A Resource Query Language to PHP

RQL (Resource Query Language)

, _(*1)

• A Resource Query Language to PHP (with all methods covered by php unit tests), with this library you can perform queries using a unique input interface that will be converted and processed using the ProcessorInterface contribute with this project!

Installation

• The package is available on Packagist.
• The source files is PSR-2 compatible.
• Autoloading is PSR-4 compatible.
• Input parser data is PSR-7 compatible.

composer require cekurte/rql

If you liked of this library, give me a star =)., _(*2)

Documentation

This library was created to perform queries using a unique interface that will be converted and processed to the correct target. The target data can be an array, a database, a file (such as an ini, a xml or a json), a webservice, and more. Currently this project works only with the Doctrine ORM, then, you can perform queries in all databases that are compatible with the doctrine ORM project., _(*3)

We would be happy with their contribution, submit your pull request for new Processors like the Eloquent ORM, File Parser (INI, XML, JSON), API's (Facebook, LinkedIn,...) and more., _(*4)

Expressions

Well, now we show how to use this library, to perform the query using the equality expression (more expressions will be show too)., _(*5)

<?php

use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Expr\EqExpr;
use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\ExprQueue;
use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Processor\DoctrineOrmProcessor;

// ...
$qb = $yourDoctrineEntityRepository->createQueryBuilder('alias');

$queue = new ExprQueue();
$queue->enqueue(new EqExpr('alias.field', 'value'));

// You can enqueue all expressions that implemented
// the Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Contract\ExprInterface

(new DoctrineOrmProcessor($qb))->process($queue);

// And now you can use the Doctrine QueryBuilder normally
$results = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();

// ...

Ok, but why do not use the Doctrine QueryBuilder to build the queries and perform it? Because of the flexibility to search in the multiple data sources using the same interface changing the Processor class, that in this case is the DoctrineOrmProcessor., _(*6)

Woow, you can see this scenario with various possibilities like me? Then, this library is for you guy. You share your aim with me and contribute with this project., _(*7)

But, if i want build a collection of expression, i need to put the expressions using the queue? Yes, it is an valid answer for this question, but you can use the ExprBuilder to perform it too. Like the following example:, _(*8)

<?php

use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\ExprBuilder;
use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Processor\DoctrineOrmProcessor;

// ...
$qb = $yourDoctrineEntityRepository->createQueryBuilder('alias');

$builder = new ExprBuilder();
$builder->eq('field', 'value');

(new DoctrineOrmProcessor($qb))->process($builder);

// And now you can use the Doctrine QueryBuilder normally
$results = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();

// ...

Note that the ExprBuilder class implements a shortcut to all available expressions., _(*9)

Currently are available the following expressions:, _(*10)

• BetweenExpr
• EqExpr
• GteExpr
• GtExpr
• InExpr
• LikeExpr
• LteExpr
• LtExpr
• NeqExpr
• NotInExpr
• NotLikeExpr
• OrExpr
• PaginateExpr
• SortExpr

Above was listed the available query expressions, next you can see the use of expressions using the ExprBuilder and the ExprQueue., _(*11)

$expr->enqueue(new SortExpr('field', 'asc'));

Parser

The parser can be used to parse an input data in different formats to the ExprBuilder. Currently are available three parser classes that implements the ParserInterface., _(*26)

• ArrayParser
• RequestParser
• StringParser

ArrayParser

The ArrayParser can be used to parse the array data to ExprBuilder, see the example in the below:, _(*27)

<?php

use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Parser\ArrayParser;

$data = [
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'between',
        'value'      => '1-3',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'eq',
        'value'      => 'value',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'gte',
        'value'      => '1',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'gt',
        'value'      => '1',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'in',
        'value'      => [1, 2, 3],
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'like',
        'value'      => '%value',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'lte',
        'value'      => '1',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'lt',
        'value'      => '1',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'neq',
        'value'      => 'value',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'notin',
        'value'      => [1, 2, 3],
    ],
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'notlike',
        'value'      => '%value',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => '',
        'expression' => 'or',
        'value'      => 'field:eq:1|field:eq:2',
    ],
    [
        'field'      => '',
        'expression' => 'paginate',
        'value'      => '1-10',
    ]
    [
        'field'      => 'field',
        'expression' => 'sort',
        'value'      => 'asc',
    ],
];

$parser = new ArrayParser($data);

/**
 * @var $exprBuilder Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\ExprBuilder
 */
$exprBuilder = $parser->parse();

RequestParser

The RequestParser can be used to parse an input data that is an instance of RequestInterface (compatible with PSR-7), see the example in the below:, _(*28)

<?php

use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Parser\RequestParser;

// Suppose that your URI of the request is:
// http://www.yourdomain.com/?q[]=field:eq:1&q[]=field:eq:2

$parser = new RequestParser(
    $yourRequestObjectThatImplementsPSR7RequestInterface
);

// If you need customize the query string parameter key that will
// be used, then you can set the parameter key using the following
// method (key "q" is default)
// $parser->setQueryStringParameter('expr');

/**
 * @var $exprBuilder Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\ExprBuilder
 */
$exprBuilder = $parser->parse();

StringParser

The StringParser can be used to parse an input data that is a string, see the example in the below:, _(*29)

<?php

use Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\Parser\StringParser;

$data = ''
    . 'field:eq:1&'
    . 'field:eq:2&'
    . 'field:eq:3'
;

$parser = new StringParser($data);

// If you need customize the expression separator parameter key that will
// be used, then you can set the parameter key using the following
// method (key "&" is default)
// $parser->setSeparator('SEPARATOR');

/**
 * @var $exprBuilder Cekurte\Resource\Query\Language\ExprBuilder
 */
$exprBuilder = $parser->parse();
