Integrates Laravel's Illuminate Database Component into the Electro framework

Illuminate Database Plugin

Integrates the Laravel's Illuminate Database Component into the Electro framework

Introdution

This plugin integrates with PhpKit\ExtPDO and the framework's database subsystem, so that connections defined on the framework's Connections service are automatically available as Illuminate Database connections.

Installation

Server Requirements

• PHP >= 5.6
• A fully-functional installation of the Electro framework
• Laravel's requirements

Installation

To install this plugin on your application, using the terminal, cd to your app's directory and type:

workman install plugin electro-modules/illuminate-database

For correct operation, do not install this package directly with Composer.

Using the plugin

First, start by injecting the plugin API into your controller (or component, command, migration, etc).

use Electro\Plugins\IlluminateDatabase\DatabaseAPI;

class MyController
{
  private $api;

  function __construct (DatabaseAPI $api) {
    $this->api = $api;
  }
}

Using the query builder

Example

$this->api->query()->from('products')->where('type','box')->get();

or simply

$this->api->table('products')->where('type','box')->get();

Using the schema builder

Example

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

$this->api->schema()->create ('news', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->increments ('id');
    $table->string ('title', 100);
});

Facades

This plugin also emulates some common database-related Laravel facades:

• DB::method() - equivalent to $api->connection ()->method()
• Schema::method() - equivalent to $api->schema()->method()

This way, you don't need to inject an API instance to call the query builder or the schema builder.

Note: being an anti-pattern, facades are not recommended for development with Electro.

Be sure to import the related namespaces before using the facades (do not use the original facades, it won't work).

• use Electro\Plugins\IlluminateDatabase\DB;
• use Electro\Plugins\IlluminateDatabase\Schema;

Using Eloquent

To use Eloquent, access your models as usual, but don't forget to base their classes on Electro\Plugins\IlluminateDatabase\BaseModel instead of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model.

Example

use Electro\Plugins\IlluminateDatabase\BaseModel;

class Article extends BaseModel { }

$article = Article::find(1);
