It has been rewritten to use L since it's internal code that deals with connection maintenance has already been ported into there. You now have two options for doing custom models with Catalyst. Either by using this model and any related modules as needed or by having your custom model decoupled from Catalyst and glued on using L Some general rules are as follows. If you do not wish to use L directly or DBI and setup connections in your custom models or have glue models, then use this model. If you however need models that can be re-used outside of your application or simply wish to maintain connection code yourself outside of the Catalyst, then use L which allows you to glue outside models into your Catalyst app. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item new Initializes DBI connection =cut sub new { my $self = shift->next::method( @_ ); my ( $c, $config ) = @_; $self->{dsn} ||= $config->{dsn}; $self->{username} ||= $config->{username} || $config->{user}; $self->{password} ||= $config->{password} || $config->{pass}; $self->{options} ||= $config->{options}; $self->{set_names_utf8} ||= $config->{set_names_utf8}; $self->{namespace} ||= ref $self; $self->{additional_base_classes} ||= (); $self->{log} = $c->log; $self->{debug} = $c->debug; $self->{loglevel} ||= LOG_LEVEL_BASIC; return $self; } =item $self->connection Returns the current DBIx::Connector connection handle. =cut sub connection { return shift->connect( 0 ) ; } =item $self->dbh Returns the current database handle. =cut sub dbh { return shift->connect( 1 ); } =item $self->connect Connects to the database and returns the handle. =cut sub connect { my ( $self, $want_dbh ) = @_; my $connection = $self->_connection; my $dbh = $self->_dbh; my $log = $self->{log}; my $debug = $self->{debug}; my $loglevel = $self->{loglevel}; unless ( $connection ) { eval { $connection = DBIx::Connector->new( $self->{dsn}, $self->{username} || $self->{user}, $self->{password} || $self->{pass}, $self->{options} ); $dbh = $connection->dbh; $self->{set_names_utf8} && $dbh->do("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); $self->_dbh( $dbh ); $self->_connection( $connection ); }; if ($@) { $log->debug( qq/Couldn't connect to the database via DBIx::Connector "$@"/ ) if $debug && $loglevel >= LOG_LEVEL_BASIC; } else { $log->debug( 'Connected to the database using DBIx::Connector via dsn:' . $self->{dsn} ) if $debug && $loglevel >= LOG_LEVEL_BASIC; } } my $handle = $want_dbh ? $dbh : $connection; return $handle; } =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =head1 AUTHOR Alex Pavlovic, C =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2005 - 2012 the Catalyst::Model::DBI L as listed above. =head1 LICENSE This program is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut 1;
