I originally created the 'Logic' namespace because I was using
load_classes and by default my Schema directory had all my ORM
result_source files.
However I am just in the process of changing to using
load_namespaces so I now have
MyCompany::MyApp::Schema::Result (where I have moved all my
result_sources to)
MyCompany::MyApp::Schema::ResultSet
I travelled the same path: I started with split Logic and Schema
classes and move them all together with load_namespaces. It works
fine, and thats the approach I recommend around here.
leaving MyCompany::MyApp::Schema empty of classes.
So I presume I can consider the MyCompany::MyApp::Schema namespace
to be for my business logic that does not directly map onto a ORM?
(I can't think of a good example off-hand.)
I would defer that decision until you get a good example :)
One final point that I am not sure I have right.
In my business logic I have certain constraints (for example the
maximum length of a web-form field, e.g. username) and most of the
time this constraint is defined by the database (the field length
of the user.username). Now the template needs access to these
values to display the appropriate error message so typically I do
the following in my controller.
You have attributes in the add_columns() to store all that. And if
you do store them all in there, you can use
DBIx::Class::Schema::deploy as a added bonus.
See:
* deploy: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/lib/DBIx/Class/
Schema.pm#deploy
* add_columns: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/lib/DBIx/
Class/ResultSource.pm#add_columns
