Datastore Driver for Laravel

A package for using google datastore as a database driver.

---

By using this package, you can use query builder and eloquent to access data from datastore.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require appsero/laravel-datastore

If you are using Laravel Package Auto-Discovery, you don't need you to manually add the ServiceProvider.

Without auto-discovery:

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the below ServiceProvider to the $providers array in config/app.php file.

Appsero\LaravelDatastore\DatastoreServiceProvider::class,

Roadmap

• Data read using query builder (available).
• Data read using eloquent model (available).
• Data insert (available).
• Data update (Using query builder, model coming soon).
• Data delete (available).
• Cursor Paginate (soon).
• Relations (soon).

Usage

You need to add datastore connection in config/database.php file.

'connections' => [
    ...
    'datastore' => [
        'driver' => 'datastore',
        'key_file_path' => env('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS', 'gcloud-credentials.json'),
        'prefix' => env('DATASTORE_PREFIX', null),
    ],
    ...
],

Access using Eloquent Model

You need to extend Appsero\LaravelDatastore\Eloquent\Model class instead of laravel's default eloquent model class.

Example-

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Appsero\LaravelDatastore\Eloquent\Model;

class Project extends Model
{
    // Your works here
}

Access using Query Builder

Example-

DB::connection('datastore')
    ->table('projects')
    ->where('project_id', '>', 5)
    ->skip(3)
    ->take(5)
    ->get();

It will return a collection.

• limit
• take
• skip
• orderBy
• get
• simplePaginate
• paginate (works same as simplePaginate)
