NAME

Catalyst::Enzyme::CRUD::Model - CRUD Model Component

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

CRUD Model Component.

This is how to configure your model classes' meta data.

ENZYME MODEL CONFIGURATION:

Some things are Enzyme related configurations. These go in the:

    __PACKAGE__->config( crud => {} )

hash ref.

moniker

Human readable name for this model.

E.g. "Shop Location".

Default: MyApp::Model::CDBI::ShopLocation becomes "Shop Location".

column_monikers

Column monikers. Hash ref with (key: column name: value: moniker).

Default: based on the column name (id_% and %id removed, the capitalized).

Override specific column names like this:

    column_monikers => { __PACKAGE__->default_column_monikers, url => "URL" },

data_form_validator

Validation rules for the data fields.

Default: no validation, all columns are optional.

Note that you need to provide the entire config hashref that Data::FormValidator expects.

rows_per_page

Number of rows per page when using a pager (which will happen unless paging is disabled by setting this value is 0).

Default: 20

Class::DBI configuration

Stringified column

Let's say your Model class Book has a Foreign Key (FK) genre_id to the Genre Model class.

In the list of Books, the Genre will just be displayed with this identifier, whereas you really would like it to display the Genre name.

In the Genre model class, define the column group Stringify, like this:

  __PACKAGE__->columns(Stringify => qw/ name /);

This magic is performed by Class::DBI and Class::DBI::AsForm's to_field method.

Fields to display

  __PACKAGE__->columns(crud_view_columns => qw/ COLUMNS /);

Default: all columns.

(not yet implemented)

Fields to display in lists

  __PACKAGE__->columns(crud_list_columns => qw/ COLUMNS /);

Default: all columns.

(not yet implemented)

EXAMPLE

    use Data::FormValidator::Constraints qw(:regexp_common);

    __PACKAGE__->columns(Stringify => qw/ url /);

    __PACKAGE__->config(

        crud => {
            moniker => "URL",
            rows_per_page => 20,
            data_form_validator => {
                optional => [ __PACKAGE__->columns ],
                required => [ "url" ],
                constraint_methods => {
                    url => FV_URI(),
                },
                msgs => {
                    format => '%s',
                    constraints => {
                        FV_URI => "Not a URL",
                    },
                },
            },
        },
    );

CLASS METHODS

default_column_monikers()

Return hash ref with the default column monikers (display names) for all columns.

You can use this to setup a Model's crud config like this:

    __PACKAGE__->config(
        crud => {
            column_monikers => { __PACKAGE__->default_column_monikers, url_id => "URL" };
        },
    );

default_column_moniker($column)

Return default name for $column.

Remove _id$ and ^id_.

Exemple: author_name_id --> Author Name
