A lightweight PHP library

KS PHP

What is this?

A small PHP library for CRUD like apps

• The main design criteria for this library was to make my life easier as a freelance web dev
• It uses an Active record class that creates a table with given model
• The model has convenience methods to interact with the DB records
• HTML Output class that will build Components and Forms based on models

Prerequisites

• PHP7
• Strict types enabled
• MySQL or Maria DB

Plays nice with

• Any shared host with PHP7
• Twitter Bootstrap
• Need REST end points? Slim is pretty great

Config

• Fill Config.php

      const DEBUG_MODE = true;
      const TIME_ZONE = "America/Mexico_City";
      const HOST = "host=127.0.0.1:8889";
      const DB = "KS";
      const DB_USER = "root";
      const DB_PW = "1111";

Classes

KS\DB - Convinience methods for DB interaction

• Execute a SQL statement, returns a PDOStatement

    DB::sql("SELECT * FROM `cats`")->fetchAll();

• Returns a new instance of PDO with Config.php params

    $pdo = DB::pdo(); 

KS\MODEL - Active Record Classes for BD Interaction

1-Extend a new custom model from KS\Model, _(*1)

2-Assign public properties with type:, _(*2)

    class Cat extends KS\Model\Model
    {
        public $name = "string"; //string
        public $age = 1; //integer
        public $is_fat = true; //boolean
    }

3 - KS\Model will automatically create a table, _(*3)

4 - Use chained methods to manipulate the db, _(*4)

     //Save new Model
     $c = new Cat();
     $c->name = "Odin";
     $c->age = 6;
     $c->is_fat = true;
     $c->save();

     //Or save new record with a $_POST array
     $c->save($_POST);

     //Find row with id 
     Cat::find(1)->get(); 

     //Return type json/object
     Cat::find(1)->json();
     Cat::find(1)->object();

     //Update with id 
     $c = new Cat();
     $c->name = "Odin";
     $c->age = 7;
     $c->is_fat = false;
     $c->update(1);

     //Delete with id
     Cat::delete(1);

KS\HMTL - for HTML output
