Conscribo Open Source / Conscribo Framework
The Conscribo framework provides at this time, an Object Relation Model called DataStruct.
Datastruct provides a way to map objects to sql tables and provide an easy way to load and store the objects.
It is used by, developed for and maintained by Conscribo, a commercial accounting and memberadministration SAAS application used by approx. 700 organizations.
Datastruct has the following characteristics:
- Pure PHP
To ensure compatibility in a variety of environments and maximize IDE compatibility,
we do not use non php constructs (like phpdoc tags), and no modules that need to be installed.
- Non-conflicting
An object using Datastruct has it's own inheritance and does not need to extend some orm abstraction.
Datastruct is fully trait based, and applied where needed.
- Well defined
For various reasons, we like to define our own sql tables, and tell the orm how to use it.
Therefore, datastruct demands you define a typed classmember to sql table mapping.
- Performance
It is not the fastest orm, but thanks to lots of optimizations, can be
tuned to perform well in demanding environments.
Datastruct provides the at least the following 'features':
- Create, read, update (but not delete) objects with members (fields) and store
them in tables in your database without any hassle. (ORM)
- Define fields of a variety of basic types, or create your own types if nessecary
- Multiple key handling: A class with a composite primary or foreign key is no problem.
- Multiple tables in 1 class (onetoone extensionjoin). use more than one table as
one table in one object
- Associative Array join in 1 class (onetomany extensionjoin). Use records from another
table as an array in an object
- Join Objects (onetomany objectjoin). Define relations with other "Datastruct ojects"
as members in your object
- Collect objects. Define Collections (or don't and use a virtualCollection) to
search, filter, sort, limit, create, read and update multiple objects.
- Extend your objects. Specialize your objects with extensions and their own "extended" field definitions
Version info:
-
0.0.1 Initial import.
Development on CF started in 2014 as a closed source solution. In 2017 it became open source, and it still has some "quirks" that make it rely on other Conscribo architecture. They wil dissapear before a stable version.
Roadmap:
- 1.0.0 Open source. To make it suitable to be used in public, some things have to be done: - Rewire the code to run outside Conscribo. - Make it zero configuration as much as possible. - Translate code comments to english. - Write documentation. - Write unit tests (there are some acceptancetests available, but they test implementations of CF in Conscribo) - Write some usage examples
