=head1 NAME
DBIx::Class::Schema - composable schemas
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package My::Schema;
use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema/;
# load My::Schema::Foo, My::Schema::Bar, My::Schema::Baz
__PACKAGE__->load_classes(qw/Foo Bar Baz/);
package My::Schema::Foo;
use base qw/DBIx::Class/;
__PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/PK::Auto::Pg Core/); # for example
__PACKAGE__->table('foo');
my $schema1 = My::Schema->connect(
$dsn,
$user,
$password,
$attrs
);
my $schema2 = My::Schema->connect( ... );
# fetch objects using My::Schema::Foo
my $resultset = $schema1->resultset('Foo')->search( ... );
my @objects = $schema2->resultset('Foo')->search( ... );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Creates database classes based on a schema. This is the recommended way to
use L<DBIx::Class> and allows you to use more than one concurrent connection
with your classes.
NB: If you're used to L<Class::DBI> it's worth reading the L</SYNOPSIS>
carefully as DBIx::Class does things a little differently. Note in
particular which module inherits off which.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 register_class <moniker> <component_class>
Registers a class which isa ResultSourceProxy; equivalent to calling
$schema->register_source($moniker, $class->result_source_instance);
=cut
sub register_class {
my ($self, $moniker, $to_register) = @_;
$self->register_source($moniker => $to_register->result_source_instance);
}
=head2 register_source <moniker> <result source>
Registers the result source in the schema with the given moniker
=cut

my ($self, $moniker, $source) = @_;
my %reg = %{$self->source_registrations};
$reg{$moniker} = $source;
$self->source_registrations(\%reg);
$source->schema($self);
if ($source->result_class) {
my %map = %{$self->class_mappings};
$map{$source->result_class} = $moniker;
$self->class_mappings(\%map);
}
}
=head2 class
my $class = $schema->class('Foo');
Retrieves the result class name for a given result source
=cut
sub class {
my ($self, $moniker) = @_;
return $self->source($moniker)->result_class;
}
=head2 source
my $source = $schema->source('Foo');
Returns the result source object for the registered name
=cut
sub source {
my ($self, $moniker) = @_;
my $sreg = $self->source_registrations;
return $sreg->{$moniker} if exists $sreg->{$moniker};
# if we got here, they probably passed a full class name
my $mapped = $self->class_mappings->{$moniker};
$self->throw_exception("Can't find source for ${moniker}")
unless $mapped && exists $sreg->{$mapped};
return $sreg->{$mapped};
}
=head2 sources
my @source_monikers = $schema->sources;
Returns the source monikers of all source registrations on this schema
=cut
sub sources { return keys %{shift->source_registrations}; }
=head2 resultset
my $rs = $schema->resultset('Foo');
Returns the resultset for the registered moniker
=cut
sub resultset {
my ($self, $moniker) = @_;
return $self->source($moniker)->resultset;
}
=head2 load_classes [<classes>, (<class>, <class>), {<namespace> => [<classes>]}]
Uses L<Module::Find> to find all classes under the database class' namespace,
or uses the classes you select. Then it loads the component (using L<use>),
and registers them (using B<register_class>);
It is possible to comment out classes with a leading '#', but note that perl
will think it's a mistake (trying to use a comment in a qw list) so you'll
need to add "no warnings 'qw';" before your load_classes call.

=head2 compose_connection <target> <@db_info>
This is the most important method in this class. it takes a target namespace,
as well as dbh connection info, and creates a L<DBIx::Class::DB> class as
well as subclasses for each of your database classes in this namespace, using
this connection.
It will also setup a ->class method on the target class, which lets you
resolve database classes based on the schema component name, for example
MyApp::DB->class('Foo') # returns MyApp::DB::Foo,
# which ISA MyApp::Schema::Foo
This is the recommended API for accessing Schema generated classes, and
using it might give you instant advantages with future versions of DBIC.
WARNING: Loading components into Schema classes after compose_connection
may not cause them to be seen by the classes in your target namespace due
to the dispatch table approach used by Class::C3. If you do this you may find
you need to call Class::C3->reinitialize() afterwards to get the behaviour
you expect.

=item populate($moniker, \@data);
Populates the source registered with the given moniker with the supplied data.
@data should be a list of listrefs, the first containing column names, the
second matching values - i.e.
$schema->populate('Foo', [
[ qw/foo_id foo_string/ ],
[ 1, 'One' ],
[ 2, 'Two' ],
