NAME

       SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class - Create a SQL::Translator schema from a
       DBIx::Class::Schema instance

SYNOPSIS

        ## Via DBIx::Class
        use MyApp::Schema;
        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect("dbi:SQLite:something.db");
        $schema->create_ddl_dir();
        ## or
        $schema->deploy();

        ## Standalone
        use MyApp::Schema;
        use SQL::Translator;

        my $schema = MyApp::Schema->connect;
        my $trans  = SQL::Translator->new (
             parser      => 'SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class',
             parser_args => {
                 dbic_schema => $schema,
                 add_fk_index => 0,
                 sources => [qw/
                   Artist
                   CD
                 /],
             },
             producer    => 'SQLite',
            ) or die SQL::Translator->error;
        my $out = $trans->translate() or die $trans->error;

DESCRIPTION

       This class requires SQL::Translator installed to work.

       "SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class" reads a DBIx::Class schema, interrogates the
       columns, and stuffs it all in an $sqlt_schema object.

       Its primary use is in deploying database layouts described as a set of DBIx::Class
       classes, to a database. To do this, see "deploy" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

       This can also be achieved by having DBIx::Class export the schema as a set of SQL files
       ready for import into your database, or passed to other machines that need to have your
       application installed but don't have SQL::Translator installed. To do this see
       "create_ddl_dir" in DBIx::Class::Schema.

PARSER OPTIONS

   dbic_schema
       The DBIx::Class schema (either an instance or a class name) to be parsed.  This argument
       is in fact optional - instead one can supply it later at translation time as an argument
       to "translate" in SQL::Translator. In other words both of the following invocations are
       valid and will produce conceptually identical output:

         my $yaml = SQL::Translator->new(
           parser => 'SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class',
           parser_args => {
             dbic_schema => $schema,
           },
           producer => 'SQL::Translator::Producer::YAML',
         )->translate;

         my $yaml = SQL::Translator->new(
           parser => 'SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class',
           producer => 'SQL::Translator::Producer::YAML',
         )->translate(data => $schema);

   add_fk_index
       Create an index for each foreign key.  Enabled by default, as having indexed foreign key
       columns is normally the sensible thing to do.

   sources
       Arguments: \@class_names

       Limit the amount of parsed sources by supplying an explicit list of source names.
