A Redbean ORM bridge for Laravel 5

Installation

Require this package

composer require laravel-redbean/orm

After adding the package, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

LaravelRedbean\ORM\RedbeanServiceProvider::class,

To publish the config use:

php artisan vendor:publish

Usage

By default, Redbean will use the default connection in config/database.php.

You can now use Redbean as normal. Please read the Redbean documentation.

Multiple Connections

You can use multiple database connections by setting multiple_connections => true, in config/redbean.php which will then attempt to add each of connections in config/database.php.

By passing in the connection name from connections to RedBeanPHP\R::selectDatabase('connection_name'); you will get the connection you want. So for example, if you wanted to connect to mysql:

'connections' => [

        'sqlite' => [
            'driver'   => 'sqlite',
            'database' => database_path('database.sqlite'),
            'prefix'   => '',
        ],

        'mysql' => [
            'driver'    => 'mysql',
            'host'      => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
            'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
            'strict'    => false,
        ],

    ],

Select mysql connection:

RedBeanPHP\R::selectDatabase('mysql');

Authentication

The package provides a default User model (LaravelRedbean\ORM\User::class) you can use or create your own based on it.

Implementing Authenticatable

Your user model must extend RedBeanPHP\SimpleModel and implement the Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable contract.

You may also use the provided trait LaravelRedbean\ORM\Auth\Authenticatable in your model and override where necessary.

Configuring Laravel

Edit Laravel's Auth configuration (/config/auth.php) to use with Redbean.

Set the users provider to the following:

'users' => [
    'driver' => 'redbean',
    'model' => LaravelRedbean\ORM\User::class,
],

Password resets

Your user model must implement the Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword contract.

You may also use the provided trait LaravelRedbean\ORM\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword in your model and override where necessary.
