Inspiration

Having been introduced to learning Laravel Framework; Over the past yr(s), Coming back to vanilla PHP, was pretty tough. So i decided to create a much more easier way of communicating with Database, using native PHP PDO:: Driver.

Documentation

Requirements

  • >= php 8.0+

Installation

Prior to installing database package get the Composer dependency manager for PHP because it'll simplify installation.

composer require tamedevelopers/database

Instantiate

Step 1 — Require composer autoload:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Step 2 — [optional] If you want the Package scalfolding

  • This will auto setup your entire application on a go!
    • It's helper class can be called, using -- autoloader_start()
Description
It's important to install vendor in your project root, As we use this to get your root [dir]
By default you don't need to define any path again
Files you'll see after you reload browser:
.env .env.example .gitignore .htaccess .user.ini init.php tame[bash] 
use Tamedevelopers\Database\AutoLoader;

AutoLoader::start();

// then reload your browser to allow the system scalfold for you

Init.php File

  • [optional] This will extends the composer autoload and other setup
    • If you used the package Package scalfolding this file will be automatically generated, that you can include at the beginning of your project.
Description
Once application is started! You can choose to include the init.php
The file includes all configuration needed and as well extends the vendor/autoload.php path.

BootLoader

  • If you do not want to include or use the init.php file
    • All you need do is call the bootloader, to start the database life-circle.
use Tamedevelopers\Database\Capsule\AppManager;

AppManager::bootLoader();
// app_manager()->bootLoader();

Database Connection

  • Take two param as [$name|$options]
    • Mandatory $name as string of connection name
    • [optional] $options and an array, if no connection data is found
    • First navigate to [config/database.php] file and add connection configuration
DB::connection('connName', $options);

Database Disconnect

  • If you want to connect to already connected database, You first need to disconnect
    • Takes one param as string
DB::disconnect('connName');

Database Reconnect

  • same as Database Connection
DB::reconnect('connName', $options);

App Debug Env

  • The .env file contains a key called APP_DEBUG
    • It's mandatory to set to false on Production environment
    • This helps to secure your applicaiton and exit with error 404
    • instead of displaying entire server errors.
key Type Default Value
APP_DEBUG boolean true

Database Connection Keys

  • All available connection keys
    • The DB_CONNECTION uses only mysql
    • No other connection type is supported for now.
key Type Default Value
driver string mysql
host string localhost
port int 3306
database string
username string
password string
charset string utf8mb4
collation string utf8mb4_unicode_ci
prefix string
prefix_indexes bool false

Usage

  • All Methods of usage
    • Without calling the DB::connection() and passing the driver name you want. It will automatically be using the default connection driver, you've in your setup'

Table

  • Takes a parameter as string table_name
$db = DB::connection();

$db->table('users');

Insert

  • Takes one parameter as assoc array column_name => value
    • It returns an object on success or error
DB::table('users')->insert([
    'user_id'    => 10000001,
    'first_name' => 'Alfred',
    'last_name'  => 'Pete',
    'wallet_bal' => 0.00,
    'registered' => strtotime('now'),
]);

-- To see data, you need to save into a variable

Insert Or Ignore

  • Same as insert() method
    • It returns an object of created data or false on error
DB::table('users')->insertOrIgnore([
    'user_id'    => 10000001,
    'first_name' => 'Alfred',
]);

Update

  • Takes one parameter as assoc array column_name => value
    • Returns an int numbers of affected rows or error
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->update([
        'first_name' => 'Alfred C.',
    ]);

Update Or Ignore

  • Same as update() method
    • Returns an int numbers of affected rows or 0 on error
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->updateOrIgnore([
        'first_name' => 'Alfred C.',
    ]);

delete

  • Returns an int
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->delete();

destroy

  • Take two param as [value|column]
    • Mandatory value as mixed value
    • [optional] column as Default is id
    • Returns an int
DB::table('posts')->destroy(1);
// Query: delete from `posts` where `id` = ?

DB::table('posts')->destroy(10, 'post_id');
// Query: delete from `posts` where `post_id` = ?

Increment

  • Takes three parameter
    • Only the first param is required
param Data types
column required string
count or [] int | array
param array

1 By default if the the second param not passed, this will increment by 1

DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->increment('wallet_bal');
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->increment('wallet_bal', 10);
  • You can also pass in a second or third parameter to update additional columns
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->increment('wallet_bal', 100.23, [
        'first_name' => 'F. Peterson',
        'status'     => 1,
    ]);
  • You can ommit the second param and it'll be automatically seen as update param (If an array)
DB::table('users')
    ->where('user_id', 10000001)
    ->increment('wallet_bal', [
        'first_name' => 'F. Peterson',
        'status'     => 1,
    ]);

  • Take two param as an array

    • Mandatory $conditions param as array
    • [optional] $data param as array

  • First it checks if codition to retrieve data. If fails, then it merge the $conditions to $data value to create new records

DB::table('users')->firstOrCreate(
    ['email' => 'example.com']
);
  • or -- Example 2
DB::table('users')->firstOrCreate(
    ['email' => 'example.com'],

$users = DB::table('users')
            ->paginate(40);

$users // this will return the data objects
$users->links() // this will return the paginations links view
$users->showing() // Display items of total results

Exists

    8. insertOrIgnore()

Collection Methods

Methods Description
getAttributes() array Returns an array of data
getOriginal() object Returns an object of data
isEmpty() boolean true | false If data is empty
isNotEmpty() opposite of ->isEmpty()

    • With this you can access data as an object\|array key property
    • If no data found then it returns null on ->first() method only
$user = DB::tableExists('users')
            ->first();

if($user){
    $user->first_name
    $user['first_name']
}

$user->toArray()
$user->getAttributes()
  • Example two(2) ->get() \| ->paginate() Request
$users = DB::tableExists('users')
            ->where('is_active', 1),
            ->random(),
            ->get();

if($users->isNotEmpty()){
    foreach($users as $user){
        $user->first_name
        $user['first_name']
        $user->toArray()
        $user->getAttributes()
    }
}

Auth

  • Lightweight guard-based authentication similar to Laravel.
  • attempt() only validates and sets in-memory user; call login() to persist to session.
method name Description
guard() Create a guard bound to a table and [optional] connection.
attempt() Validate credentials, set in-memory user on success; does not persist to session.
login() Persist the current user (or provided array) to session. If userData is not an array, it’s ignored.
user() Get the in-memory user or rehydrate from session if available.
id() Get the authenticated user’s id (or custom key).
logout() Clear in-memory user and remove from session.

auth-guard

  • Set the authentication guard (Takes two param)
    • Mandatory $table param as string
    • [optional] $connection param as string | null database connection name.
use Tamedevelopers\Database\Auth;

$admin = Auth::guard('admins');

Auth Usage

use Tamedevelopers\Database\Auth;

// Create guards
$admin = (new Auth)->guard('tb_admin');
$user  = (new Auth)->guard('tb_user', 'woocommerce');

// Credentials (password is required in attempt)
$credentials = [
    'email' => 'peter.blosom@gmail.com',
    'status' => '1',
    'password' => 'tagged',
];

// 1) Validate credentials only (no session persistence)
if ($user->attempt($credentials)) {
    // In-memory user available
    $user->check();          // true
    $user->id();             // e.g., 123
    $user->user();           // full user array
}

// 2) Persist explicitly (similar to Laravel Auth::login())
$user->login($user->user());   // stores sanitized user in session (no password)

// 3) Retrieve later in another request
$another = (new Auth)->guard('tb_user', 'woocommerce');
$another->user();    // rehydrated from session
$another->check();   // true if session had user

// 4) Logout
$another->logout();  // clears in-memory and session

Params Description
key ENV key
value ENV value
allow_quote true | false - Default is true (Allow quotes within value)
allow_space true | false - Default is false (Allow space between key and value) 
use Tamedevelopers\Support\Env;
