A LibSQL Driver for Doctrine DBAL

LibSQL is a fork of SQLite and this package is #1 LibSQL Driver that run natively using LibSQL Native Extension/Driver/Whatever and support Doctrine DBAL.

Requirement

Before using this package, you need to install and configure LibSQL Native Extension for PHP. You can download from LibSQL Extension - Release

📦 Extract the archive
🗃 Locate somewhere in your machine
💽 Copy a relative path that address that extension/driver
📂 Open php.ini search ;extension if you using nano (ctrl+w) then searching for it
📝 add in the next-line extension=liblibsql_php.so (in Linux) without ; at the begining

Package Installation

composer require tursodatabase/turso-doctrine-dbal

Configuration

LibSQL has 4 types of connections to interact with the database: In-Memory Connection, Local Connection, Remote Connection, and Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica).

In-Memory Connection

$params = [
    "url"               => ":memory:",
    'driverClass'       => \Turso\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::class,
];

Local Connection

$params = [
    "url"               => "database.db",
    'driverClass'       => \Turso\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::class,
];

If you want to create Remote Connection or Remote Replica (Embedded Replica) Connection, you will need an existing database to continue. If you don’t have one, create one.

Get the database URL:

turso db show --url <database-name>

Get the database authentication token:

turso db tokens create <database-name>

If you use .env file, assign credentials to the environment variables inside .env.

TURSO_DATABASE_URL=
TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN=

Remote Connection

$params = [
    "auth_token"        => "<your-database-auth-token-from-turso>",
    "sync_url"          => "<your-database-url-from-turso>",
    'driverClass'       => \Turso\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::class,
];

Remote Replica (Embedded Replica) Connection

$params = [
    "url"               => "database.db",
    "auth_token"        => "<your-database-auth-token-from-turso>",
    "sync_url"          => "<your-database-url-from-turso>",
    "sync_interval"     => 5,    // Optional, default is: 5 in seconds
    "read_your_writes"  => true, // Optional, default is: true
    "encryption_key"    => "",   // Optional, default is: empty
    'driverClass'       => \Turso\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::class,
];

Usage

use Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$params = [
    "url"               => ":memory:",
    'driverClass'       => \Turso\Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::class,
];

$db = DriverManager::getConnection($params);

$createTable = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    name TEXT,
    age INTEGER
)";
$db->executeStatement($createTable);

$insertUsers = <<<SQL
INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('Budi Dalton', 49);
INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('Sujiwo Tedjo', 50);
SQL;

$db->getNativeConnection()->executeBatch($insertUsers);

$result = $db->executeQuery("SELECT * FROM users")->fetchAllAssociative();
var_dump($result);
$db->close();

What is Turso?

Turso is a SQLite-compatible database built on libSQL, the Open Contribution fork of SQLite. It enables scaling to hundreds of thousands of databases per organization and supports replication to any location, including your own servers, for microsecond-latency access.
