NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Nour::Database - Adds an easy to use database handle to your mojo app.

VERSION

version 0.09

USAGE

Somewhere in your startup routine, include something like this:

    $self->plugin( 'Mojolicious::Plugin::Nour::Database' );

Then from your controllers, you can do things like this:

    sub list {
        my $self = shift;
        my $list = $self->db->query( qq|
            select l.language_code id
                 , l.unicode name_unicode
                 , l.english name_english
                 , l.direction
              from content.resource r
              join i18n.language l using ( language_code )
             group by l.language_code, l.unicode, l.english, l.direction
             order by l.language_code
        | )->hashes;
        $self->render( json => $list );
    }

Or:

    sub list {
        my $self = shift;
        my $list = $self->db( 'audio' )->query( qq|
            select r.reciter_id id
                 , concat( 'http://audio.quran.com:9999/', r.path, '/ogg/' ) base_url
                 , r.arabic name_arabic
                 , r.english name_english
              from audio.reciter r
             order by r.english
        | )->hashes;
        $self->render( json => $list );
    }

This module uses Nour::Database which is a wrapper for DBIx::Simple to provide an app helper that let's you easily query your databases and get the resultsets you want without having to deal with bloated, retarded ORMs. SQL is good for you. It also uses Nour::Config to read your db configuration. See the configuration section for details on how to set that up.

CONFIGURATION

First, cursorily scan "USAGE" in Mojolicious::Plugin::Nour::Config because it's relevant in that you should put your configuration under a directory structure that might look like this, for example:

     $ find ./config/
    ./config/
    ./config/application
    ./config/application/nested
    ./config/application/nested/example.yml
    ./config/application.yml
    ./config/database
    ./config/database/private
    ./config/database/private/production.yml
    ./config/database/private/README.md
    ./config/database/config.yml

The only real file you need is ./config/database/config.yml. Overriding configuration in the "private" sub-directory e.g. ./config/database/private/ is just a neat feature which let's you override the entire config or just a single nested key/value that was imported from the "public" configuration i.e. ./config/database/config.yml. Why is this useful? You can `echo '*private*' >> .gitignore` and ensure that your passwords or sensitive tokens or what not don't get exposed in your public git repository.

CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

Here's a couple examples of what ./config/database/config.yml might look like:

Postgresql

    development:
        dsn: dbi:Pg:dbname=foo;host=bar
        username: foobar
