Cycle ORM provides the ability to carry data over the StdClass objects by using Cycle\ORM\Mapper\StdMapper
with \Cycle\ORM\Reference\Promise objects for relations with lazy loading.
use Cycle\ORM\Schema;
use Cycle\ORM\Mapper\StdMapper;
$orm = $orm->with(schema: new Schema([
'user' => [
Schema::MAPPER => StdMapper::class,
Schema::DATABASE => 'default',
Schema::TABLE => 'user',
Schema::PRIMARY_KEY => 'id',
Schema::COLUMNS => [
// property => column
'id' => 'id',
'email' => 'email',
'balance' => 'balance'
],
Schema::TYPECAST => [
'id' => 'int',
'balance' => 'float'
],
Schema::RELATIONS => []
]
]));
$user = $this->orm->make('user'); // stdClass object
$user->email = 'user@site.com';
$user->balance = 1500;
(new EntityManager($orm))->persist($user)->run();
Note: If you want to create entity object manually like
$user = new \stdClass(), you have to add this objects to ORM Heap, otherwise Entity Manager won't persist the entity.
$repository = $orm->getRepository('user');
$user = $repository->findByPK(1);
var_dump($user); // stdClass object
