With the DC\_General we facilitate programming with excellent functions and influence possibilities. Different to Contao DC\_Table ============================= [](#different-to-contao-dc_table) With the use of the DC\_General there are many advantages, e.g. - Object-oriented data container definitions - Event driven - abstraction of the data source - modular design - verification of data - no invalid records - improved configuration of dependencies between data containers - more control through events How to use ========== [](#how-to-use) Simply declare an DCA as usual but put "General" instead of "Table" for the 'config/dataContainer' part. This will make DC\_General to be used. There are some notable changes in compatibility considering DC\_Table: 1. DC\_General does NOT support magic properties but provides setter and getter for almost anything you might desire. 2. There is NO activeRecord available as DC\_General uses it's own kind of data Models internally. 3. The system is totally event driven and relevant information (like the model in scope) is attached to the events. Help for the start ================== [](#help-for-the-start) You can start with our new [documentation](https://dc-general.readthedocs.io/de/latest/index.html)(currently in german) or [older one](http://contao-community-alliance.github.io/dc-general-docs/) (in english). We have an overview of [DCA mapping](https://dc-general.readthedocs.io/de/latest/reference/dca_mapping.html)and [Callbacks](https://dc-general.readthedocs.io/de/latest/reference/callbacks.html). In our [examples](https://github.com/contao-community-alliance/dc-general-example)you can see the difference to DC\_Table. ### Health Score 66 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance73 Regular maintenance activity Popularity41 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community48 Growing community involvement Maturity93 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
