Generalities

The Papyrus package can store information in files, perform queries, updates, and deletes data . All this, based on a primary key or identifier. The information is stored in JSON format.

Installation

To install via composer (http://getcomposer.org/), place the following in your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "barbosa/papyrus": "dev-master"
    }
}

or download package from github.com:

Configuration

Papyrus need to run an array of configurations and a path to the folder containing the files storage.

Configuration array

Create an array of configurations in a file or in the file which instances to Papyrus. The array must have two key, extension and files:

<?php

/**
 * Example in a configurations file. 
 */

return [

        'extension'	=>	'.project',

        'files' =>  [
                    'users' => ['dni(int#)', 'name', 'lastName']
                    ]
       ];

Other way, in the file which instances to Papyrus:

<?php 

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \Barbosa\Papyrus\Papyrus;

$config = [

        'extension' =>  '.project',

        'files' =>  [
                    'users' => ['dni(int#)', 'name', 'lastName']
                    ]
        ];

$papyrus = new Papyrus($config);

This extension is for all files:

'extension' => '.project'

The file structure represents fields in a SQL table , what is in brackets, are the fields of each file:

'files' => [

    'fileName' => ['primaryKey(int#)', 'field', 'otherField'],
    'otherFileName' => ['primaryKey(str#)', 'field', 'otherField']
	
    ]

The options for primary key:

Auto increment integer (int++)
Unique integer (int#)
Unique string (str#)

Absolute storage folder path

Storage files that are configured in the array must be created in a folder chosen by the user, the folder path should be passed to Papyrus:

<?php 

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \Barbosa\Papyrus\Papyrus;

/**
 * Complete example. 
 */

$config = [

        'extension' =>  '.project',

        'files' =>  [
                    'users' => ['dni(int#)', 'name', 'lastName']
                    ]
        ];

$path = realpath(__DIR__ . '/storageFolder/');

$papyrus = new Papyrus($config, $path);

You can also switch configurations through methods:

<?php 

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \Barbosa\Papyrus\Papyrus;

/**
 * Complete example with setters. 
 */

$papyrus = new Papyrus();

$papyrus->setStoragePath(realpath(__DIR__ . '/storageFolder/'));

$config = [

        'extension' =>  '.project',

        'files' =>  [
                    'users' => ['dni(int#)', 'name', 'lastName']
                    ]
        ];

$papyrus->loadConfigurations($config);

Creating of storage files

As example, a file will be created with registers name and the extension .data:

$ touch path/to/storageFolder/registers.data

In the console:

$ ls -l
-rwx---rw- 1 user user 494 jul  8 21:10 registers.data

You can add every files that you need.

Permissions (Only in Linux)

Files in the storage folder (path/to/storageFolder/):

chmod 706 fileName.extension

Example:

chmod 706 registers.data

Quick Start and Examples

For purposes of explaining with examples , it is assumed that there is a file called users with the following structure:

'files' => [
	'users' => ['dni(int#)', 'name', 'lastName']
	]

Field dni(int#), indicates that is the primary key and a unique integer.

Require the autoload file:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \Barbosa\Papyrus\Papyrus;

Insert

$values = ['dni' => 123456, 'name' => 'Tony', 'lastName' => 'Stark'];

$papyrus = new Papyrus();
$papyrus->insertInto('users')->values($values)->runQuery();

Select

The where method can only receive a value of array type, which should be the primary key or identifier.

Select all content in a file with all fields.
$papyrus->select()->from('users')->runQuery();
Select all content in a file with some fields.
$papyrus->select('dni, name')->from('users')->runQuery();
Select a record with all fields.
$papyrus->select()->from('users')->where(['dni' => 123456])->runQuery();
Select a record with some fields
$papyrus->select('dni, name')->from('users')->where(['dni' => 123456])->runQuery();
Select records without 'Where' clausule, sorted by a field with value ASC or DESC.
$papyrus->select()->from('users')->orderBy(['name' => 'ASC'])->runQuery();

$papyrus->select('dni, lastName')->from('users')->orderBy(['lastName' => 'ASC'])->runQuery();
Select records without 'Where' clausule but with limitation.
$papyrus->select()->from('users')->limit(3)->runQuery();

$papyrus->select()->from('users')->limit(3)->orderBy(['name' => 'DESC'])->runQuery();

Delete

Delete all records
$papyrus->deleteFrom('users')->runQuery();
Delete a record
$papyrus->deleteFrom('users')->where(['dni' => 123456])->runQuery();

Update

The primary key of a record can not be modified.

Update all records
$data = ['name' => 'Tony', 'lastname' => 'Stark'];

$papyrus->update('users')->set($data)->runQuery();
Update a record
$data = ['name' => 'Tony', 'lastName' => 'The Iron Man'];

$papyrus->update('users')->set($data)->where(['dni' => 123456])->runQuery();

Get the data of query

$papyrus->getRecords();

Get the status of query

$papyrus->getStatus();
