db-to-php
=========

[](#db-to-php)

A framework for automating PHP code generation for working with databases.

Many times we need data object classes corresponding to different database tables. For testing and populating the databases with dummy data we also require factories which generate dummy/fake data for those tables.

A lot of time is spent doing those tasks manually, so I decided to automate the process. Not only entities and factories are created by this library, but the original type is also detected and used in the classes and in the factory values generator.

For now the library supports only MySql as a database driver.

1. Create entity classes based on your database tables.
2. Create factories for automatic generation of entities with random data, or just random data for tables
3. (Coming soon) Create repositories for writing/reading these entities
4. (Coming soon) Working to support different database drivers aside from MySql

Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require kristijorgji/db-to-php
```

Run the following command to initialize dbToPhp

```
vendor/bin/dbToPhp init
