NAME
   Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema - DBIx::Class::Schema Model Class

SYNOPSIS
   Manual creation of a DBIx::Class::Schema and a
   Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema:

   1.  Create the DBIx:Class schema in MyApp/Schema/FilmDB.pm:

         package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB;
         use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;

         __PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw/Actor Role/);

   2.  Create some classes for the tables in the database, for example an
       Actor in MyApp/Schema/FilmDB/Actor.pm:

         package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB::Actor;
         use base qw/DBIx::Class/

         __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
         __PACKAGE__->table('actor');

         ...

       and a Role in MyApp/Schema/FilmDB/Role.pm:

         package MyApp::Schema::FilmDB::Role;
         use base qw/DBIx::Class/

         __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/Core/);
         __PACKAGE__->table('role');

         ...

       Notice that the schema is in MyApp::Schema, not in MyApp::Model.
       This way it's usable as a standalone module and you can test/run it
       without Catalyst.

   3.  To expose it to Catalyst as a model, you should create a DBIC Model
       in MyApp/Model/FilmDB.pm:

         package MyApp::Model::FilmDB;
         use base qw/Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema/;

         __PACKAGE__->config(
             schema_class => 'MyApp::Schema::FilmDB',
             connect_info => {
                               dsn => "DBI:...",
                               user => "username",
                               password => "password",
                             }
         );

       See below for a full list of the possible config parameters.

   Now you have a working Model which accesses your separate DBIC Schema.
   This can be used/accessed in the normal Catalyst manner, via
   $c->model():

     my $actor = $c->model('FilmDB::Actor')->find(1);

   You can also use it to set up DBIC authentication with
   Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class in MyApp.pm:

     package MyApp;

     use Catalyst qw/... Authentication .../;

     ...

     __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication} =
                   {
                       default_realm => 'members',
                       realms => {
                           members => {
                               credential => {
                                   class => 'Password',
                                   password_field => 'password',
                                   password_type => 'hashed'
                                   password_hash_type => 'SHA-256'
                               },
                               store => {
                                   class => 'DBIx::Class',
                                   user_model => 'DB::User',
                                   role_relation => 'roles',
                                   role_field => 'rolename',
                               }
                           }
                       }
                   };

   "$c->model('Schema::Source')" returns a DBIx::Class::ResultSet for the
   source name parameter passed. To find out more about which methods can
   be called on a ResultSet, or how to add your own methods to it, please
   see the ResultSet documentation in the DBIx::Class distribution.

   Some examples are given below:

     # 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(...);

     # 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(...);

DESCRIPTION
   This is a Catalyst Model for DBIx::Class::Schema-based Models. See the
   documentation for Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema for information
   on generating these Models via Helper scripts.

   When your Catalyst app starts up, a thin Model layer is created as an
   interface to your DBIC Schema. It should be clearly noted that the model
   object returned by "$c->model('FilmDB')" is NOT itself a DBIC schema or
   resultset object, but merely a wrapper proving methods to access the
   underlying schema.

   In addition to this model class, a shortcut class is generated for each
   source in the schema, allowing easy and direct access to a resultset of
   the corresponding type. These generated classes are even thinner than
   the model class, providing no public methods but simply hooking into
   Catalyst's model() accessor via the ACCEPT_CONTEXT mechanism. The
   complete contents of each generated class is roughly equivalent to the
   following:

     package MyApp::Model::FilmDB::Actor
     sub ACCEPT_CONTEXT {
         my ($self, $c) = @_;
         $c->model('FilmDB')->resultset('Actor');
     }

   In short, there are three techniques available for obtaining a DBIC
   resultset object:

     # the long way
     my $rs = $c->model('FilmDB')->schema->resultset('Actor');

     # using the shortcut method on the model object
     my $rs = $c->model('FilmDB')->resultset('Actor');

     # using the generated class directly
     my $rs = $c->model('FilmDB::Actor');

   In order to add methods to a DBIC resultset, you cannot simply add them
   to the source (row, table) definition class; you must define a separate
   custom resultset class. See "Predefined searches" in
   DBIx::Class::Manual::Cookbook for more info.

CONFIG PARAMETERS
 schema_class
   This is the classname of your DBIx::Class::Schema Schema. It needs to be
   findable in @INC, but it does not need to be inside the
   "Catalyst::Model::" namespace. This parameter is required.

 connect_info
   This is an arrayref of connection parameters, which are specific to your
   "storage_type" (see your storage type documentation for more details).
   If you only need one parameter (e.g. the DSN), you can just pass a
   string instead of an arrayref.

   This is not required if "schema_class" already has connection
   information defined inside itself (which isn't highly recommended, but
   can be done)

   For DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI, which is the only supported
   "storage_type" in DBIx::Class at the time of this writing, the
   parameters are your dsn, username, password, and connect options
   hashref.

   See "connect_info" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI for a detailed
   explanation of the arguments supported.

   Examples:

     connect_info => {
       dsn => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb',
       user => 'postgres',
       password => ''
     }

     connect_info => {
       dsn => 'dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo.db',
       on_connect_do => [
         'PRAGMA synchronous = OFF',
       ]
     }

     connect_info => {
       dsn => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb',
       user => 'postgres',
       password => '',
       pg_enable_utf8 => 1,
       on_connect_do => [
         'some SQL statement',
         'another SQL statement',
       ],
     }

   Or using Config::General:

       <Model::FilmDB>
           schema_class   MyApp::Schema::FilmDB
           traits Caching
           <connect_info>
               dsn   dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb
               user   postgres
               password ""
               auto_savepoint 1
               quote_char """
               on_connect_do   some SQL statement
               on_connect_do   another SQL statement
           </connect_info>
       </Model::FilmDB>

   or

       <Model::FilmDB>
           schema_class   MyApp::Schema::FilmDB
           connect_info   dbi:SQLite:dbname=foo.db
       </Model::FilmDB>

   Or using YAML:

     Model::MyDB:
         schema_class: MyDB
         connect_info:
             dsn: dbi:Oracle:mydb
             user: mtfnpy
             password: mypass
             LongReadLen: 1000000
             LongTruncOk: 1
             on_connect_do: [ "alter session set nls_date_format = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'" ]
             cursor_class: 'DBIx::Class::Cursor::Cached'
             quote_char: '"'

   The old arrayref style with hashrefs for DBI then DBIx::Class options is
   also supported:

     connect_info => [
       'dbi:Pg:dbname=mypgdb',
       'postgres',
       '',
       {
         pg_enable_utf8 => 1,
       },
       {
         auto_savepoint => 1,
         on_connect_do => [
           'some SQL statement',
           'another SQL statement',
         ],
       }
     ]

 traits
   Array of Traits to apply to the instance. Traits are Moose::Roles.

   They are relative to the "MyApp::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::", then
   the "Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::" namespaces, unless
   prefixed with "+" in which case they are taken to be a fully qualified
   name. E.g.:

       traits Caching
       traits +MyApp::TraitFor::Model::Foo

   A new instance is created at application time, so any consumed required
   attributes, coercions and modifiers will work.

   Traits are applied at "COMPONENT" in Catalyst::Component time using
   CatalystX::Component::Traits.

   "ref $self" will be an anon class if any traits are applied,
   "$self->_original_class_name" will be the original class.

   When writing a Trait, interesting points to modify are "BUILD", "setup"
   and "ACCEPT_CONTEXT".

   Traits that come with the distribution:

   Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::Caching
   Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Schema::Replicated

 storage_type
   Allows the use of a different "storage_type" than what is set in your
   "schema_class" (which in turn defaults to "::DBI" if not set in current
   DBIx::Class). Completely optional, and probably unnecessary for most
   people until other storage backends become available for DBIx::Class.

ATTRIBUTES
   The keys you pass in the model configuration are available as
   attributes.

   Other attributes available:

 connect_info
   Your connect_info args normalized to hashref form (with
   dsn/user/password.) See "connect_info" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI for
   more info on the hashref form of "connect_info".

 model_name
   The model name Catalyst uses to resolve this model, the part after
   "::Model::" or "::M::" in your class name. E.g. if your class name is
   "MyApp::Model::DB" the "model_name" will be "DB".

 _default_cursor_class
   What to reset your "cursor_class" in DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI to if a
   custom one doesn't work out. Defaults to
   DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Cursor.

ATTRIBUTES FROM MooseX::Traits::Pluggable
 _original_class_name
   The class name of your model before any "traits" are applied. E.g.
   "MyApp::Model::DB".

 _traits
   Unresolved arrayref of traits passed in the config.

 _resolved_traits
   Traits you used resolved to full class names.

METHODS
 new
   Instantiates the Model based on the above-documented ->config
   parameters. The only required parameter is "schema_class".
   "connect_info" is required in the case that "schema_class" does not
   already have connection information defined for it.

 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.

 composed_schema
   Accessor which returns the composed schema, which has no connection
   info, which was used in constructing the "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

 clone
   Shortcut for ->composed_schema->clone

 connect
   Shortcut for ->composed_schema->connect

 source
   Shortcut for ->schema->source

 class
   Shortcut for ->schema->class

 resultset
   Shortcut for ->schema->resultset

 storage
   Provides an accessor for the connected schema's storage object. Used
   often for debugging and controlling transactions.

 setup
   Called at "BUILD"> time before configuration, but after "connect_info"
   is set. To do something after configuuration use "after BUILD =>".

 ACCEPT_CONTEXT
   Point of extension for doing things at "$c->model" time with context,
   returns the model instance, see "ACCEPT_CONTEXT" in
   Catalyst::Manual::Intro for more information.
