NAME Fey::ORM::Mock - Mock Fey::ORM based classes so you can test without a DBMS SYNOPSIS use Fey::ORM::Mock; use MyApp::Schema; my $mock = Fey::ORM::Mock->new( schema_class => 'MyApp::Schema' ); $mock->seed_class( 'MyApp::User' => { user_id => 42, name => 'Doug', }, ... ); # gets seeded data first my $user = User->new( ... ); $user = User->insert( ... ); $user->update( ... ); my @actions = $mock->recorder()->actions_for_class('User'); DESCRIPTION This class lets you mock a set of "Fey::ORM" based classes. You can seed data for each class's constructor, as well as track all inserts, update, and deletes for each class. This is all done at a higher level than is possible just using "DBD::Mock". Instead of dealing with SQL and DBI's data structures, you are able to work with the named attributes of each class. METHODS This class provides the following methods: Fey::ORM::Mock->new( schema_class => $class ) Given a schema class (one which uses "Fey::ORM::Schema"), this method adds a mocking layer to the schema class and all of its tables' associated classes. If a table does not have an associated class, it will simply be skipped. It also replaces the schema class's existing "Fey::DBIManager" object with one that has a single "DBD::Mock" handle. $mock->schema_class() The schema class name that was passed to the constructor. $mock->recorder() Returns the Fey::ORM::Mock::Recorder object that records all inserts, updates, and deletes for tables in this schema. $mock->seed_class( $class => \%attr, \%attr, ... ) This method accepts a class name and one or more hash references. Each hash reference should consist of some or all of the class's attributes and associated values. These seeded hash references will be used the next time "$class->new()" is called without the "_from_query" parameter. This prevents an attempt to fetch data from the database handle. Note that any attribute values you pass to the constructor will override seeded values.
