22 # ->schema To access schema methods:
23 $c->model('Foo')->schema->source(...);
25 # certain ->schema methods (source, resultset, class) have shortcuts
26 $c->model('Foo')->source(...);
27 $c->model('Foo')->resultset(...);
28 $c->model('Foo')->class(...);
30 # For resultsets, there's an even quicker shortcut:
32 # is the same as $c->model('Foo')->resultset('Bar')
34 # To get the composed schema for making new connections:
35 my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->composed_schema->connect(...);
37 # Or the same thing via a convenience shortcut:
38 my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->connect(...);
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(...);
45 # and again, a convenience shortcut
46 my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->clone();
47 $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
48 $newconn->connect(...);
51 This is a Catalyst Model for DBIx::Class::Schema-based Models.
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
57 "Catalyst::Model::". This parameter is required.
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
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).
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
78 new Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config
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.
84 Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this
85 model. There are already direct shortcuts on the model class itself
86 for schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class.
89 Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection
90 info, which was used in constructing the "schema" above. Useful for
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
96 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
99 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
102 Shortcut for ->schema->source
105 Shortcut for ->schema->class
108 Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
