Concept

Entities

An entity object is an in-memory representations of a database entity. Entity object are plain objects (aka POPO). It is recommended to use accessors (getters) and mutators (setters) for properties on plain objects.

Provider

The provider is a link between independent data entity and data access. The provider is also able to hydrate data to entity object and extract data from entity object.

Definition

Definition managing entity meta and schema specific configuration. Definition could be passed to mapper or provider, instead of an entity.

Mappers

Each entity does have it's own mapper. A mapper is determined by the entity provider. Mappers mediate between dbal and entity and provide convenient CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete). In addition to CRUD, the mapper is also delivering convenient methods to to work with relations.

Query

The query acts as accessor to the persistence layer. The query class is hydrating data on execution and transforms the result into a single entity class or \ArrayObject as fallback, a collection of entity classes as \SplStack or as a raw data array. Furthermore the query is able to receive hydration options to control the result. Create, delete and update are always returning a numeric value!

Repository

The repository is mediating between persistence layer and abstract from persistence or data access through mapper or query. Blast orm is just delivering a Blast\Orm\RepositoryInterface for completion!

Usage

Connections

Blast ORM is managing all connections with \Blast\Orm\ConnectionManager. You are able to create connections directly or add connections to manager cache and access them later on.

Direct access

Create a new connection

<?php

use Blast\Orm\ConnectionManager;

$connection = ConnectionManager::create('mysql://root:root@localhost/defaultdb?charset=UTF-8');

Stored and named connections

Connection manager

The connection manager stores all connection in it's own cache by name.

In some cases you would like to use a new connection manager instance, e.g. in a separate container.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\ConnectionManager;

$connections = new ConnectionManager();

Work with connections

Add a connection. If second parameter name is not set, name is default.

<?php

$connections->add('mysql://root:root@localhost/defaultdb?charset=UTF-8', 'myconnectionname');

Get connection, default connection name is always default

<?php

//get default connection
$defaultConnection = $connections->get();

//get connection by name
$anotherConnection = $connections->get('another');

Swap default connection with another connection.

<?php
$connections->setDefaultConnection('another');

Query

The query object is is providing high level API methods of doctrine 2 query builder.

Create query from connection

<?php

$query = $connection->createQuery();

with entity

<?php

$query = $connection->createQuery(Post::class);

with definition

<?php

$query = $connection->createQuery($definition);

Create a new query instance, the query is automatically determining current active connection from connection manager.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query;

$query = new Query();

or create a new query with a custom connection

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query;
use Blast\Orm\ConnectionManager;

$query = new Query(ConnectionManager::create('mysql://root:root@localhost/acme'));

or create a new query for an entity

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query;

$query = new Query(null, Post::class);

Custom connection for the query

<?php

use Blast\Orm\ConnectionManager;

$query->setConnection(ConnectionManager::create('mysql://root:root@localhost/acme'));

Custom query builder

<?php

$query->setBuilder($connection->createQueryBuilder());

select

Get all posts as collection \SplStack containing post as \ArrayObject

<?php

$result = $query->select()->from('post', 'p')->execute();

//get data from result
$title = $result['title'];
$content = $result['content'];

Get post by id as \ArrayObject

<?php

$id = 1;
$results = $query->select()
    ->from('post', 'p')
    ->where('id = :id')
    ->setParameter('id', $id)
    ->execute();

//loop results and get data 
foreach($results as $result){
    $title = $result['title'];
    $content = $result['content'];
}

create

Create a new entry and get number of affected rows

<?php

$affectedRows = $query->insert('post')
    ->setValue('title', 'New Blog post')
    ->setValue('content', 'some blog content')
    ->execute();

update

Update an entry and get number of affected rows

<?php

$affectedRows = $query->update('post')
    ->set('title', 'New Blog post')
    ->where('id = :id')
    ->setParameter('id', 1)
    ->execute();

delete

Delete entries and get number of affected rows

<?php

$affectedRows = $query->delete('post')
    ->where('id = :id')
    ->setParameter('id', 1)
    ->execute();

Advanced execution for select

Execute query and get result as entity

<?php

$post = $query->execute(\Blast\Orm\Hydrator\HydratorInterface::HYDRATE_ENTITY);

Execute query and get result as collection

<?php

$posts = $query->execute(\Blast\Orm\Hydrator\HydratorInterface::HYDRATE_COLLECTION);

Execute query and get raw result as array

<?php

$result = $query->execute(\Blast\Orm\Hydrator\HydratorInterface::HYDRATE_RAW);

Events

Query is able to execute events for each statement type.

select
insert
update
delete

build.{type}

Fire this event before query executes statement.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query\Events\QueryBuilderEvent;

$query->getEmitter()->addListener('build.select', function (QueryBuilderEvent $event) {
    $event->getBuilder()->setEntity(Post::class);
});

$result = $query->select()->from('post')->where('id = 1')->execute();

result.{type}

Fire this event after query executes statement and receives result.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query\Events\QueryResultEvent;
use Blast\Orm\Query;

$query->getEmitter()->addListener('result.select', function (QueryResultEvent $event, Query $builder) {
    $result = $event->getResult();

    foreach ($result as $key => $value) {
        $result[$key]['contentSize'] = strlen($value['content']);
    }

    $event->setResult($result);
});

$result = $query->select()->from('post')->where('id = 1')->execute();

Canceling query execution

Use setCancel() method from given event to cancel a query execution.

On build a query statement

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Query\Events\QueryBuilderEvent;

$query->getEmitter()->addListener('build.select', function (QueryBuilderEvent $event) {
    $event->setCanceled(true);
});

On result a query statement

<?php
use Blast\Orm\Query\Events\QueryResultEvent;
use Blast\Orm\Query;

$query->getEmitter()->addListener('result.select', function (QueryResultEvent $event) {
    $event->setCanceled(true);
});

Entities

Entity classes are independent of Blast ORM. Entity fields are translated to underscore for database field mapping. Database fields are translated to camelcase for entity field mapping.

<?php

class Post
{

}

Definition

In addition to auto-suggest definition from provider, it is also possible to use definition instead of entity.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Entity\Definition;
use Blast\Orm\Mapper;
use Blast\Orm\Query;

$definition = new Definition();
$definition->setConfiguration([
    'tableName' => 'user_role'
]);

//from mapper
$mapper = new Mapper($definition);

//from query
$query = new Query($connection, $definition);

A list of possible configuration

<?php

$configuration = [
        'entity' => \ArrayObject::class,
        'entityCollection' => \SplStack::class,
        'events' => [],
        'fields' => [],
        'indexes' => [],
        'primaryKeyName' => ProviderInterface::DEFAULT_PRIMARY_KEY_NAME,
        'tableName' => '',
        'mapper' => Mapper::class,
        'relations' => []
    ];
$definition->setConfiguration($configuration);

A definition could also be declared on an entity as FQCN by property

<?php

class Post
{
    public static $definition = '\Acme\Domain\Entities\Definition\PostDefinition';
}

or by method.

<?php

class Post
{
    public static function definition(){
        return '\Acme\Domain\Entities\Definition\PostDefinition';
    }
}

Mention you could also pass an definition object instead of a FQCN.

<?php

class Post
{
    public static function definition(){
        return new PostDefinition;
    }
}

Provider

Providers are used to determine the entity definition and hydrate data to entity and vice versa. You could pass an object, class name or table name to provider.

If the entity class does not have a definition. the definition is determined automatically by the provider. Definitions are represented by static entity methods and / or properties.

Use providers to access tables without creating a entity class. This is useful for accessing junction tables or temporary tables.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Entity\Provider;

// add an entity as class name
$provider = new Provider(Post::class);

// add an entity as object
$provider = new Provider(Post::class);

// add an entity as table name
// entity object is an array object
$provider = new Provider('user_roles');

Add definition to entity as public static property or method. Method name refers to configuration key, mentioned above.

Table name

Return table name as string

Default: class name without namespace, camelcase converts to underscores e.g. App\Entities\Post will have post as table name.
Static method: or YourEntity::table()
Static property: YourEntity::$table

<?php

class Post
{

    /**
     * Get table name
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public static $tableName = 'post';
}

Primary key name

Return primary key name as string

Default: id
Static method: Entity::primaryKeyName()
Static property: YourEntity::$primaryKeyName

<?php

class Post
{

    /**
     * Get primary key name
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public static $primaryKeyName = 'id';
    
}

Mapper

Return mapper class name as string or a instance of Blast\Orm\MapperInterface

Default: An instance of Blast\Orm\Mapper
Static method: Entity::mapper()
Static property: YourEntity::$mapper

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Mapper;

class Post
{

    /**
     * Get mapper for entity
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public static $mapper = Mapper::class;
}

Relations

Return relations as array containing instance of Blast\Orm\Relations\RelationInterface.

Default: []
Static method: Entity::relations()

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Mapper;

class Post
{

    /**
     * Get mapper for entity
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public static function relations(EntityWithRelation $entity,  Mapper $mapper){
        return [
            $mapper->hasOne($entity, 'otherTable')
        ];
    }
}

Access definition from provider

Adapters grant access to data and definition, even if your entity class does not have definitions at all.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Entity\Provider;

$post = new Post;

$postProvider = new Provider(Post::class);

Get table name

<?php
$tableName = $postProvider->getTableName();

Get primary key name

<?php
$primaryKeyName = $postProvider->getPrimaryKeyName();

Get entities mapper

<?php
$mapper = $postProvider->getMapper();

Get entities relation

<?php
$mapper = $postProvider->getRelations();

Hydrate data as array to entity

<?php
$entity = $postProvider->hydrate(['title' => 'Hello World']);

Hydrate data as entity to array

<?php
$data = $postProvider->extract();

Mapper

The mapper prepares queries for data persistence and access of a provided entity class. All methods always return a query instance and need to execute manually. It is also possible to add event listeners for query

Create a new mapper for entity

Get entity specific mapper from connection

<?php

$mapper = $connection->getMapper($post);

Get entity specific mapper from provider

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Entity\Provider;

$provider = new Provider($post);
$mapper = $provider->getDefinition()->getMapper();

find

Fetch one entry by primary key

<?php

$post = $mapper->find(1)->execute();

select

Custom select query

<?php

$post = $mapper->select()
            ->where('title = "Hello world"')
            ->setMaxResults(1)
            ->execute(EntityHydratorInterface::RESULT_ENTITY);

delete

delete expects an primary key or an array of primary keys.

Delete onw entry

<?php

$mapper->delete(1);

Delete many entries

<?php

$mapper->delete([1, 2]);

Relations

Relations provide access to related, parent and child entity from another entity.

Passing relations

Pass relations as array by computed static relation method in entity class. Relations are automatically mapped to entity.

<?php

use Blast\Orm\Mapper;

class Post {

    private $comments = null;
    
    public function getComments(){
        return $this->comments;
    }

    public static function relation(Post $entity, Mapper $mapper){
        return [
            $mapper->hasMany($entity, Comments::class)
        ];
    }
}

$post = $mapper->find(1);
$comments = $post->getComments()->execute();

You could also extend the relation query with RelationInterface::getQuery.

HasOne (one-to-one)

One entity is associated with one related entity by a field which associates with primary key in current entity.

$entity - Current entity instance
$foreignEntity - Entity class name, instance or table name
$foreignKey - Field name on related entity. null by default. Empty foreign key is determined by current entity table name and primary key name as follows: {tableName}_{primaryKeyName}, e.g user_id

Example

One user has one address.

<?php

$relation = $mapper->hasOne($user, Address::class, 'user_id');

HasMany (one-to-many)

One entity is associated with many related entities by a field which associates with primary key in current entity.

$entity - Current entity instance
$foreignEntity - Entity class name, instance or table name
$foreignKey - Field name on a related entity. null by default. Empty foreign key is determined by current entity table name and primary key name as follows: {tableName}_{primaryKeyName}, e.g post_id

Example

One post has many comments

<?php

$relation = $mapper->hasMany($post, Comments::class, 'post_id');

BelongsTo (one-to-one or one-to-many)

BelongsTo is the inverse of a HasOne or a HasMany relation.

One entity is associated with one related entity by a field which associates with primary key in related entity.

$entity - Current entity instance
$foreignEntity - Entity class name, instance or table name
$localKey - Field name on current entity. null by default. Empty local key is determined by related entity table name and primary key name as follows: {tableName}_{primaryKeyName}, e.g post_id

Example

One post has one or many comments

<?php

$relation = $mapper->belongsTo($comment, Post::class, 'post_id');

ManyToMany (many-to-many)

Many entities of type A are associated with many related entities of type B by a junction table. The junction table stores associations from entities of type A to entities of type B.

$entity: Current entity instance
$foreignEntity: Entity class name, instance or table name
$foreignKey - Field name on a related entity. null by default. Empty foreign key is determined by current primary key name.
$localKey: Field name on current entity. null by default. Empty foreign key is determined by related entity primary key name.
$junction: Junction table name. null by default. Empty table name is determined by entity table name and foreign entity table name as follows: {tableName}_{foreignTableName}, e.g post_comment.
$junctionLocalKey: Field name on a related entity. null by default. Empty junction local key is determined by current entity table name and primary key name as follows: {tableName}_{primaryKeyName}, e.g post_id.
$junctionForeignKey: Field name on current entity. null by default. Empty junction foreign key is determined by related entity table name and primary key name as follows: {tableName}_{primaryKeyName}, e.g comment_id.

Example

One user has many roles, and one role has many users. Users primary key name is id, Roles primary key name is pk (Primary key short name). The junction table user_role contains user_id and role_id columns.

<?php

$relation = $mapper->manyToMany($user, Role::class, 'pk', 'id', 'user_role', 'user_id', 'role_id');

Repository

The repository abstracts methods for data persistence and access. All methods execute their queries directly.

Blast ORM provides a repository interface \Blast\Orm\RepositoryInterface.

A repository knows it's entity. Therefore we need to pass the entity as class name or instance

Create from interface

<?php

use Blast\Orm\MapperFactoryInterface;
use Blast\Orm\MapperFactoryTrait;
use Blast\Orm\RepositoryInterface;
use Blast\Orm\Hydrator\HydratorInterface;

class PostRepository implements MapperFactoryInterface, RepositoryInterface
{
    
    use MapperFactoryTrait;
    
    /**
     * Get repository entity
     */
    public function getEntity(){
        return Post::class;
    }

    /**
     * Get a collection of all entities
     *
     * @return \SplStack|array
     */
    public function all()
    {
        return $this->createMapper($this->getEntity())->select()->execute(HydratorInterface::HYDRATE_COLLECTION);
    }

    /**
     * Find entity by primary key
     *
     * @param mixed $primaryKey
     * @return \ArrayObject|\stdClass|object
     */
    public function find($primaryKey)
    {
        return $this->createMapper($this->getEntity())->find($primaryKey)->execute(HydratorInterface::HYDRATE_ENTITY);
    }

    /**
     * Save new or existing entity data
     *
     * @param object|array $data
     * @return int|bool
     */
    public function save($data)
    {
        return $this->createMapper($data)->save($data)->execute();
    }

}

Create repository by abstract

<?php

use Blast\Orm\AbstractRepository;

class PostRepository extends AbstractRepository {
    
    use \Blast\Orm\Entity\EntityAwareTrait;
    
    /**
     * Init repository and bind related entity
     */
    public function __construct(){
        $this->setEntity(Post::class);
    }
}

Create repository instance

<?php

$postRepository = new PostRepository();

find

Fetch one entry by primary key

<?php

$post = $postRepository->find(1);

all

Fetch all entries and return as collection Blast\Orm\Data\DataObject

<?php

$posts = $postRepository->all();

foreach($posts as $post){

    //do something

}

save

Save is determining if the entity is new and executes Blast\Orm\Mapper::update or if it is new Blast\Orm\Mapper::create.

<?php

$post = new Post();

$post['title'] = 'Hello World';
$post['content'] = 'Some content about hello world.';
$post['date'] = new \DateTime();

//create or update entity
$repository->save($post);
