NAME

DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base - Base DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader Implementation.

SYNOPSIS

See DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader

DESCRIPTION

This is the base class for the storage-specific "DBIx::Class::Schema::*" classes, and implements the common functionality between them.

CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

These constructor options are the base options for ``loader_options'' in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader. Available constructor options are:

skip_relationships

Skip setting up relationships. The default is to attempt the loading of relationships.

skip_load_external

Skip loading of other classes in @INC. The default is to merge all other classes with the same name found in @INC into the schema file we are creating.

naming

Static schemas (ones dumped to disk) will, by default, use the new-style 0.05XXX relationship names and singularized Results, unless you're overwriting an existing dump made by a 0.04XXX version of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, in which case the backward compatible RelBuilder will be activated, and singularization will be turned off.

Specifying

     naming => 'v5'
 
 

will disable the backward-compatible RelBuilder and use the new-style relationship names along with singularized Results, even when overwriting a dump made with an earlier version.

The option also takes a hashref:

     naming => { relationships => 'v5', monikers => 'v4' }
 
 

The keys are:

relationships
How to name relationship accessors.
monikers
How to name Result classes.

The values can be:

current
Latest default style, whatever that happens to be.
v5
Version 0.05XXX style.
v4
Version 0.04XXX style.

Dynamic schemas will always default to the 0.04XXX relationship names and won't singularize Results for backward compatibility, to activate the new RelBuilder and singularization put this in your "Schema.pm" file:

     __PACKAGE__->naming('current');
 
 

Or if you prefer to use 0.05XXX features but insure that nothing breaks in the next major version upgrade:

     __PACKAGE__->naming('v5');
 
 

generate_pod

By default POD will be generated for columns and relationships, using database metadata for the text if available and supported.

Reading database metadata (e.g. "COMMENT ON TABLE some_table ...") is only supported for Postgres right now.

Set this to 0 to turn off all POD generation.

pod_comment_mode

Controls where table comments appear in the generated POD. Smaller table comments are appended to the "NAME" section of the documentation, and larger ones are inserted into "DESCRIPTION" instead. You can force a "DESCRIPTION" section to be generated with the comment always, only use "NAME", or choose the length threshold at which the comment is forced into the description.
name
Use "NAME" section only.
description
Force "DESCRIPTION" always.
auto
Use "DESCRIPTION" if length > ``pod_comment_spillover_length'', this is the default.

pod_comment_spillover_length

When pod_comment_mode is set to "auto", this is the length of the comment at which it will be forced into a separate description section.

The default is 60

relationship_attrs

Hashref of attributes to pass to each generated relationship, listed by type. Also supports relationship type 'all', containing options to pass to all generated relationships. Attributes set for more specific relationship types override those set in 'all'.

For example:

   relationship_attrs => {
     all      => { cascade_delete => 0 },
     has_many => { cascade_delete => 1 },
   },
 
 

will set the "cascade_delete" option to 0 for all generated relationships, except for "has_many", which will have cascade_delete as 1.

NOTE: this option is not supported if v4 backward-compatible naming is set either globally (naming => 'v4') or just for relationships.

debug

If set to true, each constructive DBIx::Class statement the loader decides to execute will be "warn"-ed before execution.

db_schema

Set the name of the schema to load (schema in the sense that your database vendor means it). Does not currently support loading more than one schema name.

constraint

Only load tables matching regex. Best specified as a qr// regex.

exclude

Exclude tables matching regex. Best specified as a qr// regex.

moniker_map

Overrides the default table name to moniker translation. Can be either a hashref of table keys and moniker values, or a coderef for a translator function taking a single scalar table name argument and returning a scalar moniker. If the hash entry does not exist, or the function returns a false value, the code falls back to default behavior for that table name.

The default behavior is to singularize the table name, and: "join '', map ucfirst, split /[\W_]+/, lc $table", which is to say: lowercase everything, split up the table name into chunks anywhere a non-alpha-numeric character occurs, change the case of first letter of each chunk to upper case, and put the chunks back together. Examples:

     Table Name  | Moniker Name
     ---------------------------
     luser       | Luser
     luser_group | LuserGroup
     luser-opts  | LuserOpt
 
 

inflect_plural

Just like ``moniker_map'' above (can be hash/code-ref, falls back to default if hash key does not exist or coderef returns false), but acts as a map for pluralizing relationship names. The default behavior is to utilize ``to_PL'' in Lingua::EN::Inflect::Number.

inflect_singular

As ``inflect_plural'' above, but for singularizing relationship names. Default behavior is to utilize ``to_S'' in Lingua::EN::Inflect::Number.

schema_base_class

Base class for your schema classes. Defaults to 'DBIx::Class::Schema'.

result_base_class

Base class for your table classes (aka result classes). Defaults to 'DBIx::Class::Core'.

additional_base_classes

List of additional base classes all of your table classes will use.

left_base_classes

List of additional base classes all of your table classes will use that need to be leftmost.

additional_classes

List of additional classes which all of your table classes will use.

components

List of additional components to be loaded into all of your table classes. A good example would be "ResultSetManager".

resultset_components

List of additional ResultSet components to be loaded into your table classes. A good example would be "AlwaysRS". Component "ResultSetManager" will be automatically added to the above "components" list if this option is set.

use_namespaces

This is now the default, to go back to ``load_classes'' in DBIx::Class::Schema pass a 0.

Generate result class names suitable for ``load_namespaces'' in DBIx::Class::Schema and call that instead of ``load_classes'' in DBIx::Class::Schema. When using this option you can also specify any of the options for "load_namespaces" (i.e. "result_namespace", "resultset_namespace", "default_resultset_class"), and they will be added to the call (and the generated result class names adjusted appropriately).

dump_directory

This option is designed to be a tool to help you transition from this loader to a manually-defined schema when you decide it's time to do so.

The value of this option is a perl libdir pathname. Within that directory this module will create a baseline manual DBIx::Class::Schema module set, based on what it creates at runtime in memory.

The created schema class will have the same classname as the one on which you are setting this option (and the ResultSource classes will be based on this name as well).

Normally you wouldn't hard-code this setting in your schema class, as it is meant for one-time manual usage.

See ``dump_to_dir'' in DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader for examples of the recommended way to access this functionality.

dump_overwrite

Deprecated. See ``really_erase_my_files'' below, which does *not* mean the same thing as the old "dump_overwrite" setting from previous releases.

really_erase_my_files

Default false. If true, Loader will unconditionally delete any existing files before creating the new ones from scratch when dumping a schema to disk.

The default behavior is instead to only replace the top portion of the file, up to and including the final stanza which contains "# DO NOT MODIFY THIS OR ANYTHING ABOVE!" leaving any customizations you placed after that as they were.

When "really_erase_my_files" is not set, if the output file already exists, but the aforementioned final stanza is not found, or the checksum contained there does not match the generated contents, Loader will croak and not touch the file.

You should really be using version control on your schema classes (and all of the rest of your code for that matter). Don't blame me if a bug in this code wipes something out when it shouldn't have, you've been warned.

overwrite_modifications

Default false. If false, when updating existing files, Loader will refuse to modify any Loader-generated code that has been modified since its last run (as determined by the checksum Loader put in its comment lines).

If true, Loader will discard any manual modifications that have been made to Loader-generated code.

Again, you should be using version control on your schema classes. Be careful with this option.

custom_column_info

Hook for adding extra attributes to the column_info for a column.

Must be a coderef that returns a hashref with the extra attributes.

Receives the table name, column name and column_info.

For example:

   custom_column_info => sub {
       my ($table_name, $column_name, $column_info) = @_;
 
       if ($column_name eq 'dog' && $column_info->{default_value} eq 'snoopy') {
           return { is_snoopy => 1 };
       }
   },
 
 

This attribute can also be used to set "inflate_datetime" on a non-datetime column so it also receives the ``datetime_timezone'' and/or ``datetime_locale''.

datetime_timezone

Sets the timezone attribute for DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime for all columns with the DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP data_types.

datetime_locale

Sets the locale attribute for DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime for all columns with the DATE/DATETIME/TIMESTAMP data_types.

METHODS

None of these methods are intended for direct invocation by regular users of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader. Some are proxied via DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader.

new

Constructor for DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader::Base, used internally by DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader.

load

Does the actual schema-construction work.

rescan

Arguments: schema

Rescan the database for newly added tables. Does not process drops or changes. Returns a list of the newly added table monikers.

The schema argument should be the schema class or object to be affected. It should probably be derived from the original schema_class used during ``load''.

tables

Returns a sorted list of loaded tables, using the original database table names.

monikers

Returns a hashref of loaded table to moniker mappings. There will be two entries for each table, the original name and the ``normalized'' name, in the case that the two are different (such as databases that like uppercase table names, or preserve your original mixed-case definitions, or what-have-you).

classes

Returns a hashref of table to class mappings. In some cases it will contain multiple entries per table for the original and normalized table names, as above in ``monikers''.
