I probably do it backwards, i dont use dbix::class just mojo::pg and like
you my app is a big one. I think the Plugin route is a good way to do it
but I didnt go that way. I'm using Mojo::Base for my model classes.
I made a models folder so lib/Models/mymodelclass.pm
my controllers handle the views and the requests and create new objects of
my models (i know i should use helpers...), my models handle anything that
requires a database connection or something related to the table or view. I
pass in the session, db, and anything else needed when making the object.
So for an employee listing page for example, if i was getting a list of
employees but needed to manipulate them, i would run my query, alter the
data, return it. my controller picks it up and shoots it to the template
view.
My models aren't always a db connection though sometimes I need small
tweaks and I'll just make a subroutine in that model because it's still
related in a way. Is this bad blending my model with a non database
subroutine probably but its related to the database table/controller/view
so i'm going to keep it how it is.
Hope this gives an idea.
