Rose::DBx::Garden::Catalyst - plant Roses in your Catalyst garden

SYNOPSIS

Top

    # create a Catalyst app
    > catalyst.pl MyApp

    # create a Rose::DBx::Garden::Catalyst script
    > cat mk_cat_garden.pl
    use Rose::DBx::Garden::Catalyst;
    use MyDB;  # isa Rose::DB

    my $garden = Rose::DBx::Garden::Catalyst->new(
                    catalyst_prefix => 'MyApp',
                    garden_prefix   => 'MyRDBO',
                    db              => MyDB->new,
                    tt              => 1,  # make Template Toolkit files
                    );

    $garden->plant('MyApp/lib');

    # run your script
    > perl mk_cat_garden.pl

    # update your MyApp.pm file:

     __PACKAGE__->setup();
     Class::C3::initialize();   # add this line

    # start your Catalyst dev server
    > cd MyApp
    > perl script/myapp_server.pl

    # enjoy the fruits at http://localhost:3000/rdgc

DESCRIPTION

Top

Rose::DBx::Garden::Catalyst extends Rose::DBx::Garden to create Catalyst component scaffolding. These created components use the RDBO and RHTMLO classes that the Garden class produces. The base Controller, Model and View classes are simple subclasses of CatalystX::CRUD::YUI.

This module works on the assumption that 1 table == 1 form == 1 controller class == 1 model class.

By default this class creates stub Template Toolkit files for use with the RDBO and RHTMLO CRUD components. If you use a different templating system, just set the tt option to 0.

METHODS

Top

Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

init_controller_prefix

The namespace where Catalyst Controllers are created. Will also be lowercased and serve as the URI path namespace for all RDGC actions.

Default: RDGC

init_base_code

Override the base method to create methods useful to RDBO classes used in Catalyst.

init_base_form_class_code

Custom base Form code to implement features that template will require.

init_catalyst_prefix

Defaults to 'MyApp'.

base_tt_path

Returns controller_prefix() transformed to a file path.

plant( path/to/my/catapp )

Override the base method to create Catalyst-related files in addition to the basic Garden files.

make_catalyst( class_names, path )

Does the actual file creation of Catalyst files. Called by plant().

class_names should be a hash ref of RDBO => RHTMLO class names, as returned by Rose::DBx::Garden->plant(). If you have existing RDBO and RHTMLO classes that have namespaces inconsistent with the conventions in Rose::DBx::Garden, they should still work. Just map the RDBO => RHTMLO classes in your class_names hash ref.

TODO

Top

client-side JS validation

Should be straightforward since the Garden nows puts column-type as xhtml class value.

RDGC tests

Need a way to reliably test the JS.

BUGS

Top

Known issues:

re-running the script fails to pick up all classes

This is due to issues with @INC and how the RDBO Loader requires classes. There is no known workaround at the moment.

javascript required

The TT templates generated depend heavily on the YUI toolkit http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/. Graceful degredation is not implemented as yet.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-rose-dbx-garden-catalyst at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Rose-DBx-Garden-Catalyst. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
