NAME

FabForce::DBDesigner4::DBIC - create DBIC scheme for DBDesigner4 xml file

VERSION

Version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

use FabForce::DBDesigner4::DBIC;

my $foo = FabForce::DBDesigner4::DBIC->new();
$foo->output_path( $some_path );
$foo->namespace( 'MyApp::DB' );
$foo->create_schema( $xml_document );

METHODS

new

creates a new object of FabForce::DBDesigner4::DBIC. You can pass some parameters to new (all parameters are optional)

my $foo = FabForce::DBDesigner4::DBIC->new(
  output_path => '/path/to/dir',
  input_file  => '/path/to/dbdesigner.file',
  namespace   => 'MyApp::Database',
  schema_name => 'MySchema',
);

output_path

sets / gets the output path for the scheme

$foo->output_path( '/any/directory' );
print $foo->output_path;

input_file

sets / gets the name of the DBDesigner file (XML format)

$foo->input_file( 'dbdesigner.xml' );
print $foo->input_file;

create_schema

creates all the files that are needed to work with DBIx::Class schema:

The main module that loads all classes and one class per table. If you haven't specified an input file, the module will croak.

You can specify the input file either with input_file or as an parameter for create_schema

$foo->input_file( 'dbdesigner.xml' );
$foo->create_schema;

# or

$foo->create_schema( 'dbdesigner.xml' );

create_scheme

create_scheme is an alias for create_schema for compatibility reasons

schema_name

sets a new name for the schema. By default on of these names is used:

DBIC_Scheme Database DBIC MyScheme MyDatabase DBIxClass_Scheme

$dbic->schema_name( 'MyNewSchema' );

namespace

sets / gets the name of the namespace. If you set the namespace to 'Test' and you have a table named 'MyTable', the main module is named 'Test::DBIC_Scheme' and the class for 'MyTable' is named 'Test::DBIC_Scheme::MyTable'

$foo->namespace( 'MyApp::DB' );

prefix

In relationships the accessor for the objects of the "other" table shouldn't have the name of the column. Otherwise it is very clumsy to get the orginial value of this table.

$foo->prefix( 'belongs_to' => 'fk_' );
$foo->prefix( 'has_many' => 'has_' );

creates (col1 is the column name of the foreign key)

__PACKAGE__->belongs_to( 'fk_col1' => 'OtherTable', {'foreign.col1' => 'self.col1' } );

dbdesigner

returns the FabForce::DBDesigner4 object.
