NAME

       DBIx::Class::KiokuDB - Refer to KiokuDB objects from DBIx::Class tables.

SYNOPSIS

       See DBIx::Class::Schema::KiokuDB.

	   package MyApp::DB::Result::Album;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class);

	   __PACKAGE__>load_components(qw(Core KiokuDB));

	   __PACKAGE__->table('album');

	   __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
	       id => { data_type => "integer" },
	       title => { data_type => "varchar" },

	       # the foreign key for the KiokuDB object:
	       metadata => { data_type => "varchar" },
	   );

	   __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

	   # enable a KiokuDB rel on the column:
	   __PACKAGE__->kiokudb_column('metadata');

DESCRIPTION

       This DBIx::Class component provides the code necessary for DBIx::Class::Row objects to refer to KiokuDB objects stored in
       KiokuDB::Backend::DBI.

CLASS METHODS

       kiokudb_column $rel
	   Declares a relationship to any KiokuDB object.

	   In future versions adding relationships to different sub-collections will be possible as well.

METHODS

       store
	   A convenience method that calls "store" in KiokuDB on all referenced KiokuDB objects, and then invokes "insert_or_update" on $self.

       get_kiokudb_column $col
       set_kiokudb_column $col, $obj
       store_kiokudb_column $col, $obj
	   See DBIx::Class::Row.

OVERRIDDEN METHODS

       new Recognizes objects passed in as column values, much like standard relationships do.

       insert
	   Also calls "insert" in KiokuDB on all referenced objects that are not in the KiokuDB storage.

       update
	   Adds a check to ensure that all referenced KiokuDB objects are in storage.

NAME

       DBIx::Class::Schema::KiokuDB - Hybrid KiokuDB/DBIx::Class::Schema schema support.

SYNOPSIS

       Load this component into the schema:

	   package MyApp::DB;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Schema);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(Schema::KiokuDB));

	   __PAKCAGE__->load_namespaces;

       Then load the DBIx::Class::KiokuDB component into every table that wants to refer to arbitrary KiokuDB objects:

	   package MyApp::DB::Result::Album;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Core);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(KiokuDB));

	   __PACKAGE__->table('album');

	   __PACKAGE__->add_columns(
	       id => { data_type => "integer" },
	       title => { data_type => "varchar" },

	       # the foreign key for the KiokuDB object:
	       metadata => { data_type => "varchar" },
	   );

	   __PACKAGE__->set_primary_key('id');

	   # enable a KiokuDB rel on the column:
	   __PACKAGE__->kiokudb_column('metadata');

       Connect to the DSN:

	   my $dir = KiokuDB->connect(
	       'dbi:SQLite:dbname=:memory:',
	       schema => "MyApp::DB",
	       create => 1,
	   );

	   # get the connect DBIC schema instance
	   my $schema = $dir->backend->schema;

       Then you can freely refer to KiokuDB objects from your "Album" class:

	   $dir->txn_do(scope => 1, body => sub {

	       $schema->resultset("Album")->create({
		   title => "Blah blah",
		   metadata => $any_object,
	       });
	   });

DESCRIPTION

       This class provides the schema definition support code required for integrating an arbitrary DBIx::Class::Schema with
       KiokuDB::Backend::DBI.

   REUSING AN EXISTING DBIx::Class SCHEMA
       The example in the Synopis assumes that you want to first set up a KiokuDB and than link that to some DBIx::Class classes. Another use case
       is that you already have a configured DBIx::Class Schema and want to tack KiokuDB onto it.

       The trick here is to make sure to load the KiokuDB schema using "__PACKAGE__->define_kiokudb_schema()" in your Schema class:

	   package MyApp::DB;
	   use base qw(DBIx::Class::Schema);

	   __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw(Schema::KiokuDB));
	   __PACKAGE__->define_kiokudb_schema();

	   __PAKCAGE__->load_namespaces;

       You can now get the KiokuDB directory handle like so:

	   my $dir = $schema->kiokudb_handle;

       For a complete example take a look at t/autovivify_handle.t.

USAGE AND LIMITATIONS

       KiokuDB managed objects may hold references to row objects, resultsets (treated as saved searches, or results or cursor state is saved),
       result source handles, and the schema.

       Foreign DBIx::Class objects, that is ones that originated from a schema that isn't the underlying schema are currently not supported, but
       this limitation may be lifted in the future.

       All DBIC operations which may implicitly cause a lookup of a KIokuDB managed object require live object scope management, just as normal.

       It is reccomended to use "txn_do" in KiokuDB because that will invoke the appropriate transaction hooks on both layers, as opposed to just
       in DBIx::Class.
