This is a project implementing the Factory Design Pattern to enable faster interaction with a mysql database, when executing simple CRUD queries.
Found the need to built this tool when, as students, we needed to interact with a huge database for a Java project back in 2010. I've since switched over to web development and translated it into php.
None needed, just copy this folder into your lib / vendor directory, or wherever you see fit. Import and use :D.
These classes depend on your database following this convention:
- every table has an
_idfield as it's first field which has the data type int and named like:{table_name}_id, so if you have a table calledtaxi, the first field in that table should betaxi_id - the last field in every table has a boolean field named
hidewith a default value of0. This makes sure that, by default we always soft delete records. - of course all the
_idfields are used as primary keys and auto increment should be on by default.
Note: I am planning on making the base class configurable, but it isn't for now, so you'll have to set your database details in the base class manually. See connector/connect.php
Depending on which query you're going to run, you'll construct an object of the same class ie: Delete, Insert, Update or HideRecord
This is not really for public consumption yet, though you can use it (at your own risk) hahaha.
I am planning on simplifying usage of this library so only one object needs to be used ie: the DatabaseAccessor class, which: if you take a proper look at it, you'll see it's still incomplete.
I'm also thinking of a way to implement complex queries, using indices for scalability etc. Please share any ideas and you'll be able to fork soon :D
