To get everything you need for a single database model you'll need around 10-15 files with a lot of boilerplate code. To make relations, queries, etc... forces you to have a lot of repositories to be provided searchresult helpers and more. Coming from a Laravel/OctoberCMS/WinterCMS background, this is not fun to code and maintain. Hence this library, which will aim to imitate the base Magento models but make them fluent. With Collections, easy relations, QueryBuilders etc... For documentation on how to make queries, queries on relations etc... I'd like to refer you to the [WinterCms documentation](https://wintercms.com/docs/database/basics) Only the database parts of the doucmentation are relevant, the CMS parts etc... are excluded from this library to keep the size small. ### Very minimal [](#very-minimal) I've striven to keep this library as minimal as possible, by only including the most basic functionality for working with everything you're used to, only focussed on the database aspects and utility items for working with the database in a fluent way. Keeping it lean(ish) because Magento is a beast already. This package installs 22 fresh dependencies in a basic Magento installation. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Preparing composer.json [](#preparing-composerjson) In your Magento project dir composer.json add this line in the `"require"` segment > The reason for this installation step is because laravel needs console 5.1.4, but magento uses console ~4.4. > We need to trick composer in accepting the lower version dependency By using the `as` composer gets tricked, and will install the modules This sadly only works in the main project json, and not in dependency jsons. > When using an alias a specific version is needed, feel free to update to a more Recent version when applicable. To get your symfony version for adding into the require statement use `composer show symfony/console | grep versions` *For Magento 2.4.2-p1* ``` "symfony/console": "4.4.29 as 5.1.4", ``` ### Summoning the storm [](#summoning-the-storm) In your Magento project dir run the following command from your shell ``` composer require tschallacka/mage-storm ^1.0 ``` ### Configuration [](#configuration) Default connections will be gleaned from app/etc/env.php and added to the eloquent connection manager under the names as they are defined there. If you wish to use other databases like postgres, sqlite, etc... define them under `['magestorm']['connections']`in env.php like WinterCms requires it. See for the [WinterCms documentation](https://wintercms.com/docs/database/basics) on the configuration values that are accepted. Do note that the connections you define under `['magestorm']` cannot be used by Magento, only by MageStorm/Storm Models. example: ``` return [ 'backend' => .... ... 'db' => [ 'table_prefix' => '', 'connection' => [ 'default' => [ 'host' => 'localhost', 'dbname' => 'magento', 'username' => 'magento', 'password' => 'magento-dev-password', 'model' => 'mysql4', 'engine' => 'innodb', 'initStatements' => 'SET NAMES utf8;', 'active' => '1', 'driver_options' => [ 1014 => false ] ] ] ], 'magestorm' => [ 'connections' => [ 'other_connection_name' => [ 'read' => [ 'host' => '192.168.1.1', ], 'write' => [ 'host' => '196.168.1.2' ], 'driver' => 'mysql', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '', 'charset' => 'utf8', 'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci', 'prefix' => '', ], 'sqlite_testing' => [ 'driver' => 'sqlite', 'database' => 'patho/to/testing-db.sqlite', 'prefix' => '', ], ] ], .... ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Commands [](#commands) ``` bin/magento storm:create:model [Module_Name] [ModelName] [Path(Default: "Models")] ``` Creates a new default blank Model file at `path/to/magento/app/code/Module/Name/Path/ModelName.php` with as database name a snake\_case version of ModelName The Path argument is optional. When omitted it will place the files in the Models directory within your module. Refer to [WinterCms documentation](https://wintercms.com/docs/database/basics) and all the other articles there under Database on how to work with the models if you are not familiar with Laravel / OctoberCms / WinterCMS. ### Table creation [](#table-creation) For table creation, instead of using migrations like Laravel / OctoberCMS / WinterCMS uses I recommend to use the [Declarative Schema of Magento](https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/extension-dev-guide/declarative-schema/db-schema.html). When using something else than a Magento Database you'll need to work your way around that by using migrations or other methods to update your database schemas. ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 35% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
