Hi everyone. I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to automatically pass an object, for the matter the Catalyst::Request object, to DBIx::Class methods. I cannot and will not pass it myself every time I call a method in my schema. While I do believe the model and the app should be completely separated, further information must flow between the two.
For example, I need to setup an administrative usage log for my app. Whenever a user with proper privileges invokes a schema method that creates, edits or deletes information from the database, I want that action to be automatically recorded in the usage log, with details such as the user ID and the user IP. I'm facing two difficulties: on one hand I believe this should be automatically done by the schema (so recording into the usage log will not be made from the app, but from the schema), but that means I need to pass the context object (or the Request object) to every schema method I invoke; on the other hand, if I let the app handle recording into the usage log, my schema loses power. What if I want to write an API to my program in several programming languages, should they do the same too? So for a while now I've been trying to find a way to automatically pass objects to the schema. Maybe if DBIx::Class was Moose-based I would have already found one using method modifiers. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks, Ido Perlmuter.
