SlimDb
======

[](#slimdb)

Small db layer around the PDO and PDO statement.

The package goal used to be small and handy, with the basic, commonly used db functions (like select, update, insert and delete). Now it's more ambitious, and it's no so small and basic. Note: there's only support for mysql and sqlite.

Installing the package
======================

[](#installing-the-package)

You can download the package directly from [GitHub](https://github.com/entraigas/SlimDb)Or install it using `composer.json` file

```
{
	"require": {
		"entraigas/slimdb": "v1.2.1"
	}
}

```

Db Setup
========

[](#db-setup)

The configuration it's done using arrays. In this example, there are two db settings:

- the first has 'portal' as connection name, and it's a mysql db.
- the second has 'admin' as connection name, and it's a sqlite db.

Finally, there is a 'default' connection name configured with the 'portal' value.

```
//database configuration array
$portal => array(
	'driver' => 'mysql',
	'getPdo' => function(){
			//validate PDO extensions
			if (!defined('\PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME')) return false; //PDO is not available
			if (!extension_loaded('pdo_mysql')) return false; //pdo_mysql extension not loaded
			//make connection
			$pdo = new \PDO("mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=testdb", 'user', 'password');
			//default connection settings
			$pdo->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
			$pdo->query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
			//done, return pdo object
			return $pdo;
		}
);
$admin => array(
	'driver' => 'sqlite',
	'getPdo' => function(){
			//validate PDO extensions
			if (!defined('\PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME')) return false; //PDO is not available
			if (!extension_loaded('pdo_sqlite')) return false; //pdo_sqlite extension not loaded
			//make connection
			$pdo = new \PDO("sqlite:/path/to/database.db");
			//default connection settings
			$pdo->setAttribute(\PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
			//done, return pdo object
			return $pdo;
		}
);

//initialize SlimDb
\SlimDb\SlimDb::configure('portal', $portal);
\SlimDb\SlimDb::configure('admin', $admin);

//set the default connection
\SlimDb\SlimDb::setDefaultConnection('portal');

```
