Eloquent for MODX 3
-------------------

[](#eloquent-for-modx-3)

> This extra is part of **MMX** initiative - the **M**odern **M**OD**X** approach.

### Prepare

[](#prepare)

This package can be installed only with Composer.

If you are still not using Composer with MODX 3, just download the `composer.json` of your version:

```
cd /to/modx/root/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modxcms/revolution/v3.0.4-pl/composer.json
```

Then run `composer update --no-dev` and you are ready to install the **mmx** packages.

### Install

[](#install)

```
composer require mmx/database --update-no-dev
composer exec mmx-database install
```

### Remove

[](#remove)

```
composer exec mmx-database remove
composer remove mmx/database
```

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

`mmxDatabase` service will be registered globally, so you can use its models anywhere in your PHP code inside MODX.

Get all published resources with Template and TV values.

```
$resources = \MMX\Database\Models\Resource::query()
    ->with('Template:id,templatename')
    ->with('TvValues')
    ->where('published', true)
    ->get();
foreach ($resources as $resource) {
    print_r($resource->toArray());
}
```

Get categories with relations:

```
$categories = \MMX\Database\Models\Category::query()
    ->with('Templates')
    ->with('Plugins')
    ->with('Snippets')
    ->with('Chunks')
    ->with('Tvs')
    ->get();
foreach ($categories as $category) {
    print_r($category->toArray());
}
```

You can see all currently available models with their relations in [Models](https://github.com/bezumkin/mmx-database/tree/main/core/src/Models) directory.

Do not forget to read the official [Eloquent documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent).

### Nota bene!

[](#nota-bene)

mmxDatabase models are not contain any MODX related logic, like clearing cache or calling plugin events.

This is just a convenient way to work with MODX database directly, without xPDO.

Project is still under development, do not hesitate to use [issues](https://github.com/bezumkin/mmx-database/issues) if you have any.
