75 This is a Catalyst Model for L<DBIx::Class::Schema>-based Models. See
76 the documentation for L<Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema> and
77 L<Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::SchemaLoader> for information
78 on generating these Models via Helper scripts. The latter of the two
79 will also generated a L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader>-based Schema class
82 =head1 CONFIG PARAMETERS
88 This is the classname of your L<DBIx::Class::Schema> Schema. It needs
89 to be findable in C<@INC>, but it does not need to be underneath
90 C<Catalyst::Model::>. This parameter is required.
94 This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to your
95 C<storage_type>. For C<::DBI>, which is the only supported C<storage_type>
96 in L<DBIx::Class> at the time of this writing, the 4 parameters are your
97 dsn, username, password, and connect options hashref.
99 This is not required if C<schema_class> already has connection information
100 defined in itself (which would be the case for a Schema defined by
101 L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader>, for instance).
105 Allows the use of a different C<storage_type> than what is set in your
106 C<schema_class> (which in turn defaults to C<::DBI> if not set in current
107 L<DBIx::Class>). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary for most
108 people until other storage backends become available for L<DBIx::Class>.
118 Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config parameters.
119 The only required parameter is C<schema_class>. C<connect_info> is
120 required in the case that C<schema_class> does not already have connection
121 information defined for it.
125 Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this model.
126 There are already direct shortcuts on the model class itself for
127 schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class.
129 =item composed_schema
131 Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection info,
132 which was used in constructing the C<schema> above. Useful for creating
133 new connections based on the same schema/model. There are direct shortcuts
134 from the model object for composed_schema->clone and composed_schema->connect
138 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
142 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
146 Shortcut for ->schema->source
150 Shortcut for ->schema->class
154 Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
158 Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object.
159 Used often for debugging and controlling transactions.
