Informations about the package sparkle
Sparkle – A Lightweight Database Abstraction Layer for PHP
Sparkle is a simple yet expressive Database Abstraction Layer (DAL) for PHP, highly inspired by Laravel's Eloquent. However, unlike Eloquent, which is a full-fledged Object-Relational Mapper (ORM), Sparkle is a lightweight query builder designed for direct interaction with PDO while keeping things minimal and efficient.
If you love Eloquent's fluent syntax but need something lighter and more flexible, Sparkle is the perfect fit.
🔥 Features
✅ Fluent Query Builder – Write queries effortlessly using a clean and expressive syntax.
✅ Lightweight & Fast – No heavy ORM, just raw performance with a structured API.
✅ Built on PDO – Fully utilizes PHP’s native PDO for database interactions.
✅ Transactions Support – Handle database transactions with ease.
✅ Error Handling & Logging – Catch SQL errors and log them when needed.
✅ Raw Queries – Run custom SQL queries with parameter binding.
✅ Flexible & Extensible – Easily integrates into any PHP project.
🚀Installation
You can install Sparkle via Composer:
Why Sparkle?
While Laravel Eloquent is a powerful ORM with advanced features like model relationships, mutators, and events, Sparkle is a much simpler DAL that focuses only on query building and execution. It's perfect for projects where you don’t need the overhead of a full ORM but still want a structured and expressive way to interact with your database.
