Eloquent ORM integration for the Argon runtime stack.

Installation

composer require maduser/argon-eloquent

Registration

Register the provider in your application composition layer:

use Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\Provider\EloquentServiceProvider;

$container->register(EloquentServiceProvider::class);

The provider registers:

• Illuminate\Container\Container
• Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher
• Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager
• Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager
• Illuminate\Database\ConnectionResolverInterface
• Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\EloquentConnectionRegistry
• Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\Config\EloquentConfig

Existing container definitions are not replaced.

Connections

Add database connections during service-provider registration:

use Maduser\Argon\Container\AbstractServiceProvider;
use Maduser\Argon\Container\ArgonContainer;
use Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\EloquentConnectionRegistry;

final class DatabaseServiceProvider extends AbstractServiceProvider
{
    #[\Override]
    public function register(ArgonContainer $container): void
    {
        $registry = $container->get(EloquentConnectionRegistry::class);

        $registry->add('default', [
            'driver' => 'sqlite',
            'database' => dirname(__DIR__) . '/storage/database.sqlite',
            'prefix' => '',
        ]);

        $registry->add('analytics', [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'database' => 'analytics',
            'username' => 'app',
            'password' => '',
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
        ]);
    }
}

The default connection name is default. Configure another default explicitly:

use Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\Config\EloquentParameter;

$container->getParameters()->set(EloquentParameter::DEFAULT_CONNECTION, 'analytics');

Boot Behavior

The provider registers services during register() and boots Eloquent during boot().

That means connection providers should add connections in register(), before the application calls $container->boot(). This keeps the binding graph explicit and still allows Eloquent to perform its required runtime setup.

By default, model events are enabled and Capsule is not registered globally:

use Maduser\Argon\Eloquent\Config\EloquentParameter;

$parameters = $container->getParameters();
$parameters->set(EloquentParameter::BOOT_EVENTS, true);
$parameters->set(EloquentParameter::GLOBAL, false);

EloquentParameter::GLOBAL calls Capsule's setAsGlobal() during boot. Leave it disabled unless the application explicitly needs Capsule's static API.

Usage

Inject Illuminate's own database services:

use Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager;

final readonly class UserRepository
{
    public function __construct(
        private DatabaseManager $database,
    ) {
    }

    public function count(): int
    {
        return $this->database->connection()->table('users')->count();
    }
}

Eloquent models work after container boot:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

final class User extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'users';
}

Boundaries

This package only wires Eloquent into Argon. It does not provide migrations, model discovery, database config loading, transactions helpers, repositories, or an Argon ORM abstraction.
