7 use base 'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema';
10 schema_class => 'Foo::SchemaClass',
11 connect_info => [ 'dbi:Pg:dbname=foodb',
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->connection(...);
45 # and again, a convenience shortcut
46 my $newconn = $c->model('Foo')->clone();
47 $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
48 $newconn->connection(...);
51 This is a Catalyst Model for DBIx::Class::Schema-based Models. See the
52 documentation for Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema and
53 Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::SchemaLoader for information on
54 generating these Models via Helper scripts. The latter of the two will
55 also generated a DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader-based Schema class for you.
59 This is the classname of your DBIx::Class::Schema Schema. It needs
60 to be findable in @INC, but it does not need to be underneath
61 "Catalyst::Model::". This parameter is required.
64 This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to
65 your "storage_type". For "::DBI", which is the only supported
66 "storage_type" in DBIx::Class at the time of this writing, the 4
67 parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options
70 This is not required if "schema_class" already has connection
71 information defined in itself (which would be the case for a Schema
72 defined by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, for instance).
75 Allows the use of a different "storage_type" than what is set in
76 your "schema_class" (which in turn defaults to "::DBI" if not set in
77 current DBIx::Class). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary
78 for most people until other storage backends become available for
82 new Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config
83 parameters. The only required parameter is "schema_class".
84 "connect_info" is required in the case that "schema_class" does not
85 already have connection information defined for it.
88 Accessor which returns the connected schema being used by the this
89 model. There are already direct shortcuts on the model class itself
90 for schema->resultset, schema->source, and schema->class.
93 Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection
94 info, which was used in constructing the "schema" above. Useful for
95 creating new connections based on the same schema/model. There are
96 direct shortcuts from the model object for composed_schema->clone
97 and composed_schema->connect
100 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
103 Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
106 Shortcut for ->schema->source
109 Shortcut for ->schema->class
112 Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
115 Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object. Used
116 often for debugging and controlling transactions.
