NAME

CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig::ModelPlugin - plugin to create Models from configuration

VERSION

version 1.006

SYNOPSIS

In your application:

package My::App;
use Catalyst qw(
    ConfigLoader
    +CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig::ModelPlugin
);

In your config:

<Model::MyClass>
 class My::Class
 <args>
   some  param
 </args>
 <traits>
   +My::Special::Role
 </traits>
</Model::MyClass>

Now, $c->model('MyClass') will contain an object built just like:

my $obj = My::Class->new({some=>'param'});
apply_all_roles($obj,'My::Special::Role');

DESCRIPTION

This plugin, built on CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig::Role::PluginRole, allows you to create model components at application setup time, just by specifying them in the configuration.

GLOBAL CONFIGURATION

<models_from_config>
 base_class My::ModelAdaptor
</models_from_config>

The default base_class is CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig::ModelAdaptor, but you can specify whatever adaptor you want. Of course, you have to make sure that the model-specific configuration block is in the format that your adaptor expects.

A useful example is when you want to use Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema:

<Model::DB>
 base_class Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema
 schema_class My::Schema
 <connect_info>
  dsn dbi:SQLite:dbname=/tmp/whatever.db
 </connect_info>
</Model::DB>

Note that, since we're not using CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig::ModelAdaptor, the way you pass the various parameters is different than what is shown at the top.
