    my $store = Catmandu::Store::DBI->new(
            data_source => 'DBI:mysql:database=test',
            bags => { journals => {
                            fixes => [ ... ] ,
                            autocommit => 1 ,
                            plugins => [ ... ] ,
                            id_generator => Catmandu::IdGenerator::UUID->new ,
                      }
                    },
            bag_class => Catmandu::Bag->with_plugins('Datestamps')
            );

    # Use the default bag...
    my $bag = $store->bag;

    # Or a named bag...
    my $bag = $store->bag('journals');

    # Every bag is an iterator...
    $bag->each(sub { ... });
    $bag->take(10)->each(sub { ... });

    $bag->add($hash);
    $bag->add_many($iterator);
    $bag->add_many([ $hash, $hash , ...]);

    # Commit changes...
    $bag->commit;

    my $obj = $bag->get($id);
    $bag->delete($id);

    $bag->delete_all;

OPTIONS

fixes

An array of fixes to apply before importing or exporting data from the bag.

plugins

An array of Catmandu::Pluggable to apply to the bag items.

autocommit

add_many($iterator)

Add or update one or more items to the bag.

get($id)

Retrieves the item with identifier $id from the bag.

get_or_add($id, $hash)

Retrieves the item with identifier $id from the store or adds $hash with _id $id if it's not found.

CLASS METHODS

with_plugins($plugin)

with_plugins(\@plugins)

Plugins are a kind of fixes that should be available for each bag. E.g. the Datestamps plugin will automatically store into each bag item the fields 'date_updated' and 'date_created'. The with_plugins accept one or an array of plugin classnames and returns a subclass of the Bag with the plugin methods implemented.
