A simple orm for php
Requires

- ext-pdo: *
Requires (Dev)
- fakerphp/faker: ^1.15
- phpunit/phpunit: ^11
README
This is a simple ORM database mapper which delivers some convenience methods to query, create and update objects. It does not support associations. Instead I use the convention that a foreign key is the name of the table appended '_uid'. The only other convention is that an object must have a property named 'uid' and when you call save and the uid == 0 it will be converted to an insert statement otherwise it will be converted to an update statement.
It is a base on my older similar package but with now you can use typed properties.
Installation
This package can be installed with Composer
`composer install bronsted\orm`
Example
Below is defined a Sample class
class Sample extends DbObject { protected int $uid = 0; protected ?string $name = null; protected ?DateTime $created = null; }
This class will have a corresponding table name sample where properties are columns.
As you se the properties are describe by types, which means that when the object is loaded from a table row, the columns are converted to the property type. In that way the date is not a string, but an date object with meaningful operation.
To create an object and persist it
$sample = new Sample(); $uid = $sample->save();
To to find one or more objects
// returns a single object $sample = Sample::getByUid($uid); // returns 0 or more objects $samples = Sample::getBy(['name' => 'something%']);
To change a property and persist it
$sample = Sample::getByUid($uid); $sample->name = 'Hello'; $sample->save();
To delete an object
$sample = Sample::getByUid($uid); $sample->delete();
You also have access to the lower level database function in the DB class, which provides transformations for DbObject to sql or you can write the sql your self.
Configuration
The connection is done with plain php PDO.
$pdo = new PDO('sqlite::memory:'); $dbCon = new DbConnection($pdo); Db::setConnection($dbCon);
