==================

[](#semperton-database)

A compact PDO / SQLite wrapper library.

---

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

[](#installation)

Just use Composer:

```
composer require semperton/database

```

Database requires PHP 7.4+

Connection
----------

[](#connection)

The `PDOConnection` class is a `PDO` wrapper. Its constructor accepts the same parameters as the `PDO` constructor.

```
use Semperton\Database\Connection\PDOConnection;

$connection = new PDOConnection('dsn', null, null, [
	PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
]);
```

The internal PDO object is lazily created, when you make the first database call. You can pass a `callable` as the 5th argument to the `PDOConnection` constructor that gets called, when PDO first initializes.

Interface
---------

[](#interface)

```
interface ConnectionInterface
{
	public function execute(string $sql, ?array $params = null): bool;
	public function fetchRow(string $sql, ?array $params = null): ?array;
	public function fetchColumn(string $sql, ?array $params = null, int $column = 0): Generator;
	public function fetchAll(string $sql, ?array $params = null): Generator;
	public function fetchResult(string $sql, ?array $params = null): ResultSetInterface;
	public function fetchValue(string $sql, ?array $params = null);
	public function inTransaction(): bool;
	public function beginTransaction(): bool;
	public function commit(): bool;
	public function rollBack(): bool;
	public function lastInsertId(): int;
	public function affectedRows(): int;
}
```

ResultSet
---------

[](#resultset)

The `ResultSet` class is a wrapper around `PDOStatement::execute` and `PDOStatement::fetch` calls. It's an `Iterator` with additional `first()`, `count()` and `toArray()` methods.

```
$users = $connection->fetchAll('select * from user limit :limit', ['limit' => 5]);

$firstUser = $users->first();

foreach($users as $user){
	// ...
}

$userCount = $users->count();
$userArray = $users->toArray();
```
