=head1 NAME

Asynapse::Record - Asynapse REST Model Client with API similar to ActiveRecord

=head1 VERSION

This document describes Asynapse::Record version 0.0.1

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # Define Your own AsynapseRecord Class.
    package Person;
    use Moose;
    extends 'Asynapse::Record';
    has url_root => ( default => "http://localhost:3001" );
    has model => ( default => "person" );

    # Use it
    my $p = Person->find(1)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module uses similar interface as ActiveRecord to access your
data.  So far it has only 4 useful class methods: find, update,
create, delete.  The major difference between AsynapseRecord and
other DBI abstraction layers are, in fact, AsynapseRecord isn't a
DBD. It manipulate data on an http server using REST requests. It's
a REST client that is specialized for manipulating data.

To use this module, define your own record class like this:

    package Person;
    use Moose;
    extends 'Asynapse::Record';
    has url_root => ( default => "http://localhost:3001" );
    has model => ( default => "person" );

You need to supply the default value of "url_root" and "model" in
there. At this moment, the value of url_root should point to a Jifty
instance with REST plugin installed. And the value of "model" should
be the same name as one of those models in that Jifty instance.

The usage looks like this:

    my $p = Person->find(1)

At this moment, all methods listed below are class methods.

=head1 INTERFACE 

=over

=item new()

Object constructor. But so far it's not useful to you. So don't
call it.

=item find( $id )

Retrieve a record from this model with primary key $id.

=item create( $attr )

Create a new with attributes specified in $attr hash ref.

=item update( $id, $attr )

Update the record with primary key $id with new sets of
attributes specified in $attr hash ref.

=item delete( $id )

Remove the record with primary key $id.

=item url_root ( $url )

Get / set your Jifty instance's URL. You should set this in your own
model class with this:

  has url_root => ( default => '...' );

=item model ( $model_name )

Get / set your associated model name in the Jifty instance.
You should set this in your own model class with this:

  has model => ( default => '...' );

=back

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Asynapse requires no configuration files or environment variables.
However, you need a Jifty instance with REST plugin (which is
given by default now.)

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

L<Moose>, L<LWP::UserAgent>, L<JSON::Syck>, and a Jifty instance
that installs L<Jifty::Plugin::REST>

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
