2.3.1. Getting Started

2.3.1.1. Installation

This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as atlas/table. Add the following lines to your composer.json file, then call composer update.

{
    "require": {
        "atlas/table": "~1.0"
    }
}

2.3.1.2. Instantiation

Before using Atlas.Table, you will need to create the prerequsite data-source classes using the skeleton generator.

Once you have your data source classes in place, create a TableLocator using the static new() method and pass your PDO connection parameters:

use Atlas\Table\TableLocator;

$tableLocator = TableLocator::new('sqlite::memory:');

Tip:

Alternatively, you can pass an already-created Atlas.Pdo Connection object.

You can then use the locator to retrieve a Table by its class name.

use Atlas\Testing\DataSource\Thread\ThreadTable;

$threadTable = $tableLocator->get(ThreadTable::CLASS);

From there you can select, insert, update, and delete Row objects on a table, or work with table-level query objects.
