Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Shortcut - shortcuts support for DBIC models

Version 0.01

    #
    # application class
    #
    package TestApp;

    use Moose;
    use namespace::autoclean;
    use Catalyst qw/ ......... /;
    extends 'Catalyst';
    with 'Catalyst::TraitFor::Model::DBIC::Shortcut';




    #
    # controller class
    #
    package TestApp::Controller::Test;

    .........
        # these two calss are the same
        my $s = $c->model('DB')->schema;
        my $s = $c->db_schema;
    .........
        # these two calss are the same
        my $rs = $c->model('DB::Actor');
        my $rs = $c->db_actor_rs;
    .........

If you got tired of writting $c->model('DB::Actor') each time, or if you use auto-completion intensively, you could look at this trait. Just use this role in your application class, and you'll have shortcuts auto-created for all DBIx::Class-based models:

- schema

for all schema classes, based on Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema, you'll get method with name "lowercase class name" + "_schema", with all "::" converted to underscore ("_"):

    $c->model('DB')->schema         ==>     $c->db_schema
    $c->model('DBIC')->schema       ==>     $c->dbic_schema
    $c->model('DBIC::DB1')->schema  ==>     $c->dbic_db1_schema

- resultset

for all resultset classes, based on DBIx::Class, you'll get method with name "lowercase class name" + "_rs", with all "::" converted to underscore ("_"):

    $c->model('DB::Actor')          ==>     $c->db_actor_rs
    $c->model('DB::Track')          ==>     $c->db_track_rs
    $c->model('DBIC::DB1::Actor')   ==>     $c->dbic_db1_actor_rs
