Summary

SQL2P generates Parameter(s) for MySQL schemas. It represents database tables and its columns using the Parameter package.

Installing

SQL2P is available through Packagist and the repository source is at chevere/sql2p.

composer require chevere/sql2p

What it does?

From a CREATE TABLE statement like this one below.

CREATE TABLE `invoice` (
  `id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `client_id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `datetime` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `details` LONGTEXT NULL,
  `quantity` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `rate` DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
  `total` DECIMAL(19,4) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (quantity*rate),
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;

SQL2P generates the following PHP code.

use Chevere\Parameter\Interfaces\ArrayParameterInterface;
use function Chevere\Parameter\arrayp;
use function Chevere\Parameter\datetime;
use function Chevere\Parameter\float;
use function Chevere\Parameter\int;
use function Chevere\Parameter\null;
use function Chevere\Parameter\string;
use function Chevere\Parameter\union;

function invoiceTable(): ArrayParameterInterface
{
    return arrayp(
        id: int(min: 0),
        client_id: int(min: 0),
        datetime: datetime(),
        details: union(
            null(),
            string()
        ),
        quantity: int(min: 0),
        rate: float(),
        total: float()
    );
}

The invoiceTable() function returns table invoice schema in PHP code using Array Parameter where each column is represented by another Parameter.

From this you can add your own validation rules on top of generated code.

For example, you limit quantity to a range of 100, 200 by adding max and min arguments. Add a regex to details to validate string shape.

details: union(
    null(),
-    string()
+    string('/^(?!\s*$)./')
),
-quantity: int(min: 0),
+quantity: int(max: 200, min: 100),

Array Parameter object returned by this function can be also used to dynamic interact with one or more of these columns. See Array Composing to learn more.

Creating SQL2P

Create a SQL2P instance by passing the SQL and a Writer instance. On instance creation the SQL is parsed and the writer is used to write the generated code.

use Chevere\SQL2P\SQL2P;
use Chevere\Writer\StreamWriter;
use function Chevere\Filesystem\fileForPath;
use function Chevere\Writer\streamFor;

$schema = __DIR__ . '/schema.sql';
$output = __DIR__ . '/sql2p.php';
$header = <<<PHP
namespace MyNamespace;
PHP;
$sql = file_get_contents($schema);
file_put_contents($output, '');
$stream = streamFor($output, 'w');
$writer = new StreamWriter($stream);
$sql2p = new SQL2P($sql, $writer, $header);
$count = count($sql2p);
echo <<<PLAIN
[{$count} tables] {$output->path()}

PLAIN;

Data validation

Use SQL2P to validate data against table Parameter schema.

For example, on a single fetch result you may get the following array for a database row.

SELECT * FROM invoice WHERE id = 1

$fetch = [
    'id' => 1,
    'client_id' => 1234,
    'datetime' => '2023-10-22 19:58:44',
    'details' => null,
    'quantity' => 100,
    'rate' => 16.5,
    'total' => 1650,
];

Function invoiceTable() can be used to validate $fetch by invoking it.

$table = invoiceTable();
$table($fetch); // validation

Use arrayFrom function to create an array taking only the columns you need.

SELECT id, total FROM invoice WHERE id = 1

use function Chevere\Parameter\arrayFrom;

$fetch = [
    'id' => 1,
    'total' => 1650,
];
$table = arrayFrom(invoiceTable(), 'id', 'total');
$table($fetch);

Use arguments function to get typed access to fetched array members.

use function Chevere\Parameter\arguments;

$invoice = arguments($table, $fetch);
$total = $invoice->required('total')->int(); // 1650

When fetching multiple rows wrap Array table with iterable function.

SELECT id, total FROM invoice WHERE id > 0

$fetchAll = [
    0 => [
        'id' => 1,
        'total' => 1650,
    ],
    1 => [
        'id' => 2,
        'total' => 1820,
    ],
];
$iterable = iterable($table);
$iterable($fetchAll);

Note that arguments function supports iterable.

$invoices = arguments($iterable, $fetchAll);
$secondRow = $invoices->required('1')->array();

Array composing

Parameter provides a set of tools to work with arrays, enabling to dynamically add, remove or modify values. It also enables to compose arrays from other arrays.

For example to add a total_usd virtual column to invoiceTable().

SELECT
    id,
    total,
    total/100 total_usd
FROM invoice WHERE id = 1

$fetch = [
    'id' => 1,
    'total' => 1650,
    'total_usd' => 16.5,
];
$table = arrayFrom(invoiceTable(), 'id', 'total');
$table = $table
    ->withRequired(
        total_usd: float(),
    );
$table($fetch);

When JOIN tables you may want to take columns based on joined tables. Use takeFrom function to create a iterable with column => parameter pairs.

SELECT
    invoice.id,
    invoice.total,
    client.name,
    client.email
FROM invoice
JOIN client ON client.id = invoice.client_id
WHERE invoice.id = 1

$fetch = [
    'id' => 1,
    'total' => 1650,
    'name' => 'Rodolfo',
    'email' => 'rodolfo@chevere.org'
];
$invoice = arrayFrom(invoiceTable(), 'id', 'total');
$client = takeFrom(clientTable(), 'name', 'email');
$table = $invoice->withRequired(...$client);
$table($fetch);

For this code $client is assigned to an iterable containing name and email column pairs from clientTable(). Then by calling withRequired on $invoice it gets these columns on spread.
