Hi,
I'm trying to use CDBI::Sweet within Catalyst and as there's no helper
for CDBI::Sweet I don't exactly know where and how to put things together.
1. I have a simple working Catalyst app and a simple working CDBI::Sweet app
using the same database.
I have :
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI.pm
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI/
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI/...(my tables).pm
Should I need ? :
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI/Sweet.pm
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI/Sweet/
MyApp/lib/MyApp/M/CDBI/Sweet/...(my tables).pm
With Sweet.pm :
package MyApp::M::CDBI::Sweet;
use strict;
use base 'Catalyst::Model::CDBI::Sweet';
__PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:mysql:MyDB:localhost','user,'pass');
and for each table
package MyApp::M::CDBI::Sweet::MyTable ;
__PACKAGE__->table('MyTable');
__PACKAGE__->columns(Essential => qw/Id Col1 Col2/);
2. I want to set up things for each table within a YAML file that way :
--- #YAML:1.0
list:
items_per_page: 16
current_page: 4
order_by: Col1
columns: Col1 Col2 Col4
template: list.tt
mappings:
Col1: text_to_display.
Col2: Text....
Col3: Text.....
....
edit:
template: edit.tt
mappings:
Col1: other_text_to_display.
Col2: Text....
Col3: Text.....
....
>From a best practice point of view where is the best place to put the loading
and vars init code for each table :
- inside MyApp::M::CDBI::Sweet::MyTable ?
- inside MyApp::C::MyTable ? But where ? Within begin or auto ?
- inside MyApp::V::TT ? But how ?
- somewhere else ?
3. And last is it "good practice" to use such a YAML file to set up
table views ?
Thanks in advance.
