An efficient query generator for mass resource import, distinguishing between new records and records to update.

Import Query Generator

An efficient query generator for mass resource import, distinguishing between new records and records to update. This library uses MySQL's ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE feature., _(*1)

Preface

I highly recommend you at least skim through my blog about this library to get a better understanding of this library., _(*2)

Installation

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using Composer:, _(*3)

composer require kfirba/import-query-generator

Usage

use Kfirba\QueryGenerator;

$table = 'users';
$data = [
    ['name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com', 'password' => 'hashed_password', 'created_at' => date('Y-m-d'), 'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d')],
    ['name' => 'Jane', 'email' => 'jane@example.com', 'password' => 'hashed_password', 'created_at' => date('Y-m-d'), 'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d')],
    ['name' => 'Susy', 'email' => 'susy@example.com', 'password' => 'hashed_password', 'created_at' => date('Y-m-d'), 'updated_at' => date('Y-m-d')],
];
$excludedColumnsFromUpdate = ['password', 'created_at'];

$queryObject = (new QueryGenerator)->generate($table, $data, $excludedColumnsFromUpdate);

$queryObject->getQuery();
// -> "insert into `users` (`name`,`email`,`password`,`created_at`,`updated_at`) values (?,?,?,?,?),(?,?,?,?,?),(?,?,?,?,?) on duplicate key update `name`=VALUES(`name`),`email`=VALUES(`email`),`updated_at`=VALUES(`updated_at`)"

$queryObject->getBindings();
// -> ['John', 'john@example.com', 'hashed_password', '2018-01-12', '2018-01-12', 'Jane', 'jane@example.com', 'hashed_password', '2018-01-12', '2018-01-12', 'Susy', 'Susy@example.com', 'hashed_password', '2018-01-12', '2018-01-12']

As you may have noticed, the generator defaults to column=VALUES(column) since this is usually what we use when we attempt to bulk import some data. Need another behavior? You can submit a PR or just open an issue and we can talk about it 🤓., _(*4)
