README

NotORM is a PHP library for simple working with data in the database. The most interesting feature is a very easy work with table relationships. The overall performance is also very important and NotORM can actually run faster than a native driver.

Official Website

Requirements

• PHP 8.0+
• Any database supported by PDO (tested with MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle)

Installation

composer require vrana/notorm

Usage

<?php
require "vendor/autoload.php";
$connection = new PDO("mysql:dbname=software");
$software = new NotORM\NotORM($connection);

foreach ($software->application()->order("title") as $application) { // get all applications ordered by title
    echo "$application[title]\n"; // print application title
    echo $application->author["name"] . "\n"; // print name of the application author
    foreach ($application->application_tag() as $application_tag) { // get all tags of $application
        echo $application_tag->tag["name"] . "\n"; // print the tag name
    }
}

Development

• composer check - Checks the code by PHP_CodeSniffer and PHPStan
• composer test - Runs the tests in tests/ on MySQL, in-memory SQLite and PostgreSQL, the servers need an empty database software accessible with the credentials from tests/connect.inc.php
• composer test mysql - Runs the tests only on MySQL, similarly sqlite and pgsql
