Potato ORM
==========

[](#potato-orm)

Potato ORM is a very simple agnostic ORM that can perform the basic CRUD database operations. It is an implementation of the Checkpoint 2 requirement for PHP developers at Andela.

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

[](#installation)

Require via composer like so:

```
    composer require pyjac/orm

```

Supported database engines
==========================

[](#supported-database-engines)

```
1. MySQL
2. Postgres
3. SQLite

```

You also need set your environment variables to define your database parameters or create a `.env` file in your project.

```
DRIVER   = sqlite
HOSTNAME = 127.0.0.1
USERNAME = pyjac
PASSWORD = pyjac
DBNAME   = potatoORM
PORT     = 54320

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Models that needs to perform CRUD operations on the database need to extend the `Pyjac\ORM\Model` class. For example:

```
use Pyjac\ORM\Model;

class User extends Model
{

}
```

### Table Names

[](#table-names)

Note that we did not specify which table to use for our `User` model. The plural name of the class will be unless another name is explicitly specified. So, in this case, PotatoORM will assume the `User` model stores records in the users table. You may specify a custom table by defining a table property on your model:

```
use Pyjac\ORM\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    /**
     * The table associated with the model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $table = 'users';
}
```

**To create a new instance of the User class, you do:**

```
$user = new User();
```

**To create a new record in the database, you do:**

```
$user = new User();
$user->name = "Pyjac";
$user->age = 200;
$user->save();
```

`(Note) The above assumes you've created a table named users with columns id, name and age in the database.`

**To fetch all the Model of the class from the database, you do:**

```
$users = User::getAll();
var_dump($users);
```

**To find a Model with a specific id in the database, you do:**

```
$user = User::find(3);
```

**To delete a Model from the database, you do:**

```
$user = User::destroy(1);
```

**Updating an existing Model in the database:**

```
$user = User::find(1);
$user->name = "Nandaa";
$user->save();
```

`NB: The save() method checks first to see if the id exists. if yes, it calls the update method else calls the create method`

### Exceptions

[](#exceptions)

- `DatabaseDriverNotSupportedException`: This exception is thrown when database driver in not supported.
- `ModelNotFoundException`: This exception is thrown when model the find method is trying to get from the database does not exist.
