Could anyone help me get my head around how I implement a common base
class for, and subclasses of, autogenerated DBIx::Class classes?
Going with a simple example:
Foo::User Foo::Project <<< My sub classes
| |
| |
Foo::user Foo::project <<< sqlt generated DBIx::Class classes
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
Foo::Base <<< Common functionality
1) Foo::Base would hold common functionality for sub classes.
2) A::B::user and A::B::project would probably be defined within Foo.pm as
autogenerated by sqlt:
sqlt --from DBI --to DBIx::Class::File --prefix Foo --dsn DBI:mysql:foo >
Foo.pm
3) Foo::User, Foo::Project would be the concrete subclasses, both adding new
methods, and overriding methods in Foo::user, Foo::project.
So in the main code:
use Foo;
my $schema = Foo->connect('DBI:mysql:myapp');
my $rs = $schema->resultset('User'); # Should get me the resultset for
Foo::User
$rs->create ....
$rs->search ....
Normally I'd have no problems setting this up, but DBIx::Class seem a little
more complex in the way it handles inheritance and registers classes
and I'm not sure of the correct way to do this - I've tried a few things and I
end up with instances of Foo::user rather than Foo::User (same with project)
so something's clearly wrong.
I'd be really grateful if someone can tell me if this is possible (or what I
should be doing instead) and could post an outline of how I would
achieve this correctly using DBIx::Class. I'm happy to turn this thread
(if I get some replies) into a FAQ for the docs if that's of any use.
Many thanks,
Rich
