[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a728161d2d5f44dd797ca7f4c0fe4b939eb8aea0137eee9ed2a138cd5fa4c73d/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f726f62636c616e63792f64622d636f6e6e6563746f722e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/robclancy/db-connector) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Add the following to the "require" section of your `composer.json` file: ``` "robclancy/db-connector": "1.0.x" ``` Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) You will need a config array, the following shows what can be used... ``` $config = array( 'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS, // SQLite 'database' => __DIR__.'/../database/production.sqlite', 'prefix' => '', // MySQL 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', // Postgres SQL 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'prefix' => '', 'schema' => 'public', // SQL Server 'driver' => 'sqlsrv', 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'prefix' => '', ); ``` And then to make your connection... ``` $connector = new Robbo\DbConnector\MysqlConnector; $pdo = $connector->connect($config); ``` To make things a little easier and more flexible for applications that support multiple database types you can use a factory method to connect. The config stays the same however you add a driver as well. For example... ``` $config = array( 'driver' => 'mysql', // For other types this is 'pgsql', 'sqlite' or 'sqlsrv' 'host' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', ); ``` Then use the factor like so... ``` $connector = Robbo\DbConnector\Connector::create($config); // Instance of Robbo/DbConnector/MySqlConnector $pdo = $connector->connect($config); // You can also have the factory connect for you by passing true as the second parameter, so... $pdo = Robbo\DbConnector\Connector::create($config, true); ``` ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity12 Limited adoption so far Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 79% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
