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

VERSION

       version 0.1802

SYNOPSIS

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

           get '/users/:user_id' => sub {
               my $user = schema('default')->resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');

               # If you are accessing the 'default' schema, then all the following
               # are equivalent to the above:
               $user = schema->resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');
               $user = resultset('User')->find(param 'user_id');
               $user = rset('User')->find(param '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.

CONFIGURATION

       Configuration can be done in your Dancer config file.  This is a minimal example. It
       defines one database named "default":

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db

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

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db
                 schema_class: MyApp::Schema
               foo:
                 dsn: dbi:mysql:foo
                 schema_class: Foo::Schema
                 user: bob
                 pass: 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.
       Remember that you need DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed to take advantage of that.

       The schema_class option, should be a proper Perl package name that Dancer::Plugin::DBIC
       will use as a DBIx::Class::Schema class.  Optionally, a database configuation may have
       user, pass, and options parameters as described in the documentation for "connect()" in
       DBI.

       You may also declare your connection information in the following format (which may look
       more familiar to DBIC users):

           plugins:
             DBIC:
               default:
                 connect_info:
                   - dbi:mysql:foo
                   - bob
                   - secret
                   -
                     RaiseError: 1
                     PrintError: 1

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

       There are two approaches for generating schema classes.  You may generate your own
       DBIx::Class classes and set the corresponding "schema_class" setting in your configuration
       as shown above.  This is the recommended approach for performance and stability.

       It is also possible to have schema classes dynamically generated if you omit the
       "schema_class" configuration setting.  This requires you to have
       DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader installed.  The "v7" naming scheme will be used for naming the
       auto generated classes.  See "naming" in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base for more
       information about naming.

       For generating your own schema classes, 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 that example, your "schema_class" setting would be "Foo::Schema".
