NAME

Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain - A Plain base class for Class::DBI models

SYNOPSIS

    # set up your CDBI classes within Catalyst: base class
    package Music::Model::DBI;
    use base 'Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain';
    __PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:mysql:music', 'user', 'pw');
    # One class, inherits from base, sets up relationships
    package Music::Model::Artist;
    use base 'Music::Model::DBI';
    __PACKAGE__->table('artist');
    __PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw/artistid name/);
    __PACKAGE__->has_many(cds => 'Music::Model::CD');
    # etc.
    # OR
    # use existing CDBI classes within Catalyst:
    package MyApp::Model::Artist; # a Catalyst class
    use base qw[Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain Some::Other::Artist];
    1; # That's it--Some::Other::Artist is in Catalyst as MyApp::Model::Artist
    # OR
    package MyApp::Model::Library;
    use base qw[MyApp::Model::DBI Class::DBI::mysql]; # add MySQL-specific methods
    __PACKAGE__->set_up_table('library'); # from CDBI::mysql

DESCRIPTION

"Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Plain" is a Model class for Catalyst to be used with user-specified Class::DBI classes. It does not automatically set anything up or create relationships; this is left to the user. This module can be used with existing "Class::DBI" classes, so that they can be used with Catalyst, or as a way of writing CDBI-based Model classes within Catalyst.
