Fey::ORM(3)

NAME
Fey::ORM - A Fey-based ORM (If you like SQL, you might like Fey::ORM)

VERSION
version 0.47

SYNOPSIS
A "table-based" class for the User table:

  package MyApp::Model::User;

  use MyApp::Model::Schema;

  use Fey::ORM::Table;

  my $schema = MyApp::Model::Schema->Schema();

  has_table $schema->table('User');

  has_one $schema->table('Group');

  has_many 'messages' => ( table => $schema->table('Messages') );

"MyApp::Model::Schema" might look like this:

  package MyApp::Model::Schema;

  use Fey::DBIManager::Source;
  use Fey::Loader;

  use Fey::ORM::Schema;

  my $source = Fey::DBIManager::Source->new(
      dsn  => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=MyApp',
      user => 'myapp',
  );

  my $schema = Fey::Loader->new( dbh => $source->dbh() )->make_schema();

  has_schema $schema;

__PACKAGE__->DBIManager()->add_source($source);

Then in your application:

  use MyApp::Model::User;

  my $user = MyApp::Model::User->new( user_id => 1 );

  print $user->username();

  $user->update( username => 'bob' );

DESCRIPTION
Fey::ORM builds on top of other Fey project libraries to create an ORM focused on easy SQL generation. This is an ORM for people who are comfortable with SQL and want to be able to use it with their objects, rather than people who like OO and don't want to think about the DBMS.

Fey::ORM also draws inspiration from "Moose" and tries to provide as much functionality as it can via a simple declarative interface. Of course, it uses "Moose" under the hood for its implementation.

EARLY VERSION WARNING
This is still very new software, and APIs may change in future releases without notice. You have been warned.

Moreover, this software is still missing a number of features which will be needed to make it more easily usable and competitive with other ORM packages.

GETTING STARTED
You should start by reading Fey::ORM::Manual::Intro. This will walk you through creating a set of classes based on a schema. Then look at Fey::ORM::Manual for a list of additional documentation.

BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-fey-orm@rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
