NAME Perinci::Sub::Gen::AccessTable::DBI - Generate function (and its Rinci metadata) to access DBI table data VERSION version 0.07 SYNOPSIS Your database table "countries": | id | eng_name | ind_name | |----+--------------------------+-----------------| | cn | China | Cina | | id | Indonesia | Indonesia | | sg | Singapore | Singapura | | us | United States of America | Amerika Serikat | In list_countries.pl: #!perl use strict; use warnings; use Perinci::CmdLine; use Perinci::Sub::Gen::AccessTable::DBI qw(gen_read_dbi_table_func); our %SPEC; my $res = gen_read_dbi_table_func( name => 'list_countries', summary => 'func summary', # opt description => 'func description', # opt dbh => ..., table_name => 'countries', table_spec => { summary => 'List of countries', fields => { id => { schema => 'str*', summary => 'ISO 2-letter code for the country', index => 0, sortable => 1, }, eng_name => { schema => 'str*', summary => 'English name', index => 1, sortable => 1, }, ind_name => { schema => 'str*', summary => 'Indonesian name', index => 2, sortable => 1, }, }, pk => 'id', }, ); die "Can't generate function: $res->[0] - $res->[1]" unless $res->[0] == 200; Perinci::CmdLine->new(url=>'/main/list_countries')->run; Now you can do: # list all countries, by default only PK field is shown $ list_countries.pl --format=text-simple cn id sg us # show as json, randomize order $ list_countries.pl --format=json --random ["id","us","sg","cn"] # only list countries which contain 'Sin', show all fields (--detail) $ list_countries.pl --q=Sin --detail .----------------------------. | eng_name | id | ind_name | +-----------+----+-----------+ | Singapore | sg | Singapura | '-----------+----+-----------+ # show only certain fields, limit number of records, return in YAML format $ list_countries.pl --fields '[id, eng_name]' --result-limit 2 --format=yaml - 200 - OK - - id: cn eng_name: China - id: id eng_name: Indonesia DESCRIPTION This module is just like Perinci::Sub::Gen::AccessTable, except that table data source is from DBI. gen_read_dbi_table_func() accept mostly the same arguments as gen_read_table_func(), except: 'table_name' instead of 'table_data', and 'dbh'. Supported databases: SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Early versions tested on: SQLite. CAVEATS It is often not a good idea to expose your database schema directly as API.

FUNCTIONS None are exported by default, but they are exportable. gen_read_dbi_table_func() -> [status, msg, result, meta] No arguments. Return value: Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error).
