README

RedBeanPHP is an easy to use ORM tool for PHP.

• Automatically creates tables and columns as you go
• No configuration, just fire and forget
• No complicated package tools, no autoloaders, just ONE file

Installation via Composer

Just open your composer.json file and add the package name (e.g. "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master") in your require list.

{
    "require": {
        "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master"
    }
}

NOTE: You will find many examples on the RedBean website make use of RedBean's R class. Because of namespaced autoloading in Composer, this class will be available as \RedbeanPHP\R instead of R. If you desire to use the much shorter R alias, you can add a use statement at the beginning of your code:

use \RedBeanPHP\R as R;

If you are not using Composer then try it.

Quick Example

How we store a book object with RedBeanPHP:

$book = R::dispense("book");
$book->author = "Santa Claus";
$book->title = "Secrets of Christmas";
$id = R::store( $book );

Yep, it's that simple.
