package DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::Cookbook::CustomResultSource; # ABSTRACT: Customize how your DBICDH versions are stored =pod =head1 DESCRIPTION One of the reasons for the absurd level of flexibility that L is so that you can do things that we did not originally anticipate. Surprisingly, I never added a method to change the table for the version storage. That's fine though, the following recipe shows how one can do it in style: =head2 Version Storage package MyApp::Schema::DBICDHStorage; # the following is necessary for some setups use MyApp::Schema::DBICDHStorageResult; use Moose; extends 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::VersionStorage::Standard'; sub _build_version_rs { $_[0]->schema->register_class( __VERSION => 'MyApp::Schema::DBICDHStorageResult' ); $_[0]->schema->resultset('__VERSION') } no Moose; __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; 1; There's not a whole lot special there. The only real bit of code to point out is the C call. We make sure to point C<__VERSION> to the result class that we will define next. =head2 Version Result Class package MyApp::Schema::DBICDHStorageResult; use parent 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::VersionStorage::Standard::VersionResult'; __PACKAGE__->table('fl_bench_journal_versions'); 1; As you can see, this is almost silly how simple it is, we just change the table being set on the original result. =head2 Our very own DeploymentHandler package MyApp::Schema::DeploymentHandler; use Moose; extends 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::Dad'; # a single with would be better, but we can't do that # see: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46347 with 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::WithApplicatorDumple' => { interface_role => 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::HandlesDeploy', class_name => 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::DeployMethod::SQL::Translator', delegate_name => 'deploy_method', attributes_to_assume => ['schema'], attributes_to_copy => [qw( databases script_directory sql_translator_args )], }, 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::WithApplicatorDumple' => { interface_role => 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::HandlesVersioning', class_name => 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::VersionHandler::Monotonic', delegate_name => 'version_handler', attributes_to_assume => [qw( database_version schema_version to_version )], }, 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::WithApplicatorDumple' => { interface_role => 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::HandlesVersionStorage', class_name => 'MyApp::Schema::DBICDHStorage', delegate_name => 'version_storage', attributes_to_assume => ['schema'], }; with 'DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler::WithReasonableDefaults'; sub prepare_version_storage_install { my $self = shift; $self->prepare_resultsource_install({ result_source => $self->version_storage->version_rs->result_source }); } sub install_version_storage { my $self = shift; my $version = (shift || {})->{version} || $self->schema_version; $self->install_resultsource({ result_source => $self->version_storage->version_rs->result_source, version => $version, }); } sub prepare_install { $_[0]->prepare_deploy; $_[0]->prepare_version_storage_install; } no Moose; __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; 1; Note: if you are using decimal numbers for versioning, you should ammend this DeploymentHandler package, setting it's VersionHandler class_name from Monotonic ( which handles integer only version numbers ) to ExplicitVersions or DatabaseToSchemaVersions, as these handle version numbers as strings instead of integers.
