DESCRIPTION

This is the DBIx::Class model class for Catalyst. Whilst it allows you to use DBIC as your model in Catalyst, it does not make your tables classes Catalyst-specific, so you can still use them in a non-Catalyst context.

new

Catalystifies DBIx::Class and makes the model model class a component.

SEE ALSO

Catalyst, DBIx::Class

TODO

Write real tests.
