Where can I get a lightweight ORM for a small PHP project?

Question

PHP

I'm doing a small project without a framework (but with Composer packages) and still there was a need for some kind of elementary database.

There are no special requirements for it, it is needed purely to store some configs or something like that, well, like a phone book in a smartphone :) i.e. performance is not critical.

Of course, I can do it on files - but somehow I don’t feel like doing scribbling :) I

thought to connect Doctrine - but I want something less cumbersome.

Is there anything in nature for these needs?

Ideally - some kind of Eloquent that writes everything to one file ))))))))) or something like that))

In general, do you know something like that?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can use any ORM - they all work with SQLite.
The same Eloquent can be used without Lumen and Laravel via Capsule.
There is also Cycle ORM , you can simply "include" it.
Similar to Doctrine, implements the DataMapper pattern.
If you want something very simple (more like a Query Builder than an ORM) - see Medoo .

On a small project, I once used https://github.com/envms/fluentpdo
, maybe it will work for you too)

Look at Packagist and choose what you like.
