NAME

My::DBI::DatasourceConfigure -- Embed the parameters for a DBI handle in object configuration

SYNOPSIS

my $spops = {
  myobject => {
    class      => 'My::Object',
    rules_from => [ 'My::DBI::DatasourceConfigure' ],
    dbi_config => { dsn => 'DBI:mysql:test',
                    username => 'kool',
                    password => 'andthegang' },
    ...
  },
};
SPOPS::Initialize->process({ config => $spops });
my $object = My::Object->fetch( 'celebrate' );

DESCRIPTION

This rule allows you to embed the DBI connection information in your object rather than using the strategies described elsewhere. This is very handy for creating simple, one-off scripts, but you should still use the subclassing strategy from SPOPS::Manual::Cookbook if you will have multiple objects using the same datasource.

METHODS

behavior_factory( $class )

Generates a behavior to generate the datasource retrieval code during the 'manipulate_configuration' phase.

datasource_access( $class )

Generates the 'global_datasource_handle()' method that retrieves an opened database handle if it exists or creates one otherwise.

BUGS

None known.

TO DO

Nothing known.
