DESCRIPTION

This Yancy backend allows you to connect to a Postgres database to manage the data inside. This backend uses Mojo::Pg to connect to Postgres.

See Yancy::Backend for the methods this backend has and their return values.

Backend URL

The URL for this backend takes the form pg://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>/<db>.

Some examples:

# Just a DB
pg:///mydb

# User+DB (server on localhost:5432)
pg://user@/mydb

# User+Pass Host and DB
pg://user:pass@example.com/mydb

Schema Names

The schema names for this backend are the names of the tables in the database.

So, if you have the following schema:

CREATE TABLE people (
    id SERIAL,
    name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE business (
    id SERIAL,
    name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR NULL
);

You could map that to the following schema:

{
    backend => 'pg://user@/mydb',
    schema => {
        People => {
            required => [ 'name', 'email' ],
            properties => {
                id => {
                    type => 'integer',
                    readOnly => 1,
                },
                name => { type => 'string' },
                email => { type => 'string' },
            },
        },
        Business => {
            required => [ 'name' ],
            properties => {
                id => {
                    type => 'integer',
                    readOnly => 1,
                },
                name => { type => 'string' },
                email => { type => 'string' },
            },
        },
    },
}

Ignored Tables

By default, this backend will ignore some tables when using read_schema: Tables used by Mojo::Pg::Migrations, DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned (in case we're co-habitating with a DBIx::Class schema), and all the tables used by the Minion::Backend::Pg Minion backend.
