Gobl
====

[](#gobl)

A PHP 8.1+ **Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL)** and **ORM** with code generation for MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Typed query builder: `QBSelect`, `QBInsert`, `QBUpdate`, `QBDelete` with safe PDO value binding
- Code generation: strongly-typed PHP entity, controller, query, and CRUD classes per table
- Event-driven CRUD: before/after hooks for every write operation via `*Crud` classes
- Multi-driver: one schema, three databases - MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite
- Migration engine: `Diff` between schema versions + `MigrationRunner`

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.1
- PDO extension with at least one of: `pdo_mysql`, `pdo_pgsql`, `pdo_sqlite`
