DESCRIPTION

This Yancy backend allows you to connect to a MySQL database to manage the data inside. This backend uses Mojo::mysql to connect to MySQL.

See Yancy::Backend for the methods this backend has and their return values.

Backend URL

The URL for this backend takes the form mysql://<user>:<pass>@<host>:<port>/<db>.

Some examples:

    # Just a DB
    mysql:///mydb

    # User+DB (server on localhost:3306)
    mysql://user@/mydb

    # User+Pass Host and DB
    mysql://user:pass@example.com/mydb

Collections

The collections for this backend are the names of the tables in the database.

So, if you have the following schema:

    CREATE TABLE people (
        id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
        name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
        email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
    );
    CREATE TABLE business (
        id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
        name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
        email VARCHAR(255) NULL
    );

You could map that schema to the following collections:

    {
        backend => 'mysql://user@/mydb',
        collections => {
            People => {
                required => [ 'name', 'email' ],
                properties => {
                    id => {
                        type => 'integer',
                        readOnly => 1,
                    },
                    name => { type => 'string' },
                    email => { type => 'string' },
                },
            },
            Business => {
                required => [ 'name' ],
                properties => {
                    id => {
                        type => 'integer',
                        readOnly => 1,
                    },
                    name => { type => 'string' },
                    email => { type => 'string' },
                },
            },
        },
    }
