Respect\\Data allows you to use multiple, cooperative database mapping with a single solid API. You can even mix out MySQL and MongoDB databases in a single model.

**This project is a work in progress**

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

[](#installation)

The package is available on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/respect/data). You can install it using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require respect/data
```

PSR-0 and PSR-2 compatible.

Collections
-----------

[](#collections)

The main component for Respect\\Data are Collections. They define how data is grouped in your application.

In the example below, we're declaring two collections for dealing with a news portal:

```
$articles = Collection::article();
$authors = Collection::article()->author();
```

Backends
--------

[](#backends)

Currently, Respect\\Data has two planned backend implementations: Respect\\Relational for relational databases like MySQL and SQLite and Respect\\Structural for MongoDB databases. These are different mappers that use the Respect\\Data model.

Below is a sample of how to retrieve all authors from the author 5:

```
$mapper->article->author[5]->fetchAll();
```

- On the Relational backend, Respect would automatically build a query similar to `SELECT * FROM article INNER JOIN author ON article.author_id = author.id WHERE author.id = 5`.
- On the Structural backend for MongoDB, the generated internal query would be something like `db.article.find({"author.id":5}, {"author":1});`.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Besides fetching data from databases, Respect\\Data is expected to deal with several other scenarios:

- Persisting data into collections
- Using backend-native extra commands in queries
- Declaring shortcuts for large collection declarations
- Handling composite mapper backends
