+# DatabaseFactory
Please note that this library is still in heavy development stages and is in no way ready for production use.

-### How to get started
-
-#### configure an `.env` file and assign your credentials
-
-```dotenv
-DB_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1
-DB_DATABASE=database_name
-DB_USERNAME=root
-DB_PASSWORD=password
-DB_DRIVER=mysql
-```
-
-#### set up the library
-
-> **DatabaseFactory** is extremely easy to set up. With just a few lines of code, you'll
-> be up and running in not time flat. Simply configure your `env`, start a PDO connection
-> and you're ready to work with your data.
-
-```php
-// first, we load the env configuration variables
-DatabaseFactory\Helpers\Env::init(__DIR__); // path to the .env file
-
-// next, we establish a new connection
-DatabaseFactory\Facades\DB::connect();
-
-// now, we're ready to get started!
-// ...
-```
-
-
-
-### Retrieving data
-
-> The **DatabaseFactory** API provides several methods for returning data. This includes returning JSON, XML and raw
-> PHP.
-> These methods are `get()`, `toArray()`, `toJSON()` and `toXML()`.
-
-
-
-##### using the ORM
-
-```php
-// generate the query
-$mapper = User::where('name', '<>', '');
-
-// dump the data
-Helpers\Debug::dump($mapper->get());
-```
-
-##### using the query builder
-
-```php
-// generate the query
-$builder = Facades\DB::table('users');
-$builder->select('email')->where('name', '=', 'Mark');
-
-// dump the data
-Helpers\Debug::dump($builder->get());
-```
-
-##### using the ORM _with_ the query builder
-
-```php
-// generate the query
-$combined = User::where('name', '<>', '')->limit(5)->offset(5);
-
-// dump the data
-Helpers\Debug::dump($combined->get());
-```
-
-### Creating and updating data
-
-##### create a new entity object
-
-```php
-// this class MUST extend the base entity class
-class User extends \DatabaseFactory\Entity
-{
- // all fields you want to work with are properties
- // within this class
- public string $name;
- public string $email;
-}
-```
-
-##### creating data using the entity object
-
-```php
-$user = new User();
-$user->name = 'Manny Moreno';
-$user->email = 'mmoreno@gmail.com';
-$user->save();
-```
-
-##### updating data using the entity object
-
-```php
-// we pass through the ID of the record we want
-// to work with
-$user = new User(15);
-$user->name = 'Garry Williams';
-$user->email = 'gwilliamslas@gmail.com';
-$user->save();
-```
-
-#### Advanced Usage
-
-
-
-> **DatabaseFactory** is meant to be extremely robust. Using the ORM and the query builder
-> in conjunction with one another, you can build some rather complex queries. For example,
-> here is a more comprehensive query that can be generated with **DatabaseFactory**.
->
-> For example ...
-
-
-
-```php
-App\Entities\User::join('users_roles', 'users.id, users.name, users.email', ['users_roles.user_id', 'users.id'])
- ->and('users.email', '<>', '')
- ->and('users.name', '<>', '')
- ->andLike('users.email', 'proton')
- ->notLike('users.email', 'gmail')
- ->groupBy('users_roles.user_id, users.id')
- ->orderBy('users.id', 'DESC')
- ->limit(10)
- ->offset(5);
-```
-
-> ... would execute the following query:
-
-```mysql
-SELECT users.id, users.name, users.email
-FROM users
- INNER JOIN users_roles ON users_roles.user_id = users.id
- AND users.email <> ''
- AND users.name <> ''
- AND users.email LIKE '%proton%'
-WHERE users.email NOT LIKE '%gmail%'
-GROUP BY users_roles.user_id, users.id
-ORDER BY users.id DESC
-LIMIT 10 OFFSET 5
-```
