SimplePHPActiveRecord
=====================

[](#simplephpactiverecord)

Extension of PHP ActiveRecord (phpactiverecord.org) with automatically generated validators.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require vitalyspirin/simplephpactiverecord

```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
class T1 extends \vitalyspirin\simplephpactiverecord\SimpleActiveRecord
{
    public static $validates_presence_of = [];
    public static $validates_size_of = [];
    public static $validates_numericality_of = [];
    public static $validates_uniqueness_of = [];
    public static $validates_inclusion_of = [];
    public static $validates_format_of = [];
}
```

There is no need to hardcode validators since they will be added automatically by class constructor based on table schema. However in current version relations (based on foreign keys) will not be added.

Static properties (validators) have to be added to every child model extending SimpleActiveRecord class because in PHP it's impossible to create static properties dynamically.

Instance of such class is created in a usual way:

```
$t1 = new T1();
```

If table schema changed then validators will be adjusted automatically.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Let's say we have the following SQL schema:

```
CREATE TABLE person
(
  person_id         INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
  person_firstname  VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL,
  person_lastname   VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL,
  person_gender     ENUM('male', 'female'),
  person_dob        DATE NULL,
  person_salary     DECIMAL UNSIGNED
);
```

then if we run the following code:

```
class Person extends \vitalyspirin\simplephpactiverecord\SimpleActiveRecord
{
    static $table_name = 'person';

    public static $validates_presence_of = [];
    public static $validates_size_of = [];
    public static $validates_numericality_of = [];
    public static $validates_uniqueness_of = [];
    public static $validates_inclusion_of = [];
    public static $validates_format_of = [];
}

$person = new Person();

echo "validates_presence_of:";
var_dump($person::$validates_presence_of);

echo "validates_size_of:";
var_dump($person::$validates_size_of);

echo "validates_numericality_of:";
var_dump($person::$validates_numericality_of);

echo "validates_inclusion_of:";
var_dump($person::$validates_inclusion_of);
```

we will get the following output:

```
validates_presence_of:array(2) {
  [0] =>
  array(1) {
    [0] =>
    string(16) "person_firstname"
  }
  [1] =>
  array(1) {
    [0] =>
    string(15) "person_lastname"
  }
}
validates_size_of:array(2) {
  [0] =>
  array(2) {
    [0] =>
    string(16) "person_firstname"
    'maximum' =>
    int(35)
  }
  [1] =>
  array(2) {
    [0] =>
    string(15) "person_lastname"
    'maximum' =>
    int(35)
  }
}
validates_numericality_of:array(1) {
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    [0] =>
    string(13) "person_salary"
    'greater_than_or_equal_to' =>
    int(0)
    'allow_null' =>
    bool(true)
  }
}
validates_inclusion_of:array(1) {
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    [0] =>
    string(13) "person_gender"
    'in' =>
    array(2) {
      [0] =>
      string(4) "male"
      [1] =>
      string(6) "female"
    }
    'allow_null' =>
    bool(true)
  }
}

```
