Hello!
In Tutorial (BTW, "CRUD" section of tutorial lacks U completely), I've
seen this way of filling in the record:
my $book = $c->model('GalleryDB::Gallery')->new({});
$book->populate_from_widget($result);
which sets a bunch of data and then calls $book->insert_or_update;
In InstantCRUD data is filled in with
my $item = $result->save_to_db();
I have no idea how this works.
It seems to obtain $result with
my $result = $w->action( $c->uri_for('do_add') )->process( $c->request );
And $result is a HTML::Widget::Result::DBIC instance, so save_to_db is
"HTML::Widget::DBIC::Result method to save the data from widget to
the database"
Neither of these are standard DBIx::Class methods; the standard approach
is to do
my $obj = $rs->new(\%data);
<maybe use $obj->column_name($value) to set more data>
$obj->insert;
DBIx::Class::ResultSet provides a $rs->create(\%data) shortcut that calls
$obj->insert for you before returning it, but that really is just a
shortcut - the end effect is identical.
For more info, have a look at the DBIx::Class documentation on CPAN and
note that DBIC-specific questions can be asked on the dedicated dbix-class
list.
Thanks a lot. I'll go read it. There is such a lot of useful Perl modues...
Alex.
