About DB
========

[](#about-db)

Database access with so called DB Objects (descendants of class DBObject) that mirror data table structure to your project

DB - making DB connection
-------------------------

[](#db---making-db-connection)

There is an example class DBChildObjectExample that is a descendant of DBObject. Before using DBObject descendant you have to open DB connection with and make some stuff:

```
    DB::connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name, $db_prefix='', $db_encoding='utf8mb4');
    DB::setClassNamespace("\\your\\namespace\\");   /* use \\ at the begining and the end of namespace */
    DB::checkDataStructure("yourClassOne, yourClassTwo, andSoOn", true);

```

After that you can access a table with your DBObject descendant.

DBObject - accessing data
-------------------------

[](#dbobject---accessing-data)

Some useful operations:

```
    // Creating record:

    $new = new DBChildObjectExample();
    $new->name = "test";
    $new->description = "A test record";
    $new->write();
    $new_record_id = $new->id;

    // Accessing record:

    $existing = new DBChildObjectExample("id = ?", $new_record_id);

    if ($existing->isNew()) {

        throw new \Exception('Object not found');

    } else {
        // Modify object:

        $existing->description = 'New description';
        $existing->write();
    }

```

Special stuff
-------------

[](#special-stuff)

If you need some special processing (like checking or filling data) you may override DBObject::fetch(...) and DBObject::write() methods.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- добавить параметр формата к DBObject->asString();

Using with AI
-------------

[](#using-with-ai)

PROMPT.md contains the description of the lib for AI-agents. Copy its content to agent's prompt and ask it to help you in developing your app.

Epilogue
--------

[](#epilogue)

That's it. Have fun.
