Project goals
-------------

[](#project-goals)

- An active record implementation focusing on simplicity and ease of use.
- Support for a large amount of database vendors by leveraging the DBAL.
- A select-only query builder for selecting entities. Unlike the Doctrine query builder which is designed to cover a large amount of query possibilities, this builder has a small amount of methods that are safe from sql injection.

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

[](#installation)

Add `glynnforrest/active-doctrine` to your composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "glynnforrest/active-doctrine": "0.2.*"
    }
}
```

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

```
//create a Doctrine database connection to use
$config = [
    'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'user' => 'user',
    'password' => 'password',
    'dbname' => 'app',
];

$conn = Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager::getConnection($config);

// insert and update
$author = new App\Entity\Author($conn);

$author->name = 'Glynn';
$author->age = 102;

// insert
$author->save();

$author->age = 100;

// update
$author->save();

// selecting
// SELECT * FROM authors WHERE age > ?
$old_authors = Author::select($conn)
    ->where('age', '>', 100)
    ->execute();

foreach ($old_authors as $author) {
    echo $author->name;
    // books are loaded lazily
    // SELECT * FROM books WHERE authors_id = ?
    foreach ($author->books as $book) {
        echo $book->name;
        echo $book->page_count;
    }
}

// selecting with eager loading
// SELECT * FROM authors WHERE age > ?
// SELECT * FROM books WHERE id IN (?, ?, ?, ?) AND page_count > ?
$old_authors = Author::select($conn)
    ->where('age', '>', 100)
    ->with('books', function($s) {
        $s->where('page_count', '>', 100);
    })
    ->execute();

// deleting
$old_authors->delete();
```

There are many more features. Documentation and examples are in the `docs/` folder.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

As well as unit tests, there are functional tests which run against a real database connection. By default this uses an in-memory sqlite database, so will fail if the sqlite extension is not set up.

- `phpunit` runs all tests.
- `phpunit --testsuite unit` runs the unit tests only.
- `phpunit --testsuite functional` runs the functional tests only.

### Changing connection parameters

[](#changing-connection-parameters)

To change the database used in the functional tests, copy `phpunit.xml.dist` to a new file and set the `db_*` environment variables.

```

```

Make sure the target database exists, then run the tests with the new configuration.

`phpunit -c mysql.xml`
