Installation

• Requirements: PHP >= 8.1, PDO extension for your database(s)
• Install via Composer:

composer require getphred/pairity

After install, you can use the CLI at vendor/bin/pairity.

Quick start

Minimal example with SQLite (file db.sqlite) and a simple users DAO/DTO.

use Pairity\Database\ConnectionManager;
use Pairity\Model\AbstractDto;
use Pairity\Model\AbstractDao;

// 1) Connect
$conn = ConnectionManager::make([
    'driver' => 'sqlite',
    'path'   => __DIR__ . '/db.sqlite',
]);

// 2) Ensure table exists (demo)
$conn->execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  email TEXT NOT NULL,
  name TEXT NULL,
  status TEXT NULL
)');

// 3) Define DTO + DAO
class UserDto extends AbstractDto {}
class UserDao extends AbstractDao {
    public function getTable(): string { return 'users'; }
    protected function dtoClass(): string { return UserDto::class; }
}

// 4) CRUD
$dao = new UserDao($conn);
$created = $dao->insert(['email' => 'a@b.com', 'name' => 'Alice', 'status' => 'active']);
$one = $dao->findById($created->toArray()['id']);
$many = $dao->findAllBy(['status' => 'active']);
$dao->update($created->toArray()['id'], ['name' => 'Alice Updated']);
$dao->deleteById($created->toArray()['id']);

For MySQL, configure:

$conn = ConnectionManager::make([
  'driver' => 'mysql',
  'host' => '127.0.0.1',
  'port' => 3306,
  'database' => 'app',
  'username' => 'root',
  'password' => 'secret',
  'charset'  => 'utf8mb4',
]);

Concepts

• DTO (Data Transfer Object): a lightweight data bag. Extend Pairity\Model\AbstractDto. Convert to arrays via toArray(bool $deep = true).
• DAO (Data Access Object): table‑focused persistence and relations. Extend Pairity\Model\AbstractDao and implement:
  • getTable(): string
  • dtoClass(): string (class-string of your DTO)
  • Optional: schema() for casts, timestamps, soft deletes
  • Optional: relations() for hasOne/hasMany/belongsTo
• Relations are DAO‑centric: call with([...]) to eager load; load()/loadMany() for lazy.
• Field projection via fields('id', 'name', 'posts.title') with dot‑notation for related selects.
• Raw SQL: use ConnectionInterface::query, execute, transaction, lastInsertId.
• Query Builder: a simple builder (Pairity\Query\QueryBuilder) exists for ad‑hoc SQL composition.

Dynamic DAO methods

AbstractDao supports dynamic helpers, mapped to column names (Studly/camel to snake_case):

• findOneBy<Column>($value): ?DTO
• findAllBy<Column>($value): DTO[]
• updateBy<Column>($value, array $data): int (returns affected rows)
• deleteBy<Column>($value): int

Examples:

$user = $dao->findOneByEmail('a@b.com');
$actives = $dao->findAllByStatus('active');
$dao->updateByEmail('a@b.com', ['name' => 'New Name']);
$dao->deleteByEmail('gone@b.com');

Selecting fields

• Default projection is SELECT *.
• Use fields(...$fields) to limit columns. You can include relation fields using dot‑notation:

$users = (new UserDao($conn))
  ->fields('id', 'name', 'posts.title')
  ->with(['posts'])
  ->findAllBy(['status' => 'active']);

Notes:

• fields() affects only the next find* call and then resets.
• Relation field selections are passed to the related DAO when eager loading.

Supported databases

• MySQL/MariaDB
• SQLite
• PostgreSQL
• SQL Server
• Oracle

NoSQL: a minimal in‑memory MongoDB stub is included (Pairity\NoSql\Mongo\MongoConnectionInterface and MongoConnection) for experimentation without external deps.

Raw SQL

Use the ConnectionInterface behind your DAO for direct SQL.

use Pairity\Contracts\ConnectionInterface;

// Get connection from DAO
$conn = $dao->getConnection();

// SELECT
$rows = $conn->query('SELECT id, email FROM users WHERE status = :s', ['s' => 'active']);

// INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
$affected = $conn->execute('UPDATE users SET status = :s WHERE id = :id', ['s' => 'inactive', 'id' => 10]);

// Transaction
$conn->transaction(function (ConnectionInterface $db) {
    $db->execute('INSERT INTO logs(message) VALUES(:m)', ['m' => 'started']);
    // ...
});

Relations (DAO‑centric MVP)

Declare relations in your DAO by overriding relations() and use with() for eager loading or load()/loadMany() for lazy loading.

Example: User hasMany Posts, Post belongsTo User

use Pairity\Model\AbstractDto;
use Pairity\Model\AbstractDao;

class UserDto extends AbstractDto {}
class PostDto extends AbstractDto {}

class UserDao extends AbstractDao {
    public function getTable(): string { return 'users'; }
    protected function dtoClass(): string { return UserDto::class; }
    protected function relations(): array {
        return [
            'posts' => [
                'type' => 'hasMany',
                'dao' => PostDao::class,
                'dto' => PostDto::class,
                'foreignKey' => 'user_id', // on posts
                'localKey'   => 'id',      // on users
            ],
        ];
    }
}

class PostDao extends AbstractDao {
    public function getTable(): string { return 'posts'; }
    protected function dtoClass(): string { return PostDto::class; }
    protected function relations(): array {
        return [
            'user' => [
                'type' => 'belongsTo',
                'dao'  => UserDao::class,
                'dto'  => UserDto::class,
                'foreignKey' => 'user_id', // on posts
                'otherKey'   => 'id',      // on users
            ],
        ];
    }
}

$users = (new UserDao($conn))
    ->fields('id', 'name', 'posts.title')
    ->with(['posts'])
    ->findAllBy(['status' => 'active']);

// Lazy load a relation later
$postDao = new PostDao($conn);
$post = $postDao->findOneBy(['id' => 10]);
$postDao->load($post, 'user');

Notes:

• Eager loader batches queries using IN (...) lookups under the hood.
• Loaded relations are attached onto the DTO under the relation name (e.g., $user->posts).
• hasOne is supported like hasMany but attaches a single DTO instead of a list.

Model metadata & schema mapping (MVP)

Define schema metadata on your DAO by overriding schema(). The schema enables:

• Column casts (storage <-> PHP): int, float, bool, string, datetime, json
• Timestamps automation (createdAt, updatedAt filled automatically)
• Soft deletes (update deletedAt instead of hard delete, with query scopes)

Example:

use Pairity\Model\AbstractDao;

class UserDao extends AbstractDao
{
    public function getTable(): string { return 'users'; }
    protected function dtoClass(): string { return UserDto::class; }

    // Optional: declare primary key, casts, timestamps, soft deletes
    protected function schema(): array
    {
        return [
            'primaryKey' => 'id',
            'columns' => [
                'id' => ['cast' => 'int'],
                'email' => ['cast' => 'string'],
                'name' => ['cast' => 'string'],
                'status' => ['cast' => 'string'],
                // if present in your table
                'data' => ['cast' => 'json'],
                'created_at' => ['cast' => 'datetime'],
                'updated_at' => ['cast' => 'datetime'],
                'deleted_at' => ['cast' => 'datetime'],
            ],
            'timestamps' => [
                'createdAt' => 'created_at',
                'updatedAt' => 'updated_at',
            ],
            'softDeletes' => [
                'enabled' => true,
                'deletedAt' => 'deleted_at',
            ],
        ];
    }
}

// Usage (defaults to SELECT * unless you call fields())
$users = (new UserDao($conn))
    ->findAllBy(['status' => 'active']);

// Soft delete vs hard delete
(new UserDao($conn))->deleteById(10); // if softDeletes enabled => sets deleted_at timestamp

// Query scopes for soft deletes
$all = (new UserDao($conn))->withTrashed()->findAllBy();     // include soft-deleted rows
$trashedOnly = (new UserDao($conn))->onlyTrashed()->findAllBy(); // only soft-deleted

// Casting on hydration and storage
$user = (new UserDao($conn))->findById(1); // date columns become DateTimeImmutable; json becomes array
$created = (new UserDao($conn))->insert([
    'email' => 'a@b.com',
    'name' => 'Alice',
    'status' => 'active',
    'data' => ['tags' => ['a','b']], // stored as JSON automatically
]);

Timestamps & Soft Deletes

• Configure in your DAO schema() using keys:
  • timestamps → ['createdAt' => 'created_at', 'updatedAt' => 'updated_at']
  • softDeletes → ['enabled' => true, 'deletedAt' => 'deleted_at']
• Behavior:
  • On insert(), both created_at and updated_at are auto-filled (UTC Y-m-d H:i:s).
  • On update() and updateBy(), updated_at is auto-updated.
  • On deleteById() / deleteBy(), if soft deletes are enabled, rows are marked by setting deleted_at instead of being physically removed.
  • Default queries exclude soft-deleted rows. Use scopes withTrashed() and onlyTrashed() to modify visibility.
  • Helpers:
    • restoreById($id) / restoreBy($criteria) — set deleted_at to NULL.
    • forceDeleteById($id) / forceDeleteBy($criteria) — permanently delete.
    • touch($id) — update only the updated_at column.

Example:

$dao = new UserDao($conn);
$user = $dao->insert(['email' => 'x@y.com']); // created_at/updated_at filled
$dao->update($user->id, ['name' => 'Updated']); // updated_at bumped
$dao->deleteById($user->id); // soft delete
$also = $dao->withTrashed()->findById($user->id); // visible with trashed
$dao->restoreById($user->id); // restore
$dao->forceDeleteById($user->id); // permanent

Migrations & Schema Builder

Pairity ships a lightweight migrations runner and a portable schema builder focused on MySQL and SQLite for v1. You can declare migrations as PHP classes implementing Pairity\Migrations\MigrationInterface and build tables with a fluent Schema builder.

Supported:

• Table operations: create, drop, dropIfExists, table(...) (ALTER)
• Columns: increments, bigIncrements, integer, bigInteger, string(varchar), text, boolean, json, datetime, decimal(precision, scale), timestamps()
• Indexes: primary([...]), unique([...], ?name), index([...], ?name)
• ALTER (MVP): add column (all drivers), drop column (MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server; SQLite 3.35+), rename column (MySQL 8+/Postgres/SQL Server; SQLite 3.25+), add/drop index/unique, rename table
• Drivers: MySQL/MariaDB (default), SQLite (auto-detected), PostgreSQL (pgsql), SQL Server (sqlsrv), Oracle (oci)

Example migration (see examples/migrations/CreateUsersTable.php):

use Pairity\Migrations\MigrationInterface;
use Pairity\Contracts\ConnectionInterface;
use Pairity\Schema\SchemaManager;
use Pairity\Schema\Blueprint;

return new class implements MigrationInterface {
    public function up(ConnectionInterface $connection): void
    {
        $schema = SchemaManager::forConnection($connection);
        $schema->create('users', function (Blueprint $t) {
            $t->increments('id');
            $t->string('email', 190);
            $t->unique(['email']);
            $t->string('name', 255)->nullable();
            $t->string('status', 50)->nullable();
            $t->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down(ConnectionInterface $connection): void
    {
        $schema = SchemaManager::forConnection($connection);
        $schema->dropIfExists('users');
    }
};

Running migrations (SQLite example):

<?php
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Pairity\Database\ConnectionManager;
use Pairity\Migrations\Migrator;

$conn = ConnectionManager::make([
    'driver' => 'sqlite',
    'path'   => __DIR__ . '/../db.sqlite',
]);

$createUsers = require __DIR__ . '/migrations/CreateUsersTable.php';

$migrator = new Migrator($conn);
$migrator->setRegistry(['CreateUsersTable' => $createUsers]);

$applied = $migrator->migrate(['CreateUsersTable' => $createUsers]);
echo 'Applied: ' . json_encode($applied) . PHP_EOL;

Notes:

• The migrations runner tracks applied migrations in a migrations table with batches.
• For rollback, keep a registry of name => instance in the same process or use class names that can be autoloaded.
• SQLite has limitations around ALTER TABLE operations; this MVP emits native ALTER TABLE for supported versions (ADD COLUMN always; RENAME/DROP COLUMN require modern SQLite). For legacy versions, operations may fail; rebuild strategies can be added later.
  • Pairity includes a best-effort table rebuild fallback for legacy SQLite: when DROP COLUMN/RENAME COLUMN is unsupported, it recreates the table and copies data. Complex constraints/triggers may not be preserved.

CLI

Pairity ships a tiny CLI for migrations. After composer install, the binary is available as vendor/bin/pairity or as a project bin if installed as a dependency.

Usage:

pairity migrate [--path=DIR] [--config=FILE]
pairity rollback [--steps=N] [--config=FILE]
pairity status [--path=DIR] [--config=FILE]
pairity reset [--config=FILE]
pairity make:migration Name [--path=DIR]

Options and environment:

• If --config=FILE is provided, it must be a PHP file returning the ConnectionManager config array.
• Otherwise, the CLI reads environment variables:
  • DB_DRIVER (mysql|mariadb|pgsql|postgres|postgresql|sqlite|sqlsrv)
  • DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_CHARSET (MySQL)
  • DB_PATH (SQLite path)
• If nothing is provided, defaults to a SQLite file at db.sqlite in project root.

Migration discovery:

• The CLI looks for migrations in ./database/migrations, then project/database/migrations, then examples/migrations.
• Each PHP file should return a MigrationInterface instance (see examples). Files are applied in filename order.

Example ALTER migration (users add bio):

return new class implements MigrationInterface {
    public function up(ConnectionInterface $connection): void
    {
        $schema = SchemaManager::forConnection($connection);
        $schema->table('users', function (Blueprint $t) {
            $t->string('bio', 500)->nullable();
            $t->index(['status'], 'users_status_index');
        });
    }
    public function down(ConnectionInterface $connection): void
    {
        $schema = SchemaManager::forConnection($connection);
        $schema->table('users', function (Blueprint $t) {
            $t->dropIndex('users_status_index');
            $t->dropColumn('bio');
        });
    }
};

Notes:

• Schema is optional; if omitted, DAOs behave as before (no casting, no timestamps/soft deletes).
• Timestamps use UTC and the format Y-m-d H:i:s for portability.
• Default SELECT is *. To limit columns, use fields(); it always takes precedence.

DTO toArray (deep vs shallow)

DTOs implement toArray(bool $deep = true).

• When $deep is true (default): the DTO is converted to an array and any related DTOs (including arrays of DTOs) are recursively converted.
• When $deep is false: only the top-level attributes are converted; related DTOs remain as objects.

Example:

$users = (new UserDao($conn))
    ->with(['posts'])
    ->findAllBy(['status' => 'active']);

$deep    = array_map(fn($u) => $u->toArray(), $users);       // deep (default)
$shallow = array_map(fn($u) => $u->toArray(false), $users);  // shallow

Roadmap

• Relations enhancements:
  • Nested eager loading (e.g., posts.comments)
  • belongsToMany (pivot tables)
  • Optional join‑based eager loading strategy
• Unit of Work & Identity Map
• Schema builder: broader ALTER coverage and more dialect nuances; better SQLite rebuild for complex constraints
• CLI: additional commands and quality‑of‑life improvements
• Testing matrix and examples for more drivers
• Caching layer and query logging hooks
• Production NoSQL adapters (MongoDB driver integration)
