laraquent

An out of Laravel Eloquent 5.1 extended use, and as a provider to different microframeworks.

Usage

Install through composer

composer require offworks/laraquent

Prepare the eloquent capsule using it's very own documentation https://github.com/illuminate/database

Active schema migration

table() method may now be used to listen to existing database, to perform either create or alter table, it will make changes to database accordingly.

• create table if the table doesn't exist.
• add column for existing table and skip exception if table doesn't exist
• does not drop table
• does not drop column

$connection = $capsule->getConnection();

$connection->useDefaultSchemaGrammar();

$schema = new \Laraquent\Schema($connection);

$schema->table('Book', function($table) {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('title');
    $table->string('isbn');
    $table->timestamps();
});

Prefixed relation method

Relation method now is to be prefixed with 'relate'. Example :

class Article extends \Laraquent\Base
{
    public function relateAuthor()
    {
        return $this->hasOne('\App\Entity\Author', 'author_id');
    }
}

As a service provider

Provide as a service to different microframeworks

\Exedra

Basically the provider will instatiate the eloquent capsule, and register a service with name 'eloquent'.

$app->config->set('db', array(
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'name' => 'my_db',
    'user' => 'root',
    'password' => 'password'
));

$app->provider->add(\Laraquent\Support\Exedra\Provider::class);

Active schema migration

• Add a model:migrate console command, and will look for {root}/database/schema.php
  • or configure db.schema_path (relative to root)

$app->config->set('db.schema_path', 'database/schema.php');

database/schema.php file will be loaded, with an extracted $schema variable.

$schema->table('Author', function() {
    $table->increments('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->timestamps();
});

Command use (assuming console access name is 'wizard') :

php wizard model:migrate

Special thanks

Special thanks to Taylor Otwell, and Laravel communities for making an awesome framework, and for making it possible to use eloquent outside of larevel.
