Hello,

I am no DBIx::Class expert but I think one way of doing it is first
using the primary key or a unique constraint of the table Book to
find the object you want and then update it.  Something like
this:

my $book = $c->model('MyApp::Book')->find($book_pk_id);
$book->title($new_title);
$book->rating($new_rating);
$book->update;

 Hi,
 It's pretty neat to use html::widget to create/validate html
form. Problem is I need to create a lot of customized  html forms that
could not done easily with html::widget. I want to simply do my own html
form and use a normal action to update the record.
 I tried to use somehing like:
 my $book = $c->model('myapp::Book')->update({
                 title   => $title,
                 rating  => $rating,
             });
 but of course, it updates the whole table, not only the wanted
record, because I do not put in the condition "where".
 I used to use : update_from_form in older version of catalyst.
 Could someone please show me the syntax to do the update, either
adding condition to the above method (which I think there is a simple
way), or using update_from_form
 something like the old timer:
 
 $c->for( optional => [ myapp::M::CDBI::books->columns ] );
 ..
 myapp::M::CDBI::books->retrieve($id)->update_from_form(
$c->form);
 
 
 Thank you
