Data Access Framework for high-latency databases (Cloud SQL/NoSQL).
Name | Agile Data |
|---|---|
| Webseite | git.io/ad |
| Github / Bitbucket / Sourceforge | git.io/ad |
| License | MIT |
| Latest version | 1.2.x |
| How schema is defined? | in PHP. Method init() in Model class defines fields, relations, conditions, etc. |
| Code generation | Ja https://github.com/atk4/schema |
| Can be used in Any Framework | Ja Through composer/packagist |
| Automated Cache | Ja Frameworks focuses on optimizing queries rather then caching. Still possible with cross-persistence saving. |
| Anti-patterns (purposely included) | Model close-coupled with Persistence and Field classes. |
| Audience | |
| Dependencies | Minimal: 2 packages: DSQL Query Builder (git.io/... |
| Simplicity | 5.0/5 2 ratings |
| Enterprise Compliance | 5.0/5 2 ratings |
| Minimum PHP Version | 5.6 |
| Basic Features | |
| PDO Support | Ja Yes |
| Transparent support for NoSQL | - Through 3rd party drivers. |
| How to invoke db-vendor-specific extensions? | Ja For SQL - save/load/delete operations are expressed in DSQL Queries that can be manipulated: http://git.io/dsql |
| Array as a persistence | Ja CRUD operations supported |
| RestAPI as a persistence | - Through 3rd party extension. |
| JSON string as a persistence | Ja Supported with few extra lines of code. |
| Same model, multiple persistences | Ja Same class. Different object. |
| Basic Single-record operations (C,R,U,D) | |
| Table Name Mapping | Ja Yes |
| Field Name Mapping | Ja Yes (Field::actual property) |
| Map Entity to SubQuery | Ja Yes. Extension exist for UNION-models. https://github.com/atk4/report |
| Map property to expression | Ja $model->addExpression() |
| Map native types (DateTime) | Ja $field->type = 'date' |
| User-defined types (e.g. "23 USD") | Ja Yes. Independent from Model. by extending Field class. |
| Map field of related Entity ('currency' = currency_id->Model Currency.name) | Ja Transparently maps into sub-select. |
| Map field to sub-query on related entity (Client.balance = Client->orders->sum(total)) | Ja Yes. hasMany()->addField(..aggregate) |
| Entity to join multiple tables (adding new record populates both tables) | Ja $model->join('other_table') |
| Criteria, Scope, Conditions (Model will refuse to work with records that does not match criteria) | |
| Support model-level criteria | Ja Yes. Applied on loading / saving / update. |
| Soft-delete | Ja Through criteria. Example given in the docs. |
| Domain Model Criteria | Ja $m->addCondition('gender','M'); where 'gender' can be arbitrary expression, sub-select, field from association(join) or mapped no another physical field. |
| Expression-based condition | Ja $m->addCondition($m->expr('..')); |
| Criteria Compliance (new record must match condition) | Ja Transaction rollback and exception. Automated-rloading. |
| Dynamic criteria | Ja $user->addCondition('is_expired', false) |
| Query Building (Convert Model into Query object for further SQL tweaking) | |
| Convert Model into Query Object | Ja $q = $model->action('select'); |
| Raw expression | Ja new Expression('any sql') |
| Nested/Composite Queries/Expressions | Ja Expression can be in any part of query |
| Reference domain-model field in query | Ja through Expressionable interface |
| field, where, order, limit | Ja Expressions and Parametric values |
| options, rollup, partition | - Through custom templates, or expressions. |
| UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT query building | Ja |
| REPLACE, TRUNCATE | Ja |
| SHOW, DESCRIBE, CALL | - Supported through Expressions or Custom query template |
| ALTER, CREATE query building | Ja Addon: http://github.com/atk4/schema |
| User-defined query template | Ja Templates for all queries |
| full support for OR conditions | Ja Through Object Composition and Expressions |
| Use Domain logic in multi-record update | - Supported, but must map fields/values manually. |
| Data Fetching (different ways to retrieve data from database) | |
| Get All Data (2x array) | Ja |
| Associative Array (id=>value) | Nein Planned |
| Select only required fields | Ja |
| Typecasting (e.g. DateTime) | Ja |
| Import (multiple records) | Ja |
| Respect domain model mapping (and criteria) | Ja |
| Single row | Ja loadAny |
| Single Value | Ja Through action |
| Single Column | - may need to map resulting array |
| Iterator | Ja |
| Bypass persistence mapping | Ja action('select')->getAll() |
| Loading and Saving individual records | |
| Load by ID | Ja load(id) |
| Load by other field | Ja loadBy('field', $value) |
| Read-only Models | Ja Yes |
| Model without primary key | Ja Yes, but only in Read-only Mode |
| Specify fields to load | Ja onlyFields() |
| Save only sends dirty fields | Ja |
| Guarded / Fillable properties | Ja Conditions and OnlyFields do same thing but more reliably. |
| Object Hierarchy Model | |
| Admin extends User, adds criteria (is_admin=1) | Ja Yes, recommended pattern. "User" class adds condition. |
| Admin extends User, adds accessible fields | Ja Yes, recommended pattern. |
| Extend model, add Join (Disjoined SubTypes) | Ja Yes. Unlimited number of joins. |
| Extend model change table | Ja Yes. Used to tweak 3rd party models. |
| Relations/References (One model can relate to another model. NOT A TABLE JOIN) | |
| Model can define relation to other Model | Ja References are implemented as Objects |
| One-to-Many | Ja $user->hasMany('Orders', new Order()); |
| One-to-many traversal strategy | Returns destination model instance with dynamically applied criteria (parent_id=123). No queries are executed. Inserting record into this model will ensure association with parent model. |
| Lazy/Eager-loading | Nein Anti-pattern |
| One-to-One | Ja $order->hasOne('user_id', new User()); |
| Many-to-Many | Ja $user->addCondition('vip', true)->ref('Orders'); |
| Deep Many-to-Many traversal. | Ja $user->ref('Orders')->ref('Payments')->action('count'); No intermediate queries. |
| Cross-Persistence traversal | Ja $user->hasMany('Log', new Log($mongodb)); |
| Cross-persistence joins, aggregation, reporting | |
| Multi-persistence join | Nein |
| UNION existing models | Ja Yes, in add-on https://github.com/atk4/report/. Can join UNION result with more tables. |
| Domain-model Aggregation | Ja Group by multiple fields. Apply aggregation functions. Preserve types. |
| Model to Model join | Nein Planned. |
| Multi-persistence UNION | Nein |

| Revert action (undo) and replay (redo) | Ja |
| Reactive actions | Ja Each action will be automatically linked with sub-actions which may be invoked through Hooks. |
| Store log in any persistence | Ja |
| Override, Add fields to audit log | Record dirty fields before persisting. Type-cast into JSON string and store in a single field of AuditLog Model. This model can be persisted anywhere, table, file, etc. |
| Custom events | Ja |
| Access to record-specific history | Ja $item->ref('AuditLog'); |
| Date of creation, modification | - No but easy to add through hook. |
| User/IP creation, modification | - Easy to add through a hook. |
| Store incremental revisions | - Easy to add through a hook |
| Integration | |
| Field meta-information provided | Type, caption, possible values, mapped field, join table spec, encryption, serialization, UI-specific settings, validation rules. |
| UI extensions | Ja CRUD, Form, Table, Grid, Entity-manager. (see https://github.com/atk4/ad) |
| API extensions | Ja RestFULL API, automated CRUD operations + RPC https://github.com/atk4/api |
User reviews and comments
Couldn't work on any other framework/orm after switching to ATK. Its just how every programmer always wanted ...
Using in Recent modules of our ERP
Most simple among what I used (almost all popular ones)
Not really an ORM, but offers much more powerful support for Domain Model.
