NAME
Mojo::DB::Connector - Create and cache DB connections using common connection info
STATUS
SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::DB::Connector;
# use default connection info or use connection info
# set in environment variables
my $connector = Mojo::DB::Connector->new;
my $connection = $connector->new_connection;
my $results = $connection->db->query(...);
# pass connection info in (some defaults still used)
my $connector = Mojo::DB::Connector->new(host => 'batman.com', userinfo => 'sri:s3cret');
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(database => 'my_s3cret_database');
my $results = $connection->db->query(...);
# cache connections using Mojo::DB::Connector::Role::Cache
my $connector = Mojo::DB::Connector->new->with_roles('+Cache');
# fresh connection the first time
my $connection = $connector->cached_connection(database => 'my_database');
# later somewhere else...
# same connection (Mojo::mysql or Mojo::Pg object) as before
my $connection = $connector->cached_connection(database => 'my_database');DESCRIPTION
Mojo::DB::Connector is a thin wrapper around Mojo::mysql and Mojo::Pg that is useful when you want to connect to different databases using slightly different connection info. It also allows you to easily connect using different settings in different environments by using environment variables to connect (see "ATTRIBUTES"). This can be useful when developing using something like Docker, which easily allows you to set different environment variables in dev/prod.
See Mojo::DB::Connector::Role::Cache for the ability to cache connections.
ATTRIBUTES
env_prefix
my $connector = Mojo::DB::Connector->new(env_prefix => 'MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_');
my $env_prefix = $connector->env_prefix;
$connector = $connector->env_prefix('MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_');The prefix that will be used for environment variables names when checking for default values. The prefix will go before:
"env_prefix" allows you to use different Mojo::DB::Connector objects to easily generate connections for different connection settings.
Default is MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_.
scheme
my $scheme = $connector->scheme;
$connector = $connector->scheme('postgresql');The "scheme" in Mojo::URL that will be used for generating the connection URL. Allowed values are mariadb, mysql, and postgresql. The scheme will determine whether a Mojo::mysql or Mojo::Pg instance is returned. mariadb and mysql indicate Mojo::mysql, and postgresql indicates Mojo::Pg.
This can also be derived from "scheme" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_SCHEME.
Default is first derived from "scheme" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_SCHEME}, and then falls back to postgresql.
userinfo
my $userinfo = $connector->userinfo;
$connector = $connector->userinfo('sri:s3cret');The "userinfo" in Mojo::URL that will be used for generating the connection URL.
This can also be derived from "userinfo" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_USERINFO.
Default is first derived from "userinfo" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_USERINFO}, and then falls back to no userinfo (empty string).
host
my $host = $connector->host;
$connector = $connector->host('localhost');The "host" in Mojo::URL that will be used for generating the connection URL.
This can also be derived from "host" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_HOST.
Default is first derived from "host" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_HOST}, and then falls back to localhost.
port
my $port = $connector->port;
$connector = $connector->port(5432);The "port" in Mojo::URL that will be used for generating the connection URL.
This can also be derived from "port" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_PORT.
Default is first derived from "port" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_PORT}, and then falls back to 5432.
database
my $database = $connector->database;
$connector = $connector->database('my_database');The database that will be used for generating the connection URL. This will be used as "path" in Mojo::URL.
This can also be derived from "path" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_DATABASE.
Default is first derived from "path" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_DATABASE}, and then falls back to no database (empty string).
options
my $options = $connector->options;
$connector = $connector->options([PrintError => 1, RaiseError => 0]);
# hashref also accepted
$connector = $connector->options({PrintError => 1, RaiseError => 0});The options that will be used as the parameters (Mojo::Parameters) for generating the connection URL. This will be used as "query" in Mojo::URL. This accepts any valid input for "query" in Mojo::URL except a list.
This can also be derived from "query" in Mojo::URL via "url" or set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_OPTIONS.
When set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_OPTIONS, "options" must be specified in valid URL parameter syntax:
$ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_OPTIONS} = 'PrintError=1&RaiseError=0';Default is first derived from "query" in Mojo::URL via $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL}, then $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_OPTIONS}, and then falls back to [] (no options).
url
my $url = $connector->url;
$connector = $connector->url('postgres://sri:s3cret@localhost/db3?PrintError=1&RaiseError=0');The connection URL from which all other attributes can be derived (except "strict_mode"). "url" must be specified before the first call to "new_connection" is made, otherwise it will have no effect on setting the defaults.
This can also be set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL.
Default is $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_URL} and then falls back to undef (no URL).
strict_mode
my $strict_mode = $connector->strict_mode;
$connector = $connector->strict_mode(1);"strict_mode" determines if connections should be created in "strict_mode" in Mojo::mysql.
Note that this only applies to Mojo::mysql and does not apply to Mojo::Pg. If a Mojo::Pg connection is created, this will have no effect.
This can also be set with the environment variable MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_STRICT_MODE.
Default is $ENV{MOJO_DB_CONNECTOR_STRICT_MODE} and falls back to 1
METHODS
new_connection
# use environment variables or defaults
my $connection = $connector->new_connection;
my $results = $connection->db->query(...);
# provide attribute overrides just for this call
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(database => 'my_database', host => 'batman.com');
my $results = $connection->db->query(...);"new_connection" creates a new connection (Mojo::mysql or Mojo::Pg instance) using either the connection info in "ATTRIBUTES", or any override values passed.
Any override values that are passed will completely replace any values in "ATTRIBUTES":
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(database => 'my_database', host => 'batman.com');
my $results = $connection->db->query(...);Except for "options". "options" follows the same format as "query" in Mojo::URL:
# merge with existing options in attribute options by using a hashref
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(options => {merge => 'to'});
# append to existing options in attribute options by using an arrayref
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(options => [append => 'with']);
# replace existing options completely by passing replace_options => 1
# must provide an arrayref for replace_options
my $connection = $connector->new_connection(options => [append => 'with'], replace_options => 1);replace_options is needed because you cannot pass a list for the options value. If replace_options is provided, the options parameter must be an arrayref.
See "options" in Mojo::mysql or "options" in Mojo::Pg.
