Pragmatic ORM
=============

[](#pragmatic-orm)

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
use Colorium\Orm\MySQL;

$mysql = new MySQL('dbname');
```

You can also map some model classes that will be use intead of `\stdClass` :

```
use Colorium\Orm\MySQL;

$mysql = new MySQL('dbname', [
    'user' => My\App\User::class
]);
```

### Read

[](#read)

Read many, return a set of `\stdClass` (or specified class if previously mapped)

```
$users = $mysql->user->fetch();
$users = $mysql->user->where(...)->sort(...)->limit(...)->fetch();
```

Where clause (working operators: `>`, `>=`, `where('age', 27)->fetch();
$users = $mysql->user->where('age >', 27)->fetch();
$users = $mysql->user->where('age', [25, 26, 27]])->fetch();
// or multiple where
$users = $mysql->user->where(['age' => 27, 'eyes' => 'green'])->fetch();
```

Sort clause

```
$users = $mysql->user->sort('city')->fetch(); // ASC
$users = $mysql->user->sort('city', SORT_DESC)->fetch();
```

Limit clause

```
$users = $mysql->user->limit(5)->fetch(); // 5 records from start
$users = $mysql->user->limit(5, 10)->fetch(); // 10 records from the 5th
```

Read one, return a `\stdClass` (or specified class if previously mapped)

```
$user = $mysql->user->one(); // first record
$user = $mysql->user->where(...)->one();
```

### Write

[](#write)

Add record (you can pass an array or an object)

```
$id = $mysql->user->add([
    'username' => 'New player'
]);
```

Edit record

```
$user = $mysql->user->where('id' => 15)->one();

$user->username = 'Old player';
$mysql->user->where('id', 15)->edit($user);
```

Drop record

```
$mysql->user->where('id' => 15)->drop();
```

### Custom SQL query

[](#custom-sql-query)

```
$users = $mysql->raw('select * from `user`');
```

Hub
---

[](#hub)

Hub is a global container for orm sources, used by model helper :

```
Use Colorium\Orm\Hub;

Hub::source($mysql);

$users = Hub::user()->fetch();
```

Model
-----

[](#model)

Model is more convenient way of using Colorium Orm (do not forget to setup `Hub` before) :

```
class User
{
    use Colorium\Orm\Model;

    /** @var int */
    public $id;

    /** @var string */
    public $username;

    /** @var string */
    public $password;
}
```

Then :

```
$user = User::one(['id' => 15]);

$user->username = 'Winner';
$user->save();
```

Install
-------

[](#install)

`composer require colorium/orm`
