The present version here is about to become version 2.0.0 and has since undergone major refactoring, splitting up huge code bloats and introducing even more abstraction and therefore may be considered a total rewrite. We hope that ultimatively this driver will become the de facto standard driver for Contao extensions in the future, once proven to be stable enough. 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. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 56.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
