Supported Databases ------------------- [](#supported-databases) This library should work correctly in almost any database that uses basic SQL syntax. Databases supported by PDO and suitable drivers are available at . Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require initorm/orm ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Model and Entity [](#model-and-entity) Model and Entity; are two common concepts used in database abstraction. To explain these two concepts in the roughest way; - **Model :** Each model is a class that represents a table in the database. - **Entity :** Entity is a class that represents a single row of data. The most basic example of a model class would look like this. ``` namespace App\Model; class Posts extends \InitORM\ORM\Model { /** * If your model will use a connection other than your global connection, provide connection information. * @var array|null Default : NULL */ protected array $credentials = [ 'dsn' => '', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8mb4', 'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci', ]; /** * If not specified, \InitORM\ORM\Entity::class is used by default. * * @var string */ protected $entity = \App\Entities\PostEntity::class; /** * If not specified, the name of your model class is used. * * @var string */ protected string $schema = 'posts'; /** * The name of the PRIMARY KEY column. * * @var string */ protected string $schemaId = 'id'; /** * Specify FALSE if you want the data to be permanently deleted. * * @var bool */ protected bool $useSoftDeletes = true; /** * Column name to hold the creation time of the data. * * @var string|null */ protected ?string $createdField = 'created_at'; /** * The column name to hold the last time the data was updated. * * @var string|null */ protected ?string $updatedField = 'updated_at'; /** * Column name to keep deletion time if $useSoftDeletes is active. * * @var string|null */ protected ?string $deletedField = 'deleted_at'; protected bool $readable = true; protected bool $writable = true; protected bool $deletable = true; protected bool $updatable = true; } ``` The most basic example of a entity class would look like this. ``` namespace App\Entities; class PostEntity extends \InitORM\ORM\Entity { /** * An example of a getter method for the "post_title" column. * * Usage : * echo $entity->post_title; */ public function getPostTitleAttribute($title) { return strtoupper($title); } /** * An example of a setter method for the "post_title" column. * * Usage : * $entity->post_title = 'New Post Title'; */ public function setPostTitleAttribute($title) { $this->post_title = strtolower($title); } } ``` Getting Help ------------ [](#getting-help) If you have questions, concerns, bug reports, etc, please file an issue in this repository's Issue Tracker.
