Scheezy
=======

[](#scheezy)

A PHP 5.3+ library to translate yaml schema definitions into real, actual databases. You could view this as an intentional anti-pattern to database migration techniques. For when you don't want to migrate up and down, just dictate the database schema.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7b3bc099a83be26f1075d016c88c5ef3bdc74e6a3bb752dc27bec040733851f0/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d696b656a65737465732f73636865657a792e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/mikejestes/scheezy)

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

[](#installation)

Add to your `composer.json` file:

```
    {
        "require": {
            "mikejestes/scheezy": "*"
        },

        ...
    }
```

Then download and run [composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

```

Schema Definition Syntax
------------------------

[](#schema-definition-syntax)

```
table: store
columns:
    id:
    name:
        type: string
        length: 80
    email:
        index: unique
    active:
        type: boolean
        allow_null: true
    user_count:
        type: integer
        index: true
    website:
    created:
        type: datetime
    updated:
        type: timestamp
    calendar:
        type: date
    paragraph:
        type: text
    price:
        type: decimal
    latitude:
        type: decimal
        precision: 9
        scale: 6
    status:
        type: enum
        values:
            - approved
            - disabled
            - draft
```

A column defaults to string type, unless the name is `id` which is given an integer type, a primary key, and auto\_increment.

Database engines
----------------

[](#database-engines)

Currently supports mysql through PDO classes.

API
---

[](#api)

Load a directory of `.yaml` files

```
$pdoHandle = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=scheezy_test", 'root', '');

$schema = new \Scheezy\Schema($pdoHandle);
$schema->loadDirectory(dirname(__FILE__) . '/schemas/');
$schema->synchronize();
```

Load a single `.yaml` file

```
$schema = new \Scheezy\Schema($pdoHandle);
$schema->loadFile('/path/to/ponys.yaml');
$schema->synchronize();
```
