I'm using Slim Framework
together with Laravel's Eloquent ORM
and this is my code:
User.php
class User extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
{
protected $table = 'accounts';
}
index.php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Models
include 'app/models/User.php';
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
// Database information
$settings = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
'database' => 'photo_mgmt',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'collation' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
);
$container = new Illuminate\Container\Container;
$connFactory = new \Illuminate\Database\Connectors\ConnectionFactory($container);
$conn = $connFactory->make($settings);
$resolver = new \Illuminate\Database\ConnectionResolver();
$resolver->addConnection('default', $conn);
$resolver->setDefaultConnection('default');
\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::setConnectionResolver($resolver);
$app->get('/', function () use ($app) {
$users = \User::all();
echo $users->toJson();
});
$app->run();
As you can see in my code, I have to include the User.php
file in my index.php
. But what if I have multiple models? Can I just include a folder and all models will also be included so that it won't look messy including every model file in my index.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: I'm using this piece of code I saw
foreach (glob("app/models/*.php") as $filename)
{
include $filename;
}
Is there a cleaner looking way?
You can use Composer to automatically include classes from your project. Let's say your composer.json
file lives in app
. Then you can use the classmap
attribute in your composer.json
to automatically include all classes in models
:
...
"require": {
"php" : ">=5.4.0",
"slim/slim" : "2.*",
"illuminate/database" : "5.0.33",
...
},
"autoload": {
"classmap" : [
"models"
]
}
The classmap
tells Composer to map all classes in the specified directory(ies). Then, all you need to do is run composer update
to update Composer's list of includes whenever you add a new file to this directory.
