+title: the intentioncloud strike back
+category: perl
+---
+
+I've decided to rewrite the intention cloud. Still with "Catalyst":http://dev.catalystframework.org/wiki/, but I've replaced prototype with "jquery":http://jquery.com this time. I've end up with less code than the previous version. For the moment, only google is available, but I will add overture, and may be more engines.
+
+There is still some bug to fix, some tests to add, and I will be able to restore the "intentioncloud.net":http://intentioncloud.net domain.
+
+It's really easy to plug a database to a catalyst application using "Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema":http://p3rl.org/Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema.  Via the helper, you can tell the model to use "DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader":http://p3rl.org/DBIx:/Class::Schema::Loader, so the table informations will be loaded from the database at runtime. You end up with a code that looks like 
+
+{% highlight perl %}
+package intentioncloud::Model::DB;
+use strict;
+use base 'Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema';
+__PACKAGE__->config(schema_class => 'intentioncloud::Schema',);
+1;
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+and the schema:
+
+{% highlight perl %}
+package intentioncloud::Schema;
+use strict;
+use base qw/DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader/;
+__PACKAGE__->loader_options(relationships => 1);
+1;
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Now, to do a query:
+
+{% highlight perl %}
+my $rs = $c->model('DB::TableName')->find(1);
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+and your done !
+
+The code for the intentioncloud is avaible on "github":http://github.com/franckcuny/intentioncloud/tree/master.
