The Joomla! **ORM** package provides a storage access abstraction using repositories for your application.

**This package is in a pre-alpha state; use it to get familiar with it and to improve it, but do not use it in production, unless you really know what you are doing.**

Installation via Composer
-------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer)

Simply run the following from the command line in your project's root directory (where your `composer.json` file is):

```
composer require joomla-x/orm:dev-master
```

Contributing

[](#contributing)

Please review  for information on how to contribute to the Framework's development.

ToDo
----

[](#todo)

- Implement handling of entity role
    - Don't create reverse relations for `lookup` tables
- Implement fieldset handling
- Relation Handling
    - Implement belongsToMany handling on installation
    - Implement handling of belongsToMany relations in UnitOfWork::checkForChangedRelations()
    - Implement handling of hasMany relations in UnitOfWork::checkForChangedRelations()
    - Implement handling of hasManyThrough relations in UnitOfWork::checkForChangedRelations()
- Move Entity DTD to a Joomla repository when it is stable enough
- Replace DTD with XMLSchema, so `` can be used to specify attributes that are specific to certain field types. See [this StackOverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27878402/how-to-make-type-depend-on-attribute-value-using-conditional-type-assignment#answer-27880329) for more information.
- Apply validation according to definition in `EntityBuilder::castToEntity()`
- Use entity name instead of table name in `EntityBuilder::resolveHasManyThrough()`
- Add `__call()` method to Repository to proxy any `get*()` methods from the DataMappers
- Implement handler selection according to entity definition
- Implement `entity="@field_name"` syntax for belongsTo relations
