Propel3

Propel3 is an open-source Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) for modern PHP 7.1+.

Version 3 of Propel ORM replaces Propel2, which is not maintained anymore. Propel3 introduces a data-mapper implementation which separates your entities from the actual persisting logic.

Status

This is in current development and is not yet ready to use.

Features

• Propel is blazing fast
• Data mapper with runtime UnitOfWork for high performance with massive object counts (bulks inserts/updates)
• Query-Builder
• Very IDE friendly thanks to code-generation
• Generation of methods for all columns and relations
• Database schema migration
• Schema reverse engineering
• Customizable
• Propel comes with common ‘behaviors’
• Completely unit tested for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite. Oracle and MSSQL are experimental.

Example

Define the entity

XML

<database name="default">
  <entity name="Vendor\Car">
      <field name="id" primaryKey="true" autoIncrement="true" type="INTEGER" />
      <field name="name" type="VARCHAR" required="true"  />
      <relation target="Publisher" onDelete="setnull"/>
      <relation target="Author" onDelete="setnull" onUpdate="cascade"/>
  </entity>
</database>

or annotations

In work.

namespace Vendor

use Propel\Annotations\Entity;
use Propel\Annotations\Field;
use Propel\Annotations\PrimaryKey;

/**
 * @Entity()
 */ 
class Car
{
    /**
     * @PrimaryKey(auto_increment=true)
     */
    private $id;
    
    /**
     * @Field(type="VARCHAR")
     */
    private $name;
    
    // getters/setters
}

Data mapper

$propel = new Propel\Runtime\Configuration('path/to/propel.yml');

// require a session for each request/workload
$session = $propel->getSession();

$car = new Vendor\Car();
$car->setName('Ford');

$session->persist($car);
$session->commit();

RAD/Active-record

// use <entity name="Vendor\Car" activeRecord="true">
$car = new Vendor\Car();
$car->setName('Ford');
$car->save();

Installation
