ArangoDB-PHP-Core

A lightweight, and at the same time flexible "very"-low-level ArangoDB client for PHP., _(*1)

, _(*2)

Master: Devel: , _(*3)

, _(*4)

Purpose:

The core client should serve as a flexible low level base for higher level client implementations (AR,ODM,OGM) to be built on top of it., _(*5)

At this experimental stage, it does provide some abstraction of ArangoDB's API. It's still not quite clear if the api abstraction will in the end result in a different package or stay in the Core. The client should generally be seen as a basis that takes away the boilerplate code of setting up requests and managing responses (headers, statuses, etc...) with ArangoDB., _(*6)

Highlights:

Request / Response Objects
A wrapper around injectable connectors. Two packages are already available: https://github.com/frankmayer/ArangoDB-PHP-Core-Curl and https://github.com/frankmayer/ArangoDB-PHP-Core-Guzzle
Flexibility through dependency injection:
- Inject your own connector, Request or Response Objects
  - directly
  - via configuration resolution
  - via the client class's own simple IOC container
Register your plugins (for example a trace plugin)
Extend the core's functionality through traits (This is still in the makings)
supports ArangoDB's Async and Batch functionality
provides a toolbox for handling everything around communication with an ArangoDB server, such as url-, parameter- and header-building tools.
Includes a few test classes that provide basic testing functionality against the server and also a bit of insight on how to build a client on top of the core.

PHP Versions:

Tested and Supported with PHP 7.0+ & HHVM 3.15.0+ (but will most probably work from HHVM 3.11.0 onwards), _(*7)

Caution:

This project is at the moment in a highly experimental phase. The API is not yet stable and there most probably will be significant changes to it., _(*8)

So, it's not recommended to build anything critical on top of it yet. ;) But... stay tuned..., _(*9)

Contributing

As the project is still in a highly experimental state, it's not yet open to pull requests. But I'd love to see contributions after the initial experimental phase is over. :) I'll let you know via this readme and my Twitter-feed: https://twitter.com/frankmayer_ Thanks !!, _(*10)
