NAME

Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema - Helper for DBIC Schema Models

SYNOPSIS

script/create.pl model ModelName DBIC::Schema My::SchemaClass [ create=dynamic | create=static ] [ connect_info arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

Helper for the DBIC Schema Models.

Arguments:

ModelName is the short name for the Model class being generated

My::SchemaClass is the fully qualified classname of your Schema,
  which might or might not yet exist.

create=dynamic instructs this Helper to generate the named Schema
  class for you, basing it on L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> (which
  means the table information will always be dynamically loaded at
  runtime from the database).

create=static instructs this Helper to generate the named Schema
  class for you, using L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> in "one shot"
  mode to create a standard, manually-defined L<DBIx::Class::Schema>
  setup, based on what the Loader sees in your database at this moment.
  A Schema/Model pair generated this way will not require
  L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader> at runtime, and will not automatically
  adapt itself to changes in your database structure.  You can edit
  the generated classes by hand to refine them.

connect_info arguments are the same as what DBIx::Class::Schema::connect
  expects, and are storage_type-specific.  For DBI-based storage, these
  arguments are the dsn, username, password, and connect options,
  respectively.  These are optional for existing Schemas, but required
  if you use either of the C<create=> options.

Use of either of the create= options requires DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader.

TYPICAL EXAMPLES

# Use DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader to create a static DBIx::Class::Schema,
#  and a Model which references it:
script/myapp_create.pl model ModelName DBIC::Schema My::SchemaClass create=static dbi:mysql:foodb myuname mypass

# Create a dynamic DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader-based Schema,
#  and a Model which references it:
script/myapp_create.pl model ModelName DBIC::Schema My::SchemaClass create=dynamic dbi:mysql:foodb myuname mypass

# Reference an existing Schema of any kind, and provide some connection information for ->config:
script/myapp_create.pl model ModelName DBIC::Schema My::SchemaClass dbi:mysql:foodb myuname mypass

# Same, but don't supply connect information yet (you'll need to do this
#  in your app config, or [not recommended] in the schema itself).
script/myapp_create.pl model ModelName DBIC::Schema My::SchemaClass

METHODS
