🚀 QueryLite - Lightweight SQL Query Builder

QueryLite is a fast, lightweight, and easy-to-use database query builder that simplifies SQL interactions using native PDO. It provides an intuitive model-based API while ensuring raw SQL performance.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require sukhrobnurali/querylite

📌 Example Usage

1️⃣ Define a Model

Extend QueryLite to define your own database model.

class UserModel extends QueryLite
{
    const TABLE = 'users';

    protected function create($name, $email) {
        $this->insert(['name' => $name, 'email' => $email]);
    }
}

2️⃣ Establish a Database Connection

Before using QueryLite, set up a PDO connection:

$connection = new PDO(
    "mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=your_database;charset=utf8mb4",
    "your_user",
    "your_password",
    [
        PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC,
        PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    ]
);

3️⃣ Query the Database

🔹 Select Data

$userModel = new UserModel($connection);

$users = $userModel->select(['id', 'name'])
    ->where('age', '>', 18)
    ->orderBy('name ASC')
    ->limit(100)
    ->getAllRows();

🔹 Insert Data

$userModel->insert([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]'
]);

🔹 Update Data

$userModel->update(['email' => '[email protected]'])
    ->whereEqual('id', 1);

🔹 Delete Data

$userModel->delete()
    ->whereEqual('id', 5);
