NAME

Catalyst::Model::Enzyme::CRUD - CRUD Model Component

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

CRUD Model Component.

MODEL CONFIGURATION

This is how to configure your model classes' meta data.

__PACKAGE__->config( crud => {} )

Some things are configured

moniker

Human readable name for this model.

E.g. "Shop Location".

Default: MyApp::Model::CDBI::ShopLocation becomes "Shop Location".

column_monikers

Column monikers. Hash ref with (key: column name: value: moniker).

Default: based on the column name. Override specific column names like this:

column_monikers => { __PACKAGE__->default_column_monikers, url => "URL" },

data_form_validator

Validation rules for the data fields.

Default: no validation

Note that you need to provide the entire config hashref for Data::FormValidator.

rows_per_page

Number of rows per page when using a pager (which will happen unless paging is disabled by setting this value is 0).

Default: 20

Class::DBI configuration

Stringified column

Let's say your Model class Book has a Foreign Key (FK) genre_id to the Genre Model class.

In the list of Books, the Genre will just be displayed with this identifier, whereas you really would like it to display the Genre name.

In the Genre model class, define the column group Stringify, like this:

__PACKAGE__->columns(Stringify => qw/ name /);

This magic is performed by Class::DBI and Class::DBI::AsForm's to_field method.

Fields to display

__PACKAGE__->columns(crud_view_columns => qw/ COLUMNS /);

Default: all columns.

Fields to display in lists

__PACKAGE__->columns(crud_list_columns => qw/ COLUMNS /);

Default: all columns.

Example

use Data::FormValidator::Constraints qw(:regexp_common);

__PACKAGE__->columns(Stringify => qw/ url /);

__PACKAGE__->config(

    crud => {
        moniker => "URL",
        rows_per_page => 20,
        data_form_validator => {
            optional => [ __PACKAGE__->columns ],
            required => [ "url" ],
            constraint_methods => {
                url => FV_URI(),
            },
            msgs => {
                format => '%s',
                constraints => {
                    FV_URI => "Not a URL",
                },
            },
        },
    },
);

CLASS METHODS

default_column_monikers()

Return hash ref with the default column monikers (display names) for all columns.

You can use this to setup a Model's crud config like this:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    crud => {
        column_monikers => { __PACKAGE__->default_column_monikers, url_id => "URL" };
    },
);

default_column_moniker($column)

Return default name for $column.

Remove _id$ and ^id_.

Exemple: author_name_id --> Author Name
