=head1 CONFIG PARAMETERS
-=over 4
-
-=item schema_class
+=head2 schema_class
This is the classname of your L<DBIx::Class::Schema> Schema. It needs
to be findable in C<@INC>, but it does not need to be inside the
C<Catalyst::Model::> namespace. This parameter is required.
-=item connect_info
+=head2 connect_info
This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to your
C<storage_type> (see your storage type documentation for more details).
}
]
-=item roles
+=head2 roles
Array of Roles to apply at BUILD time. Roles are relative to the
C<<MyApp::Model::DB::Role::> then C<<Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema::Role::>>
A new instance is created at application time, so any consumed required
attributes, coercions and modifiers will work.
-Roles are applied before setup, schema and connection are set, and have a chance
-to modify C<connect_info>.
+Roles are applied before setup, schema and connection are set.
C<ref $self> will be an anon class if any roles are applied.
You cannot modify C<new> or C<BUILD>, modify C<setup> instead.
-L</ACCEPT_CONTEXT> can also be modified.
+L</ACCEPT_CONTEXT> and L</finalize> can also be modified.
Roles that come with the distribution:
=item L<Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema::Role::Caching>
+=item L<Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema::Role::Replicated>
+
=back
-=item storage_type
+=head2 storage_type
Allows the use of a different C<storage_type> than what is set in your
C<schema_class> (which in turn defaults to C<::DBI> if not set in current
L<DBIx::Class>). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary for most
people until other storage backends become available for L<DBIx::Class>.

=head1 METHODS
-=over 4
-
-=item new
+=head2 new
Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config parameters.
The only required parameter is C<schema_class>. C<connect_info> is
required in the case that C<schema_class> does not already have connection
information defined for it.
-=item schema
+=head2 schema
Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this model.
There are direct shortcuts on the model class itself for
schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class.
-=item composed_schema
+=head2 composed_schema
Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection info,
which was used in constructing the C<schema> above. Useful for creating
new connections based on the same schema/model. There are direct shortcuts
from the model object for composed_schema->clone and composed_schema->connect
-=item clone
+=head2 clone
Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
-=item connect
+=head2 connect
Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
-=item source
+=head2 source
Shortcut for ->schema->source
-=item class
+=head2 class
Shortcut for ->schema->class
-=item resultset
+=head2 resultset
Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
-=item storage
+=head2 storage
Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object.
Used often for debugging and controlling transactions.
