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 | '', |
14 | { AutoCommit => 1 }, |

20 | # In controller code: |
21 | |
22 | # ->schema To access schema methods: |
23 | $c->model('Foo')->schema->source(...); |
24 | |
25 | # Shortcut to the schema resultset monikers for ->search et al: |
26 | $c->model('Foo::Bar')->search(...); |
27 | # is the same as $c->model('Foo')->schema->resultset('Bar')->search(...); |
28 | |
29 | # To get the composed schema for making new connections: |
30 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->composed_schema->connect(...); |
31 | |
32 | # Or the same thing via a convenience shortcut: |
33 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->connect(...); |
34 | |
35 | # or, if your schema works on different storage drivers: |
36 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->composed_schema->clone(); |
37 | $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP'); |
38 | $newconn->connect(...); |
39 | |
40 | # and again, a convenience shortcut |
41 | my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->clone(); |
42 | $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP'); |
43 | $newconn->connect(...); |

45 | DESCRIPTION |
46 | This is a Catalyst Model for DBIx::Class::Schema-based Models. |
47 | |
48 | CONFIG PARAMETERS |
49 | schema_class |
50 | This is the classname of your DBIx::Class::Schema Schema. It needs |
51 | to be findable in @INC, but it does not need to be underneath |
52 | "Catalyst::Model::". |
53 | |
54 | connect_info |
55 | This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to |
56 | your "storage_type". For "::DBI", which is the only supported |
57 | "storage_type" in DBIx::Class at the time of this writing, the 4 |
58 | parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options |
59 | hashref. |
60 | |
61 | storage_type |
62 | Allows the use of a different "storage_type" than what is set in |
63 | your "schema_class" (which in turn defaults to "::DBI" if not set in |
64 | current DBIx::Class). Completely optional, and probably unneccesary |
65 | for most people, until other storage backends become available for |
66 | DBIx::Class. |
67 | |
68 | METHODS |
69 | new Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config |
70 | parameters. |
71 | |
72 | schema |
73 | Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this |
74 | model. |
75 | |
76 | composed_schema |
77 | Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection |
78 | info, which was used in constructing the "schema" above. Useful for |
79 | creating new connections based on the same schema/model. |
80 | |
81 | clone |
82 | Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone |
83 | |
84 | connect |
85 | Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect |
