Informations about the package orm
nixphp/orm
Minimalistic object mapper for your NixPHP application.
This plugin adds basic ORM support to NixPHP:
lightweight, readable, and ideal for small to medium use cases.
It supports nested entity saving (including pivot tables),
auto-discovery of related entities, and lazy-loading on read.
🧩 Part of the official NixPHP plugin collection.
Use it if you want structured object handling – but without the complexity of full-stack ORM systems.

em()->save($entity) - ✅ Detects and stores relations automatically
- ✅ Supports
One-to-ManyandMany-to-Manyout of the box - ✅ Uses simple PHP classes, no annotations or metadata

📥 Installation

You also need nixphp/database for PDO access.
🛠 Configuration
This plugin uses the shared PDO instance from nixphp/database.
Make sure your /app/config.php contains a working database section.
Example: MySQL
Example: SQLite
Or for in-memory usage (great for testing):
🧩 Usage
Define your models
Models extend AbstractModel and use the EntityTrait.
Saving data
Reading data
Relations are lazy-loaded automatically when accessed.
📚 Philosophy
This ORM is intentionally small and predictable. It provides just enough structure to manage entities and relations – without introducing complex abstractions or hidden behavior.
If you need validation, eager loading, event hooks, or advanced query building, you can integrate any larger ORM of your choice alongside it.
