At this experimental stage, it does provide some abstraction of ArangoDB's API. It's still not quite clear if the api abstraction will in the end result in a different package or stay in the *Core*. The client should generally be seen as a basis that takes away the boilerplate code of setting up requests and managing responses (headers, statuses, etc...) with ArangoDB. \####Highlights: - Request / Response Objects - A wrapper around injectable connectors. Two packages are being worked on: - (currently not up-todate) - - Flexibility through dependency injection: - Inject your own connector, Request or Response Objects - directly - via configuration resolution - via the client class's own simple IOC container - Register your plugins (for example a trace plugin) - Extend the core's functionality through traits *(This is still in the makings)* - supports ArangoDB's Async and Batch functionality - provides a toolbox for handling everything around communication with an ArangoDB server, such as url-, parameter- and header-building tools. - Includes a few test classes that provide basic testing functionality against the server and also a bit of insight on how to build a client on top of the core. \####PHP Versions: Tested and Supported with PHP 7.0+ & HHVM 3.15.0+ (but will most probably work from HHVM 3.11.0 onwards) Note: With HHVM, php7 mode must be enabled in its ini file (`hhvm.php7.all = true`). \#####Caution: This project is at the moment in a **highly experimental** phase. **The API is not yet stable and there most probably will be significant changes to it.** So, it's not recommended to build anything critical on top of it yet. ;) But... stay tuned... \#####Contributing As the project is still in a highly experimental state, it's not yet open to pull requests. But I'd love to see contributions after the initial experimental phase is over. :) I'll let you know via this readme and my Twitter-feed: \_ Thanks !! ###### Major Todo's: [](#major-todos) - Decision on whether ArangoDB's API abstraction should be in core or externally supplied - Rework Batch implementation - stabilize contracts for interoperability - stabilize plugin API - Tests refactoring (+ upgrade to PHPUnit 6) - implement ArangoDB authentication - implement basic tracer plugin - provide docs generation functionality \######License: Apache V2, see ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity43 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 99.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
