(Ex. Highway 5.2.\* is tested to work with Laravel 5.2.\* while Highway 5.1.\* is tested to worked with Laravel 5.1.\*) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Add `larablocks/highway` as a requirement to `composer.json`: ``` { "require": { "larablocks/highway": "~0.1" } } ``` Update your packages with `composer update` or install with `composer install`. Laravel Integration ------------------- [](#laravel-integration) To wire this up in your Laravel project you need to add the service provider. Open `app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array. ``` Larablocks\Highway\HighwayServiceProvider::class, ``` Then you may add a Facade for more convenient usage. In your `app.php` config file add the following line to the `aliases` array. ``` 'Highway' => Larablocks\Highway\Highway::class, ``` Note: The Highway facade will load automatically, so you don't have to add it to the `app.php` file but you may still want to keep record of the alias. To publish the default config file `config/highway.php` use the artisan command: `php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Larablocks\Highway\HighwayServiceProvider"` Usage as a Facade ----------------- [](#usage-as-a-facade) ``` Highway:: ``` Format Readers -------------- [](#format-readers) Highway allows for you to read from one content format. First add the content format type and configuration for the format you would like Highway to read from. ``` Highway::addReader($type, $config_options[]) ``` #### CSV Reader [](#csv-reader) ``` $configs = [ 'file_path' => 'path_to_csv_file')] // required 'delimiter' => 'delimter string')] // optional, defaults to ',' 'enclosure' => 'enclosure string')] // optional, defaults to '"' ] Highway::addReader('csv', $configs) ``` #### Database Reader [](#database-reader) ``` $configs = [ 'table' => 'table_to_read_from')] // required 'results' => 'query builder results from table' // optional else returns all results from table Ex. 'results' => DB::table('users')->where('first_name', 'John')->get() ] Highway::addReader('database', $configs) ``` Format Writers -------------- [](#format-writers) Highway allows for you to write to multiple content formats. After you have set up your one reader you may include multiple writers. Add these content format types and their configurations. ``` Highway::addWriter($type, $config_options[]) ``` #### CSV Writer [](#csv-writer) ``` $configs = [ 'file_path' => 'path_to_csv_file')] // required 'delimiter' => 'delimter string')] // optional, defaults to ',' 'enclosure' => 'enclosure string')] // optional, defaults to '"' ] Highway::addWriter('csv', $configs) ``` #### Database Writer [](#database-writer) ``` $configs = [ 'table' => 'table_to_write_to')] // required ] Highway::addWriter('database', $configs) ``` Run the Process --------------- [](#run-the-process) Once at least one reader and writer have been added you may run the process of transferring the data. ``` Highway::run() ``` Examples -------- [](#examples) #### Single Writer Example [](#single-writer-example) ``` Highway::addReader('database', ['table' => 'users', 'results' => DB::table('users')->where('first_name', 'Devin')->get()]); Highway::addWriter('csv', ['file_path' => public_path('export/users.csv')]); Highway::run(); ``` #### Multiple Writer Example [](#multiple-writer-example) ``` Highway::addReader('database', ['table' => 'users']); Highway::addWriter('csv', ['file_path' => public_path('export/users.csv')]); Highway::addWriter('csv', ['file_path' => public_path('export/users-tab-delimited.csv'), 'delimiter' => "\t", 'enclosure' => "'"]); Highway::run(); ``` License ------- [](#license) Highway is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ### Health Score 22 — LowBetter than 21% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
