Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We extracted the database functionality from it and made it available for other frameworks.

The Illuminate Database component is a full database toolkit for PHP, providing an expressive query builder, ActiveRecord style ORM, and schema builder. It currently supports MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL Server, and SQLite. We combined it with Illuminate FileSystem and Illuminate Console to make Artisan work with database related commands.

Installation

Install Composer

Laravel Database utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. First, download a copy of the composer.phar. Once you have the PHAR archive, you can either keep it in your local project directory or move to usr/local/bin to use it globally on your system. On Windows, you can use the Composer Windows installer.

Install Laravel Database

Install Laravel Database by issuing the Composer create-project command in your terminal:

composer create-project laravel/database --prefer-dist

Usage Instructions

From your public index.php include the autoload.php in bootstrap folder this internally uses composer autoloader. This enables lazy loading of all db related classes. It doest not boot the database engine until you call one of the DB related class.

Adding More Components
