NAME

   Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC - DBIx::Class interface for Dancer2 applications

VERSION

   version 0.0011

SYNOPSIS

       use Dancer2;
       use Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC qw(schema resultset rset);

       get '/users/:user_id' => sub {
           my $user = schema('default')->resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');

           # If you are accessing the 'default' schema, then all the following
           # are equivalent to the above:
           $user = schema->resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');
           $user = resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');
           $user = rset('User')->find(param 'user_id');

           template user_profile => {
               user => $user
           };
       };

       dance;

DESCRIPTION

   This plugin makes it very easy to create Dancer2 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 a thin wrapper around DBICx::Sugar.

CONFIGURATION

   Configuration can be done in your Dancer2 config file. This is a
   minimal example. It defines one database named default:

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db

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

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db
             schema_class: MyApp::Schema
           foo:
             dsn: dbi:mysql: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. Remember
   that you need DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed to take advantage
   of that.

   The schema_class option, should be a proper Perl package name that
   Dancer2::Plugin::DBIC will use as a DBIx::Class::Schema class.
   Optionally, a database configuration may have user, password, and
   options parameters as described in the documentation for connect() in
   DBI.

   You may also declare your connection information in the following
   format (which may look more familiar to DBIC users):

       plugins:
         DBIC:
           default:
             connect_info:
               - dbi:mysql:foo
               - bob
               - secret
               -
                 RaiseError: 1
                 PrintError: 1

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

   There are two approaches for generating schema classes. You may
   generate your own DBIx::Class classes and set the corresponding
   schema_class setting in your configuration as shown above. This is the
   recommended approach for performance and stability.

   It is also possible to have schema classes dynamically generated if you
   omit the schema_class configuration setting. This requires you to have
   DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed. The v7 naming scheme will be
   used for naming the auto generated classes. See "naming" in
   DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base for more information about naming.

   For generating your own schema classes, 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 that example, your schema_class setting would be Foo::Schema.
