NAME

       Dancer::Plugin::DBIC - DBIx::Class interface for Dancer applications

VERSION

       version 0.2104

SYNOPSIS

           use Dancer;
           use Dancer::Plugin::DBIC qw(schema resultset rset);

           get '/users/:user_id' => sub {
               my $user_id = param 'user_id';
               my $user;

               # all of the following are equivalent:
               $user = schema('default')->resultset('User')->find($user_id);
               $user = schema->resultset('User')->find($user_id);
               $user = resultset('User')->find($user_id);
               $user = rset('User')->find($user_id);

               template user_profile => {
                   user => $user
               };
           };

           dance;

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin makes it very easy to create Dancer applications that interface with
       databases.  It automatically exports the keyword "schema" which returns a
       DBIx::Class::Schema object.  You just need to configure your database connection
       information.  For performance, schema objects are cached in memory and are lazy loaded the
       first time they are accessed.

       This plugin is now just a thin wrapper around DBICx::Sugar.

CONFIGURATION

       Configuration can be done in your Dancer config file.

   simple example
       Here is a simple example. It defines one database named "default":

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=myapp.db
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema

   multiple schemas
       In this example, there are 2 databases configured named "default" and "foo":

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=myapp.db
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema
               foo:
                 dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=foo
                 schema_class: Foo::Schema
                 user: bob
                 password: secret
                 options:
                   RaiseError: 1
                   PrintError: 1

       Each database configured must at least have a dsn option.  The dsn option should be the
       DBI driver connection string.  All other options are optional.

       If you only have one schema configured, or one of them is named "default", you can call
       "schema" without an argument to get the only or "default" schema, respectively.

       If a schema_class option is not provided, then DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader will be used to
       dynamically load the schema by introspecting the database corresponding to the dsn value.
       You need DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed for this to work.

       WARNING: Dynamic loading is not recommended for production environments.  It is almost
       always better to provide a schema_class option.

       The schema_class option should be the name of your DBIx::Class::Schema class.  See "SCHEMA
       GENERATION" Optionally, a database configuration may have user, password, and options
       parameters as described in the documentation for "connect()" in DBI.

   connect_info
       Alternatively, you may also declare your connection information inside an array named
       "connect_info":

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema
                 connect_info:
                   - dbi:Pg:dbname=foo
                   - bob
                   - secret
                   -
                     RaiseError: 1
                     PrintError: 1

   replicated
       You can also add database read slaves to your configuration with the "replicated" config
       option.  This will automatically make your read queries go to a slave and your write
       queries go to the master.  Keep in mind that this will require additional dependencies:
       DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies#Storage::Replicated See
       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated for more details.  Here is an example configuration
       that adds two read slaves:

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema
                 dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=master
                 replicated:
                   balancer_type: ::Random     # optional
                   balancer_args:              # optional
                       auto_validate_every: 5  # optional
                       master_read_weight:1    # optional
                   # pool_type and pool_args are also allowed and are also optional
                   replicants:
                     -
                       - dbi:Pg:dbname=slave1
                       - user1
                       - password1
                       -
                         quote_names: 1
                         pg_enable_utf8: 1
                     -
                       - dbi:Pg:dbname=slave2
                       - user2
                       - password2
                       -
                         quote_names: 1
                         pg_enable_utf8: 1

   alias
       Schema aliases allow you to reference the same underlying database by multiple names.  For
       example:

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=master
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema
               slave1:
                 alias: default

       Now you can access the default schema with "schema()", "schema('default')", or
       "schema('slave1')".  This can come in handy if, for example, you have master/slave
       replication in your production environment but only a single database in your development
       environment.  You can continue to reference "schema('slave1')" in your code in both
       environments by simply creating a schema alias in your development.yml config file, as
       shown above.

FUNCTIONS

   schema
           my $user = schema->resultset('User')->find('bob');

       The "schema" keyword returns a DBIx::Class::Schema object ready for you to use.  If you
       have configured only one database, then you can simply call "schema" with no arguments.
       If you have configured multiple databases, you can still call "schema" with no arguments
       if there is a database named "default" in the configuration.  With no argument, the
       "default" schema is returned.  Otherwise, you must provide "schema()" with the name of the
       database:

           my $user = schema('foo')->resultset('User')->find('bob');

   resultset
       This is a convenience method that will save you some typing.  Use this only when accessing
       the "default" schema.

           my $user = resultset('User')->find('bob');

       is equivalent to:

           my $user = schema->resultset('User')->find('bob');

   rset
           my $user = rset('User')->find('bob');

       This is simply an alias for "resultset".

SCHEMA GENERATION

       Setting the schema_class option and having proper DBIx::Class classes is the recommended
       approach for performance and stability.  You can use the dbicdump command line tool
       provided by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader to help you.  For example, if your app were named
       Foo, then you could run the following from the root of your project directory:

           dbicdump -o dump_directory=./lib Foo::Schema dbi:SQLite:/path/to/foo.db

       For this example, your "schema_class" setting would be 'Foo::Schema'.
