Statamic Eloquent Driver
========================

[](#statamic-eloquent-driver)

This package provides support for storing your Statamic data in a database rather than the filesystem.

This driver currently supports entries but not taxonomies, navigations, globals, or form submissions. We'll be working on those in the future.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using Composer:

```
composer require statamic/eloquent-driver

```

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Statamic\Eloquent\ServiceProvider"

```

Since Statamic uses UUIDs within content files by default, we provide two solutions depending on whether you need to use existing content.

### Fresh install of [statamic/statamic](https://github.com/statamic/statamic) (using incrementing ids)

[](#fresh-install-of-statamicstatamic-using-incrementing-ids)

If you're starting from scratch, we can use traditional incrementing integers for IDs.

- Delete `content/collections/pages/home.md`
- Change the structure `tree` in `content/collections/pages.yaml` to `{}`.
- Copy the `create_entries_table` migration into `database/migrations`.
- Run `php artisan migrate`.

### Starting from an existing site (using UUIDs)

[](#starting-from-an-existing-site-using-uuids)

If you're planning to use existing content, we can use the existing UUIDs. This will prevent you from needing to update any data or relationships.

- In the `config/statamic-eloquent-driver.php` file, change `model` to `UuidEntryModel`.
- Copy the `create_entries_table_with_strings` migration into `database/migrations`.
- Run `php artisan migrate`.
- Import entries into database with `php please eloquent:import-entries`.

Storing Users in a Database
---------------------------

[](#storing-users-in-a-database)

Statamic has a[ built-in users eloquent driver](https://statamic.dev/knowledge-base/storing-users-in-a-database) if you'd like to cross that bridge too.

Known issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

When saving a collection or reordering entries, the URIs of all entries in the collection will be updated, even if they haven't changed. This is an intensive operation and is being addressed in a [future version](https://github.com/statamic/cms/pull/2768) of Statamic core.
