NAME

App::Kit::Obj::Db - database utility object

VERSION

This document describes App::Kit::Obj::DB version 0.1

SYNOPSIS

    my $db = App::Kit::Obj::DB->new(…);
    $db->dbh()->…

DESCRIPTION

database utility object

INTERFACE

new()

Returns the object.

Takes one required attribute: _app. It should be an App::Kit object for it to use internally.

Takes one optional and discouraged attribute: _dbh. Should be a DBI::db object.

dbh()

Returns the main database handle for our app. Reconnecting if necessary.

Lazy loads DBI the first time it is called.

The connection you want is defined via a hashref with the following keys:

'dbd_driver' (required)

e.g. SQLite, mysql

'database' (required)
'host' (defaults to 'localhost')
'dsn_attr'

hashref of additional DSN keys and values (built sorted by key)

    { port => 1234 }
'user' (defaults to '')
'pass' (defaults to '')
'connect_attr'

hashref that corresponds to the 4th argument to DBI->connect;

The connections hashref can be given in two ways:

1. As the only argument to dbh
    $db->dbh({…})
2. In you app’s config/db.conf
    $db->dbh()

More info on this will be in the next version.

conn()

Shortcut to DBI->connect(…) or die ….

Takes the same arguments as DBI->connect.

For mysql based objects it additionally does some setup to ensure we’re speaking utf-8 and that datetime operations are normalized to UTC.

Lazy loads DBI the first time it is called.

disconn()

When given no arguments it disconnects and undefines the main database handle (i.e. the one via dbh()).

When given a database handle (e.g. one from conn()) it disconnects that.

Returns 2 if it is already disconnected.

DIAGNOSTICS

Throws no warnings or errors of its own.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

DBI

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
