📝 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

There is a saying;

> Do not re-invent the wheel.

Therefore we've created a collection of all the methods we use in almost every project. We've also added some very cool ones which automatically throws an exception if a record could not be found and some other quite neat things.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

To install this package you will need:

- Laravel 5.1+
- PHP 5.5.9+

You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project.

```
"require": {
    "nodes/database": "^1.0"
}
```

Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal.

```
composer require nodes/database:^1.0
```

⚙ Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

Create a new class and make it extend `Nodes\Database\Eloquent\Repository`.

At a later time, we'll create a more in-depth documentation of each method in the repository, but for now, we'll recommend you to look through the source and read the DocBlock for each method.

Check out all the available methods in the [src/Eloquent/Repository.php](https://github.com/nodes-php/database/blob/master/src/Eloquent/Repository.php) file.

### Global methods

[](#global-methods)

```
function render_sql(\Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder $query)
```
