Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This library allows you to nest database transactions over dibi connection.

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

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require lightools/transaction-nesting
```

Simple usage
------------

[](#simple-usage)

TransactionManager will begin/commit/rollback database transaction only if there is no other transaction running. So if you try to start new transaction when some transaction is active, it will not fail with error `There is already an active transaction`. This means you can nest transactions safely and TransactionManager will make sure that only the outer transaction will be performed.

```
$dibi = new Dibi\Connection($config);
$manager = new Lightools\TransactionNesting\TransactionManager($dibi);

$manager->transactional(function () {
    // your logic
});
```

Of course, this will break if you perform some query causing implicit commit (for example ALTER TABLE on MySQL).

How to run tests
----------------

[](#how-to-run-tests)

```
$ vendor/bin/tester -c tests/php.ini -d extension_dir=ext tests
```
