Phormium Model Generator
========================

[](#phormium-model-generator)

Model class generator for [Phormium](https://github.com/ihabunek/phormium).

ModGen generates classes which extend Phormium\\Model from existing database tables. Currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Informix.

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

[](#installation)

### PHAR

[](#phar)

The simplest way to use ModGen is to download the latest version as a PHAR archive from the [releases page](https://github.com/ihabunek/phormium-modgen/releases) on GitHub.

You can now run ModGen:

```
php modgen.phar

```

This is abbreviated to `modgen` in the [usage examples](#usage).

### Packagist

[](#packagist)

You can also install from [Packagist](https://packagist.org/) using using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/).

Create a file called `composer.json` with the following contents:

```
{
    "require": {
        "phormium/modgen": "0.*"
    }
}
```

Download composer and run:

```
php composer.phar install

```

The script for running modgen will be `vendor/bin/modgen` for \*nix and Mac and `vendor\bin\modgen.bat` for Windows users. This is abbreviated to `modgen` in the [usage examples](#usage).

Creating the PHAR
-----------------

[](#creating-the-phar)

To compile ModGen into a PHAR, clone the project from GitHub:

```
git clone https://github.com/ihabunek/phormium-modgen.git

```

Install the dependencies using Composer:

```
php composer.phar install

```

Run the compilation script:

```
php bin\compile

```

`modgen.phar` will be generated in your working directory.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Before starting, you need to have a Phormium configuration file which defines the database from which you want to generate models. If a config file is not specified, modgen will look for a file named "config.json" in the working directory.

Generate models for all tables in a database:

```
modgen generate [options]

```

Generate models for specified tables in a database:

```
modgen generate [options]  [table1] ... [tableN]

```

Options:

- `--config` - Path to the config file. (default: "config.json")
- `--target` - Target folder where the model will be generated (defaults to current working directory)
- `--namespace` - The PHP namespace used for the model classes. (default: "")
- `--help (-h)` - Display the help message.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Generate models for all tables in `backoffice` database, using namespace `Foo\Bar`:

```
modgen generate --namespace=Foo\\Bar backoffice

```

Generate models for tables `person` and `invoice` in the `backoffice` database, without a namespace:

```
modgen generate backoffice person invoice

```
