I've been fooling around with this idea for the last couple of days and I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the list.
Basically, what I've got working right now is a subclass of Loader, which creates all the RDBO .pm files (obviously), as well as RHTMLO 'stubs' that contain all the columns in in the RDBO files. The types are all wrong (just using $class->type at the moment). It's only marginally useful at the moment, but with a simple RDBO type to RHTMLO type hash, it'll require a whole lot more useful. http://kabob.ca/perl/FormMaker.pm usage like: my $loader = Rose::DB::Object::Loader::FormMaker->new( db_dsn => 'dbi:mysql:dbname=acp;host=localhost', db_username => 'user', db_password => 'password', db_options => { AutoCommit => 1, ChopBlanks => 1 }, class_prefix => 'Something::DB::', form_prefix => 'Something::Form::', ); $loader->make_modules(module_dir => 'Dump'); As you can probably see, i've added 'form_prefix', which is the prefix that'll be used for the Form Classes, should you wish to have it differ from the RDBO classes (and you'd better, since right now it's stupid and will just overwrite your RDBO files with the RHTMLO ones) Anyway, comments and criticism would be appreciated.
