Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.3
- Nette Framework
- dibi
- Composer

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require drago-ex/database

```

Knowledge
---------

[](#knowledge)

- [Dibi - smart database layer for PHP](https://github.com/dg/dibi)

Basic Model Example
-------------------

[](#basic-model-example)

```
#[Table('table_name', 'primary_key')]
class Model
{
    use Database;
}
```

Common Queries
--------------

[](#common-queries)

Reading records from a table:

```
$this->model->read('*');
```

Find records by column name:

```
$this->model->find('column', 'value');
```

Get a record by ID:

```
$this->model->get(1);
```

Delete a record by column name:

```
$this->model->delete('column', 'value');
```

Save records as an array (update if `id` is provided):

```
$this->model->save(['column' => 'value']);
```

Using Entities
--------------

[](#using-entities)

```
class SampleEntity extends Drago\Database\Entity
{
	public const Table = 'name';
	public const PrimaryKey = 'id';

	public ?int $id = null;
	public string $sample;
}
```

Use the entity in a model:

```
#[Table(SampleEntity::Table, SampleEntity::PrimaryKey, entity: SampleEntity::class)]
class Model
{
	/** @phpstan-use Database */
    use Database;
}
```

Fetch records as objects:

```
$row = $this->model->find('id', 1)->record();

// Accessing properties
echo $row->id;
echo $row->sample;
```

Save Entity Records
-------------------

[](#save-entity-records)

To save entity data (update record if `id` is present):

```
$entity = new SampleEntity;
$entity->id = 1;
$entity->sample = 'sample';

$this->save($entity);
```

Advanced Features
-----------------

[](#advanced-features)

### Entity Class for Database Mapping

[](#entity-class-for-database-mapping)

You can use a custom entity class with database mapping:

```
#[Table(SampleEntity::Table, SampleEntity::PrimaryKey, entity: SampleEntity::class)]
class Model
{
	/** @phpstan-use Database */
    use Database;
}

// Fetch records directly as objects
$row = $this->model->find('id', 1)->record();

// Access the object's properties
echo $row->id;
echo $row->sample;

// Fetch all records
$allRecords = $this->model->read('*')->recordAll();
```

### Entity Generation

[](#entity-generation)

For automatic entity generation, consider using the Drago Generator tool:
