Activerecord
============

[](#activerecord)

Warning working on conforming to PSR-1 starting 5/11/2016 use Ver. 1.1

Instructions
------------

[](#instructions)

Uses Composer to manage autoload. In bootstrap file assuming root directory.

```
$loader = require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$loader->addPsr4('Models\\', __dir__.'\Models');
// What? Why? Composers base path is vendor and I don't want to update Composer for every new Model.

//Simple Config
$cfg = Activerecord\Config::instance();
$cfg->setConnections(array(
    'development' =>
    'mysql://root:root@localhost/treebark?charset=utf8'));
```

Model classes

```
namespace Models;

class Bar \\ for table name bars by convention
        extends \Activerecord\Model \\ leading slash required
{
}
```

Super Simple Usage Example:

```
$bars = Models\Bar::find(1)->to_array();
echo $bars['name'];
echo '';
$bars = Models\Bar::all();
foreach ($bars as $bar)
{
    echo ' id:';
    echo $bar->id;
    echo ' Name of Bar:';
    echo $bar->name;
    echo ' Address:';
    echo $bar->address;
    echo '';
}
```

The php-Activerecord.org instructions for use remain the same.
