[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a728161d2d5f44dd797ca7f4c0fe4b939eb8aea0137eee9ed2a138cd5fa4c73d/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f726f62636c616e63792f64622d636f6e6e6563746f722e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/robclancy/db-connector) The idea behind this is allowing the scheme builder to be used in projects that already have a database layer that uses `PDO`. All you need to use this is a `PDO` instance. If you create it manually you might want to consider using [http://github.com/robclancy/db-connector](robclancy/db-connector) which is another fork of [http://github.com/illuminate/database](illuminate/database) but to just connect to the database. With your PDO instance you create a `Robbo\SchemaBuilder\Connection` instance and then call `->getSchemaBuilder()` to get started. Then you use the builder as described in the \[[http://four.laravel.com/docs/schema\](Laravel](http://four.laravel.com/docs/schema](Laravel) docs) however substitute your instance for `Schema::`. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Add the following to the "require" section of your `composer.json` file: ``` "robclancy/schema-builder": "1.0.x" ``` Native example -------------- [](#native-example) Following example will assume you have a `PDO` instance stored in `$pdo`. ``` // Create the connection $connection = new Robbo\SchemaBuilder\Connection\MySqlConnection($pdo, 'database_name', 'tableprefix_'); // Alternatively you can use a factory method to create an instance depending on the driver // Drivers supported: mysql, pgsql, sqlite and sqlsrv $connection = Robbo\SchemaBuilder\Connection::create('mysql', $pdo, 'database_name', 'tableprefix_') $builder = $connection->getSchemaBuilder(); // Now you can use it like in the laravel docs... $builder->create('users', function($table) { $table->increments('id'); }); ``` Support for a dry run is also supported using the functionality from illuminate/database. Use it like so... ``` // $builder and $connection is the same from above $queries = $connection->pretend(function($connection) use ($builder) { // Could use $connection->getSchemaBuilder() here in place of $builder $builder->create('users', function($table) { $table->increments('id'); }); }); // Now $queries will contain all queries that were created ``` ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 37% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 78.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
