DESCRIPTION
   This plugin makes it very easy to create Dancer applications that
   interface with databases. It automatically exports the keyword "schema"
   which returns a DBIx::Class::Schema object. You just need to configure
   your database connection information. For performance, schema objects
   are cached in memory and are lazy loaded the first time they are
   accessed.

   This plugin is now just a thin wrapper around DBICx::Sugar.

CONFIGURATION
   Configuration can be done in your Dancer config file.

 simple example
   Here is a simple example. It defines one database named "default":

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=myapp.db
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema

 multiple schemas
   In this example, there are 2 databases configured named "default" and
   "foo":

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=myapp.db
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema
           foo:
             dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=foo
             schema_class: Foo::Schema
             user: bob
             password: secret
             options:
               RaiseError: 1
               PrintError: 1

   Each database configured must at least have a dsn option. The dsn option
   should be the DBI driver connection string. All other options are
   optional.

   If you only have one schema configured, or one of them is named
   "default", you can call "schema" without an argument to get the only or
   "default" schema, respectively.

   If a schema_class option is not provided, then
   DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader will be used to dynamically load the schema
   by introspecting the database corresponding to the dsn value. You need
   DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed for this to work.

   WARNING: Dynamic loading is not recommended for production environments.
   It is almost always better to provide a schema_class option.

   The schema_class option should be the name of your DBIx::Class::Schema
   class. See "SCHEMA GENERATION" Optionally, a database configuration may
   have user, password, and options parameters as described in the
   documentation for "connect()" in DBI.

 connect_info
   Alternatively, you may also declare your connection information inside
   an array named "connect_info":

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema
             connect_info:
               - dbi:Pg:dbname=foo
               - bob
               - secret
               -
                 RaiseError: 1
                 PrintError: 1

 replicated
   You can also add database read slaves to your configuration with the
   "replicated" config option. This will automatically make your read
   queries go to a slave and your write queries go to the master. Keep in
   mind that this will require additional dependencies:
   DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies#Storage::Replicated See
   DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated for more details. Here is an
   example configuration that adds two read slaves:

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema
             dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=master
             replicated:
               balancer_type: ::Random     # optional
               balancer_args:              # optional
                   auto_validate_every: 5  # optional
                   master_read_weight:1    # optional
               # pool_type and pool_args are also allowed and are also optional
               replicants:
                 -
                   - dbi:Pg:dbname=slave1
                   - user1
                   - password1
                   -
                     quote_names: 1
                     pg_enable_utf8: 1
                 -
                   - dbi:Pg:dbname=slave2
                   - user2
                   - password2
                   -
                     quote_names: 1
                     pg_enable_utf8: 1

 alias
   Schema aliases allow you to reference the same underlying database by
   multiple names. For example:

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=master
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema
           slave1:
             alias: default

   Now you can access the default schema with "schema()",
   "schema('default')", or "schema('slave1')". This can come in handy if,
   for example, you have master/slave replication in your production
   environment but only a single database in your development environment.
   You can continue to reference "schema('slave1')" in your code in both
   environments by simply creating a schema alias in your development.yml
   config file, as shown above.

FUNCTIONS
 schema
       my $user = schema->resultset('User')->find('bob');

   The "schema" keyword returns a DBIx::Class::Schema object ready for you
   to use. If you have configured only one database, then you can simply
   call "schema" with no arguments. If you have configured multiple
   databases, you can still call "schema" with no arguments if there is a
   database named "default" in the configuration. With no argument, the
   "default" schema is returned. Otherwise, you must provide "schema()"
   with the name of the database:

       my $user = schema('foo')->resultset('User')->find('bob');

 resultset
   This is a convenience method that will save you some typing. Use this
   only when accessing the "default" schema.

       my $user = resultset('User')->find('bob');

   is equivalent to:

       my $user = schema->resultset('User')->find('bob');

 rset
       my $user = rset('User')->find('bob');

   This is simply an alias for "resultset".

SCHEMA GENERATION
   Setting the schema_class option and having proper DBIx::Class classes is
   the recommended approach for performance and stability. You can use the
   dbicdump command line tool provided by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader to
   help you. For example, if your app were named Foo, then you could run
   the following from the root of your project directory:

       dbicdump -o dump_directory=./lib Foo::Schema dbi:SQLite:/path/to/foo.db

   For this example, your "schema_class" setting would be 'Foo::Schema'.
