=head1 NAME
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema - DBIx::Class::Schema Model Class
Some examples are given below:
- # You can access schema-level methods directly from the top-level model:
+ # to access schema methods directly:
+ $c->model('FilmDB')->schema->source(...);
+
+ # to access the source object, resultset, and class:
$c->model('FilmDB')->source(...);
$c->model('FilmDB')->resultset(...);
$c->model('FilmDB')->class(...);
- $c->model('FilmDB')->any_other_schema_method(...);
# For resultsets, there's an even quicker shortcut:
$c->model('FilmDB::Actor')
# is the same as $c->model('FilmDB')->resultset('Actor')
+ # To get the composed schema for making new connections:
+ my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->composed_schema->connect(...);
+
+ # Or the same thing via a convenience shortcut:
+ my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->connect(...);
+
+ # or, if your schema works on different storage drivers:
+ my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->composed_schema->clone();
+ $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
+ $newconn->connection(...);
+
+ # and again, a convenience shortcut
+ my $newconn = $c->model('FilmDB')->clone();
+ $newconn->storage_type('::LDAP');
+ $newconn->connection(...);
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a Catalyst Model for L<DBIx::Class::Schema>-based Models. See
C<storage_type> in L<DBIx::Class> at the time of this writing, the
parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options hashref.
-See L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI/connect_info> for more details.
+If you need to specify the L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> specific parameter
+C<on_connect_do>, or the related C<sql_maker> options C<limit_dialect>,
+C<quote_char>, or C<name_sep>, you can place these options into a hashref
+as the final element of the C<connect_info> arrayref. If in doubt, don't
+specify these options. You would know it if you needed them.
Examples:
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>).
+L<DBIx::Class>). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary for most
+people until other storage backends become available for L<DBIx::Class>.

required in the case that C<schema_class> does not already have connection
information defined for it.
-=item COMPONENT
+=item 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
+
+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
+
+Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone
+
+=item connect
+
+Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect
+
+=item source
-Tells the Catalyst component architecture that the encapsulated schema
-object is to be returned for $c->model calls for this model name.
+Shortcut for ->schema->source
+
+=item class
+
+Shortcut for ->schema->class
+
+=item resultset
+
+Shortcut for ->schema->resultset
+
+=item storage
+
+Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object.
+Used often for debugging and controlling transactions.
