Installation

Using Composer

composer require fyre/orm

In PHP:

use Fyre\ORM\ModelRegistry;

Basic Usage

• $container is a Container.

$modelRegistry = new ModelRegistry($container);

Autoloading

It is recommended to bind the ModelRegistry to the Container as a singleton.

$container->singleton(ModelRegistry::class);

Any dependencies will be injected automatically when loading from the Container.

$modelRegistry = $container->use(ModelRegistry::class);

Methods

Add Namespace

Add a namespace for loading models.

• $namespace is a string representing the namespace.

$modelRegistry->addNamespace($namespace);

Build

Build a Model.

• $classAlias is a string representing the model class alias.

$model = $modelRegistry->build($classAlias);

Model dependencies will be resolved automatically from the Container.

Clear

Clear all namespaces and models.

$modelRegistry->clear();

Create Default Model

Create a default Model.

$model = $modelRegistry->createDefaultModel();

Model dependencies will be resolved automatically from the Container.

Get Default Model Class

$namespaces = $modelRegistry->getNamespaces();

Has Namespace

Determine whether a namespace exists.

$hasNamespace = $modelRegistry->hasNamespace($namespace);

Is Loaded

Determine whether a model is loaded.

• $alias is a string representing the model alias.

$isLoaded = $modelRegistry->isLoaded($alias);

Remove Namespace

Remove a namespace.

• $namespace is a string representing the namespace.

$modelRegistry->removeNamespace($namespace);

Set Default Model Class

Set the default model class name.

• $defaultModelClass is a string representing the default model class name.

$modelRegistry->setDefaultModelClass($defaultModelClass);

Unload

Unload a model.

• $alias is a string representing the model alias.

$modelRegistry->unload($alias);

Use

Load a shared Model instance.

• $alias is a string representing the model alias.
• $classAlias is a string representing the model class alias, and will default to the model alias.

Models

Custom models can be created by extending the \Fyre\ORM\Model class, suffixing the class name with "Model".

To allow autoloading an instance of your model, add the the namespace to the ModelRegistry.

Delete Query

Create a new DeleteQuery.

Models use ConnectionManager for database connections, and you can specify the connection to use by setting the connectionKeys property of your models, or using the setConnection method.

    self::WRITE => 'default',
    self::READ => 'read_replica'
];

If the self::READ key is omitted, it will fallback to the self::WRITE connection for database reads.
