So in your Controller classes, something like this is recommended: sub model_class { return("BookShelf::Model::BookShelfDB::Genre"); } =cut sub model_class { return(""); } =head1 METHODS - ACTIONS These are the default CRUD actions. You should read the source so you know what the actions do, and how you can adjust or block them in your own code. They also deal with form validation, messages, and errors in a certain way that you could use (or not, you may have a better way) in your own Controller actions. =head2 auto : Private Set up the default model and class for this Controller =cut sub auto : Private { my ($self, $c) = @_; $c->forward("set_crud_controller"); } =head2 set_crud_controller : Private Set the current Controller and it's Model class (and the Model's configuration using the model_class() ). Point $self->crud_config to the Model's config->{crud}. Set crud_config keys: model_class model moniker (default) rows_per_page (default 20) column_monikers (default) Set stash keys: crud (to the crud_config) controller_namespace (to the Controller's namespace) uri_for_list (to a version that accepts array refs from TT) Return 1. =over 4 =item Usage This action is automatically called by the C action. This means that if the user invokes an action in a Controller, the set_crud_controller is called properly and that Controller's Model class is used. No need to do anything. If you forward between actions in the same Controller, the same Model class should be used, so no need to do anything. But if you forward to an action in a different Controller, you need to tell Enzyme to start using the new Model class first. So, going from e.g. the Book Controller to a Genre action, you need to: $c->forward("/genre/set_crud_controller"); $c->forward("/genre/add"); =back =cut sub set_crud_controller : Private { my ($self, $c) = @_; my $model_class_name = $self->model_class; #todo: move this to the model base class? my $crud_config = $self->crud_config; $crud_config->{model_class} = $model_class_name; $crud_config->{moniker} ||= $self->class_to_moniker($model_class_name); defined($crud_config->{rows_per_page}) or $crud_config->{rows_per_page} = 20; #default $crud_config->{column_monikers} ||= { $model_class_name->default_column_monikers() }; my $crud_model = $c->comp($model_class_name); ref($crud_model) or die("Object for model class ($model_class_name) not found\n"); $crud_config->{model} = $crud_model; $c->stash->{crud} = $crud_config; $c->stash->{controller_namespace} = "/" . $self->action_namespace($c); $c->stash->{uri_for_list} = sub { $c->uri_for(map { ref $_ eq 'ARRAY' ? @$_ : $_ } @_); }; return(1); } =head2 default Forward to list. =cut sub default : Private { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $c->forward('list'); } =head2 list Display list template =cut sub list : Local { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; my $model = $self->model_with_pager($c, $self->crud_config->{rows_per_page}, $c->req->param("page")); $c->stash->{items} = [ $model->retrieve_all() ]; $c->stash->{template} = 'list.tt'; } =head2 view Select a row and display view template. =cut sub view : Local { my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_; $c->stash->{item} = $self->model_class->retrieve($id); $c->stash->{template} = 'view.tt'; } =head2 add Display add template =cut sub add : Local { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $c->stash->{template} = 'add.tt'; } =head2 do_add Add a new row and redirect to list. =cut sub do_add : Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; $c->form( %{ $self->crud_config->{data_form_validator} || $self->default_dfv($c)}); $c->form->success or return( $c->forward('add') ); my $item; $self->run_safe($c, sub { $item = $self->model_class->create_from_form( $c->form ) }, "add", "Could not create record", ) or return; $c->stash->{message} = "Record created OK"; return( $c->res->redirect($c->uri_for('view', $item->id)) ); } =head2 edit Display edit template. =cut sub edit : Local { my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_; $c->stash->{item} = $self->model_class->retrieve($id); $c->stash->{template} = 'edit.tt'; } =head2 do_edit Edit a row and redirect to edit. =cut sub do_edit : Local { my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_; $c->form( %{ $self->crud_config->{data_form_validator} || $self->default_dfv($c)}); $c->form->success or return( $c->forward('edit') ); $self->run_safe($c, sub { $self->model_class->retrieve($id)->update_from_form( $c->form ) }, "edit", "Could not update record", ) or return; $c->stash->{message} = "Record updated OK"; return( $c->res->redirect($c->uri_for('view', $id)) ); } =head2 delete Display delete template. =cut sub delete : Local { my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_; $c->stash->{item} = $self->model_class->retrieve($id); $c->stash->{template} = 'delete.tt'; } =head2 do_delete Destroy row and forward to list. =cut sub do_delete : Local { my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_; $self->run_safe($c, sub { $self->model_class->retrieve($id)->delete }, "list", "Could not delete record", ) or return; $c->stash->{message} = "Record deleted OK"; return( $c->res->redirect($c->uri_for('list')) ); } =head1 METHODS =head2 default_dfv Return hash ref with a default L config. =cut sub default_dfv { my ($self, $c) = @_; return({ optional => [ $self->model_class->columns ], msgs => { format => '%s' }, missing_optional_valid => 1, }); } =head2 crud_config() Return hash ref with config values form the Model class' config->{crud} (so model_class needs to be set). =cut sub crud_config { my ($self) = @_; my $model_class = $self->model_class or confess("No model_class defined in (" . ref($self) .
