DESCRIPTION

This Yancy backend allows you to connect to a SQLite database to manage the data inside. This backend uses Mojo::SQLite to connect to SQLite.

See Yancy::Backend for the methods this backend has and their return values.

Backend URL

The URL for this backend takes the form sqlite:<filename.db>.

Some examples:

# A database file in the current directory
sqlite:filename.db
# In a specific location
sqlite:/tmp/filename.db

Schema Names

The schema names for this backend are the names of the tables in the database.

So, if you have the following schema:

CREATE TABLE people (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE business (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR NULL
);

You could map that to the following schema:

{
backend => 'sqlite:filename.db',
schema => {
People => {
required => [ 'name', 'email' ],
properties => {
id => {
type => 'integer',
readOnly => 1,
},
name => { type => 'string' },
email => { type => 'string' },
},
},
Business => {
required => [ 'name' ],
properties => {
id => {
type => 'integer',
readOnly => 1,
},
name => { type => 'string' },
email => { type => 'string' },
},
},
},
}
