It automatically exports the keyword C which returns a L object. You just need to configure your database connection information. For performance, schema objects are cached in memory and are lazy loaded the first time they are accessed. =head1 CONFIGURATION Configuration can be done in your L config file. This is a minimal example. It defines one database named C: plugins: DBIC: default: dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db In this example, there are 2 databases configured named C and C: plugins: DBIC: default: dsn: dbi:SQLite:dbname=some.db schema_class: My::Schema foo: dsn: dbi:mysql:foo schema_class: Foo::Schema user: bob pass: secret options: RaiseError: 1 PrintError: 1 Each database configured must have a dsn option. The dsn option should be the L driver connection string. All other options are optional. If you only have one schema configured, or one of them is named C, you can call C without an argument to get the only or C schema, respectively. If a schema_class option is not provided, then L will be used to dynamically load the schema based on the dsn value. This is for convenience only and should not be used in production. See L below for caveats. The schema_class option, should be a proper Perl package name that Dancer::Plugin::DBIC will use as a L class. Optionally, a database configuation may have user, pass, and options parameters as described in the documentation for C in L. You may also declare your connection information in the following format (which may look more familiar to DBIC users): plugins: DBIC: default: connect_info: - dbi:mysql:foo - bob - secret - RaiseError: 1 PrintError: 1 =head1 USAGE This plugin provides just the keyword C which returns a L object ready for you to use. If you have configured only one database, then you can call C with no arguments: my $user = schema->resultset('User')->find('bob'); If you have configured multiple databases, you can still call C with no arguments if there is a database named C in the configuration. Otherwise, you B provide C with the name of the database: my $user = schema('foo')->resultset('User')->find('bob'); =head1 SCHEMA GENERATION There are two approaches for generating schema classes. You may generate your own L classes by hand and set the corresponding C setting in your configuration as shown above. This is the recommended approach for performance and stability. It is also possible to have schema classes automatically generated via introspection (powered by L) if you omit the C configuration setting. However, this is highly discouraged for production environments. The C naming scheme will be used for naming the auto generated classes. See L for more information about naming. For generating your own schema classes, you can use the L command line tool provided by L to help you. For example, if your app were named Foo, then you could run the following from the root of your project directory: dbicdump -o dump_directory=./lib Foo::Schema dbi:SQLite:/path/to/foo.db For that example, your C setting would be C. =head1 AUTHORS =over 4 =item * Al Newkirk =item * Naveed Massjouni =item * Alexis Sukrieh =item * Franck Cuny =item * David Precious =back =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2010 by awncorp.
