shortcuts on the model class itself |
86 | for schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class. |
ad91060a |
87 | |
88 | composed_schema |
89 | Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection |
90 | info, which was used in constructing the "schema" above. Useful for |
0f2fd2c0 |
91 | creating new connections based on the same schema/model. There are |
92 | direct shortcuts from the model object for composed_schema->clone |
93 | and composed_schema->connect |
ad91060a |
94 | |
95 | clone |
96 | Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone |
97 | |
98 | connect |
99 | Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect |
100 | |
0f2fd2c0 |
101 | source |
102 | Shortcut for ->schema->source |
103 | |
104 | class |
105 | Shortcut for ->schema->class |
106 | |
107 | resultset |
108 | Shortcut for ->schema->resultset |
