NAME
Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain - A Plain base class for Class::DBI models
SYNOPSIS
# set up your CDBI classes within Catalyst: base class
package Music::Model::DBI;
use base 'Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain';
__PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:mysql:music', 'user', 'pw');
# One class, inherits from base, sets up relationships
package Music::Model::Artist;
use base 'Music::Model::DBI';
__PACKAGE__->table('artist');
__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw/artistid name/);
__PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'Music::Model::CD');
# etc.
# OR
# use existing CDBI classes within Catalyst:
package MyApp::Model::Artist; # a Catalyst class
use base qw[Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain Some::Other::Artist];
1; # That's it--Some::Other::Artist is in Catalyst as MyApp::Model::Artist
# OR
package MyApp::Model::Library;
use base qw[MyApp::Model::DBI Class::DBI::mysql]; # add MySQL-specific methods
__PACKAGE__->set_up_table('library'); # from CDBI::mysqlDESCRIPTION
Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain is a Model class for Catalyst to be used with user-specified Class::DBI classes. It does not automatically set anything up or create relationships; this is left to the user. This module can be used with existing Class::DBI classes, so that they can be used with Catalyst, or as a way of writing CDBI-based Model classes within Catalyst.
METHODS
- new
-
Overrides the constructor to create a Catalyst::Base object, rather than a CDBI object.
