Constructors

"new"

  my $target = App::Sqitch::Target->new( sqitch => $sqitch );

Instantiates and returns an App::Sqitch::Target object. The most important parameters are "sqitch", "name", and "uri". The constructor tries really hard to figure out the proper name and URI during construction. If the "uri" parameter is passed, this is straight-forward: if no "name" is passed, "name" will be set to the stringified format of the URI (minus the password, if present).

Otherwise, when no URI is passed, the name and URI are determined by taking the following steps:

• If there is no name, get the engine key from or the "core.engine" +configuration option. If no key can be determined, an exception will be thrown.
• Use the key to look up the target name in the "engine.$engine.target" configuration option. If none is found, use "db:$key:".
• If the name contains a colon (":"), assume it is also the value for the URI.
• Otherwise, it should be the name of a configured target, so look for a URI in the "target.$name.uri" configuration option.

As a general rule, then, pass either a target name or URI string in the "name" parameter, and Sqitch will do its best to find all the relevant target information. And if there is no name or URI, it will try to construct a reasonable default from the command-line options or engine configuration.

All Target attributes may be passed as parameters to "new()". In addition, "new()" accepts a few non-attribute parameters that may be used to override parts of the connection URI. They are:

• "user"
• "host"
• "port"
• "dbname"

For example, if the the named target had its URI configured as "db:pg://fred@example.com/work", The "uri" would be set as such by:

  my $target = App::Sqitch::Target->new(sqitch => $sqitch, name => 'work');
  say $target->uri;

However, passing the URI parameters like this:

  my $target = App::Sqitch::Target->new(
      sqitch => $sqitch,
      name => 'work',
      user => 'bill',
      port => 1212,
  );
  say $target->uri;

Sets the URI to "db:pg://bill@example.com:1212/work".

"all_targets"

Returns a list of all the targets defined by the local Sqitch configuration file. Done by examining the configuration object to find all defined targets and engines, as well as the default "core" target. Duplicates are removed and the list returned. This method takes the same parameters as "new"; only "sqitch" is required. All other parameters will be set on all of the returned targets.
