NAME

Catalyst::Model::Handel::Order - Base class for Handel order classes

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Model::Order;
use strict;
use warnings;

BEGIN {
    use base qw/Catalyst::Model::Handel::Order/;
};

__PACKAGE__->config(
    connection_info => ['dbi:mysql:localhost', 'user', 'pass']
);

# in your cat constrollers
my $order = $c->model('Order')->search({
    id => $c->req->cookie('id');
});

DESCRIPTION

Catalyst::Model::Handel::Order is the base class for all Handel order related models in a Catalyst application. It takes care of loading the specified order class and configuring it based on any configuration options set in the model class or application config file.

CONFIGURATION

You can configure your model in one of two ways. First, you can set options within your model class itself:

package MyApp::Model::Cart;
use strict;
use warnings;

BEGIN {
    use base qw/Catalyst::Model::Handel::Cart/;
};

__PACKAGE__->config(
    connection_info => ['dbi:mysql:localhost', 'user', 'pass']
);

You can also specify configuration on your application config file:

Model::Order:
  connection_info:
    - dbi:mysql:localhost
    - user
    - pass

All connection options are passed into the current order classes storage object. See Handel::Storage and Handel::Storage::DBIC for the available configuration options.

If no order_class is specified, Handel::Order will be used by default.

METHODS

Once loaded, all method requests to this model are forwarded to the specified cart class.
