> A simple MySQL wrapper optimized for bigger data sets

Quick usage
-----------

[](#quick-usage)

```
class User extends Entity {
    // ..
}

$db = Database::create('some PDO connection string');
$user = $db->findOne(User::class, 1);

$user->setName('Dave');
$db->update($user);

$users = $db->findBy(User::class, ['name' => 'Dave']);

// uses a generator
foreach ($users as $user) {
    // $user is an instance of User
}
```

Features
--------

- Easily present your entities as JSON without worrying about n+1 queries

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1, or higher
- PDO extension

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

[](#installation)

Docs
----

[](#docs)

For now, see the tests for usage.

Nice to have
------------

[](#nice-to-have)

- For now only MySQL and SQLite is supported, it would be nice to have support for more RDMSs, like Postgres
- Tests are currently run with an in-memory SQLite database, a MySQL database would be better

Final notes
-----------

[](#final-notes)

Currently used in a single production product, features are tied to this product.
