This is an Entity Framework for PHP based on MySQL.

Installation

Using composer is quite simple, just run the following command:

$ composer require thomas-squall/efxphp

Prerequisites

Before using this library you should make sure to have installed PHP7.1 or major.

Usage

At first, you need to connect to the database.

The parameter to pass are:

• $host = The URL to the server where the database is running (localhost for local databases)
• $username = The username to login into MySQL
• $password = The password to login into MySQL
• $database = The database name to connect to

For more information see the link: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

This is how you instantiate a new Adapter:

use EFxPHP\Adapter;

// Enstablish a connection.
$adapter = new Adapter();
$adapter->connect($host, $username, $password, $database);

Now you have to create a model

/**
 * @Model(name = "people")
 */
class person {
    /**
     * @Type(type = "varchar", length = 16)
     * @var string $name
     */
    public $name;

    /**
     * @Type(type = "int")
     * @var int $age
     */
    public $age;

    /**
     * @Type(type = "varchar", length = 10)
     * @Default(value = "italian")
     * @var string $nationality
     */
    public $nationality;
}

And register it

$db->registerModel(new person());

If you want to create/update your tables automatically based on your model, pass true as second parameter in the registerModel method

/*
 * Note that this will:
 * 1. Create the table if it does not exist
 * 2. Add new columns if you added new parameters to the model
 * 3. Remove unused columns if you deleted parameters from the model
 *
 * Specially for point 3, use it with care.
*/
$db->registerModel(new person(), true);

Find

Once connected to the database we can simply query for the collection we want:

$items = $adapter->find('people');

You can also filter your query:

use MongDriver\Filter;

$filters =
[
    new Filter('age', 29, Filter::IS_EQUALS),
    new Filter('nationality', ['italian', 'spanish'], Filters::IS_IN_ARRAY)
];

$items = $adapter->find('people', $filters);

Insert

If you want to insert an item you have simply to pass an instance of a registered model:

$item = new Person();
$item->name = 'Thomas';
$item->surname = 'Cocchiara');

$adapter->insert($item);

Hope you guys find this library useful.

Please share it and give me a feedback :)
