17Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema - DBIx::Class::Schema Model Class
18
19=head1 SYNOPSIS
20
aabc1d75 21Manual creation of a DBIx::Class::Schema and a Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema:
22
23=over
24
25=item 1.
26
27Create the DBIx:Class schema in MyApp/Schema/FilmDB.pm:
28
29 package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB;
30 use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
31
32 __PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw/Actor Role/);
33
34=item 2.
35
36Create some classes for the tables in the database, for example an
37Actor in MyApp/Schema/FilmDB/Actor.pm:
38
39 package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB::Actor;
40 use base qw/DBIx::Class/
41
42 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
43 __PACKAGE__->table('actor');
44
45 ...
46
47and a Role in MyApp/Schema/Role.pm:
48
49 package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB::Role;
50 use base qw/DBIx::Class/
51
52 __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
4a3e80e9 53 __PACKAGE__->table('role');
aabc1d75 54
55 ...
56
57Notice that the schema is in MyApp::Schema, not in MyApp::Model. This way it's
58usable as a standalone module and you can test/run it without Catalyst.
59
60=item 3.
61
62To expose it to Catalyst as a model, you should create a DBIC Model in
63MyApp/Model/FilmDB.pm:
64
65 package MyApp::Model::FilmDB;
66 use base qw/Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema/;
67
68 __PACKAGE__->config(
69 schema_class => 'MyApp::Schema::FilmDB',
70 connect_info => [
71 "DBI:...",
72 "username",
73 "password",
74 {AutoCommit => 1}
75 ]
76 );
77
78See below for a full list of the possible config parameters.
79
80=back
81
82Now you have a working Model, accessing your separate DBIC Schema. Which can
83be used/accessed in the normal Catalyst manner, via $c->model():
84
85 my $actor = $c->model('FilmDB::Actor')->find(1);
86
87You can also use it to set up DBIC authentication with
88Authentication::Store::DBIC in MyApp.pm:
89
90 package MyApp;
91
92 use Catalyst qw/... Authentication::Store::DBIC/;
93
94 ...
95
96 __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication}{dbic} = {
97 user_class => 'FilmDB::Actor',
98 user_field => 'name',
99 password_field => 'password'
100 }
101
102C<< $c->model() >> returns a L<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> for the source name
103parameter passed. To find out more about which methods can be called on a
104ResultSet, or how to add your own methods to it, please see the ResultSet
105documentation in the L<DBIx::Class> distribution.
106
107Some examples are given below:
108
109 # to access schema methods directly:
110 $c->model('FilmDB')->schema->source(...);
111
112 # to access the source object, resultset, and class:
113 $c->model('FilmDB')->source(...);
114 $c->model('FilmDB')->resultset(...);
115 $c->model('FilmDB')->class(...);
c12b7310 116
117 # For resultsets, there's an even quicker shortcut:
150c864c 118 $c->model('FilmDB::Actor')
aabc1d75 119 # is the same as $c->model('FilmDB')->resultset('Actor')
ad91060a 120
121 # To get the composed schema for making new connections:
aabc1d75 122 my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->composed_schema->connect(...);
ad91060a 123
124 # Or the same thing via a convenience shortcut:
aabc1d75 125 my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->connect(...);
ad91060a 126
127 # or, if your schema works on different storage drivers:
aabc1d75 128 my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->composed_schema->clone();
ad91060a 129 $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
f7a944f8 130 $newconn->connection(...);
ad91060a 131
132 # and again, a convenience shortcut
aabc1d75 133 my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->clone();
ad91060a 134 $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
f7a944f8 135 $newconn->connection(...);
ad91060a 136
137=head1 DESCRIPTION
138
7b39f3f0 139This is a Catalyst Model for L<DBIx::Class::Schema>-based Models. See
140the documentation for L<Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema> and
1aeb6e1e 141L<Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::SchemaLoader> for information
142on generating these Models via Helper scripts. The latter of the two
143will also generated a L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader>-based Schema class
144for you.
ad91060a 145
146=head1 CONFIG PARAMETERS
147
148=over 4
149
150=item schema_class
151
152This is the classname of your L<DBIx::Class::Schema> Schema. It needs
aabc1d75 153to be findable in C<@INC>, but it does not need to be inside the
154C<Catalyst::Model::> namespace. This parameter is required.
ad91060a 155
156=item connect_info
157
158This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to your
7db6da78 159C<storage_type> (see your storage type documentation for more details).
ad91060a 160
0f2fd2c0 161This is not required if C<schema_class> already has connection information
d89e6c8a 162defined inside itself (which isn't highly recommended, but can be done)
0f2fd2c0 163
7db6da78 164For L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>, which is the only supported
165C<storage_type> in L<DBIx::Class> at the time of this writing, the
166parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options hashref.
167
168If you need to specify the L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> specific parameter
169C<on_connect_do>, or the related C<sql_maker> options C<limit_dialect>,
170C<quote_char>, or C<name_sep>, you can place these options into a hashref
171as the final element of the C<connect_info> arrayref. If in doubt, don't
172specify these options. You would know it if you needed them.
173
174Examples:
175
176 connect_info => [ 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb', 'postgres', '' ],
aabc1d75 177
7db6da78 178 connect_info => [
179 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo.db',
180 {
181 on_connect_do => [
aabc1d75 182 'PRAGMA synchronous = OFF',
7db6da78 183 ],
184 }
185 ],
aabc1d75 186
7db6da78 187 connect_info => [
188 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb',
189 'postgres',
190 '',
191 { AutoCommit => 0 },
192 {
193 on_connect_do => [
194 'some SQL statement',
195 'another SQL statement',
196 ],
197 }
198 ],
199
ad91060a 200=item storage_type
201
202Allows the use of a different C<storage_type> than what is set in your
203C<schema_class> (which in turn defaults to C<::DBI> if not set in current
b8427e0b 204L<DBIx::Class>). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary for most
205people until other storage backends become available for L<DBIx::Class>.

208
209=head1 METHODS
210
211=over 4
212
213=item new
214
215Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config parameters.
0f2fd2c0 216The only required parameter is C<schema_class>. C<connect_info> is
217required in the case that C<schema_class> does not already have connection
218information defined for it.
ad91060a 219
220=item schema
221
222Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this model.
aabc1d75 223There are direct shortcuts on the model class itself for
c12b7310 224schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class.
ad91060a 225
226=item composed_schema
227
228Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection info,
229which was used in constructing the C<schema> above. Useful for creating
c12b7310 230new connections based on the same schema/model. There are direct shortcuts
231from the model object for composed_schema->clone and composed_schema->connect
ad91060a 232
233=item clone
234
235Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
236
237=item connect
238
239Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
240
c12b7310 241=item source
242
243Shortcut for ->schema->source
244
245=item class
246
247Shortcut for ->schema->class
248
249=item resultset
250
251Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
252
b8427e0b 253=item storage
254
255Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object.
256Used often for debugging and controlling transactions.
