Usage

[](#usage)

### DB.php

[](#dbphp)

The main `\Models\DB` class is a PDO wrapper used to make CRUD much easier. It is a forked code from the [php-pdo-wrapper-class](https://github.com/lonalore/php-pdo-wrapper-class)

```
// connect to your database. Store the $db instance globally -- you only need to connect to your db ONCE!
$db = new \Models\DB(DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
```

Available **CRUD** methods

- `$db->insert($sql, $binds)` or `$db->insert($table, $values)`
- `$db->select($sql, $binds)`
- `$db->row($sql, $binds)` (same with `select` but will return single row)
- `$db->update($sql, $binds)` or `$db->update('table', $values)`
- `$db->delete($sql, $binds)` or `$db->delete('table', $filters)`

The default style is `PDO::FETCH_OBJ`

Example:

```
$users = $db->select("SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = 1 AND username = :username", array('username' => 'lodev09'));
var_dump($users);
```

### Model.php

[](#modelphp)

The `\Models\Model` class is a parent class that can be inherited to a **Model** class. Inheriting this class allows you to automatically map the result "row" into your model class (table). This class basically uses the `PDO::FETC_INTO` style and made it easier for you. Here are the steps to link your table into a class:

1. Initiate the `\Models\DB` instance (see above)

```
$db = new \Models\DB(DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
\Models\Model::setDb($db);
```

2. Create your model class. For example, a `User.php` class

```
namespace Models;

class User extends Model {
    public function getName() {
        return $this->name;
    }
}
```

3. Register your table to your custom class

```
// somewhere in your init.php
\Models\User::register('users');
```

Now, you can directly get the `User` instance from a query. Example:

```
$user = \Models\User::row("SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE id = 1 AND active = 1");
// you can call the getName() method now
if ($user) {
    $name = $user->getName();
    echo 'His name is '.$name;
}
```
