First ensure the PHP version is greater or equal to 7
To include the library in an existing project using composer
composer require murage/sqlddl
or in composer.json add as dependency
"murage/sqlddl" : "^2.1.0"
This library is dependent on PHP dotenv and requires .env file at root of the project (env file does not have file name only extension .env; an example is provided). To get started include the following ENV variables to be able to get started (change as per your database connection)
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=mydatabase
DB_USERNAME=secret
DB_PASSWORD=secret
where
DB_NAME=your database name
DB_USERNAME=your database username
DB_PASSWORD=your database password
The library utilizes nesting of functions, and does not require instantiating the Builder class. Start each query using :-
Builder::table( "provide the table name here")
Every query returns a json encoded response in format
{ "status": "either error or success",
"response : "the response from the server",
"code":"response code"
}
The code depends on the query being executed but on successful query, a code of 200 is returned. Where data is being fetched from the database, an array of records is returned in the response body e.g. :
{"status":success;
"response":
[
{"id":5, "colum1":"valueX"},
{"id":6, "colum1":"valueK"}
],
"code":200
}
Other response codes are here. All queries that normally do not fetch any value from the database on successful execution will return
{"status":success;
"response": "success",
"code":200
}
To perform a basic select from table test
Builder::table('test')
->get();
or to just select everything in the table
Builder::table('test')
->all();
To select only fifty records
Builder::table('test')
->get(50);
To select only 3 columns
Builder::table('test)
->select('column1','column2','column3')
->get()
To select column1 but alias as name
Builder::table('test)
->select('column1 as name','column2','column3')
->get()
To select using where condition
- where column1 equals numbers
Builder::table ('test')
->where('column1','=','numbers')
->get()
-
or this can be simplified as
Builder::table ('test') ->where('column1','numbers') ->get()
allowed conditions include for where clause include
< , > , <> , != , <= , >= , =, IS, IS NOT, <=>
To perform an insert
Builder::table('test)
->insert('data1','data2','data3')
->into('column1','column2','column3')
To truncate table test
Builder::table('test')
->truncate();
To drop table test
Builder::table('test')
->drop();
