SQLite for Production. Powered by <a href="https://turso.tech/libsql">libSQL</a> and <a href="https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso-client-php/">libSQL Extension</a> for PHP.

LibSQL is a fork of SQLite and this package is #1 LibSQL Driver that run natively using LibSQL Native Extension/Driver/Whatever and support Laravel Ecosystem.

---

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
composer require tursodatabase/turso-driver-laravel
```

Then register the service provider at `bootstrap/providers.php` array:

```php
return [
    App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
    Turso\Driver\Laravel\LibSQLDriverServiceProvider::class, // Here
];
```

The package now include the `turso-php-installer`, so you can install the LibSQL Extension via artisan command:

```
php artisan turso-php:install
```

And you can read the all command using `php artisan | grep turso-php` or read the [manual](https://darkstation.mintlify.app/dark-extensions/tools/installer/reference)

## Laravel Sail

Don't worry, we also provide Laravel Sail step by step guide for you read: [Sailing with LibSQL](https://darkstation.mintlify.app/dark-extensions/tools/installer/platforms/laravel-sail)

## Environment Variable Overview

You need to know the additional configuration in `.env` file, which come from Laravel and which come from LibSQL Driver. And here is the overview of `.env`:

**Laravel**

```env
DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
```

-   `DB_CONNECTION` key is represent default database connection like `libsql`, `sqlite`, `mysql`, `mariadb`, `pgsql`, and `sqlsrv`.
-   `DB_DATABASE` key is represent the location of database name or in this case is database filename.

**LibSQL Driver**

```env
DB_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-database-auth-token-from-turso>
DB_SYNC_URL=<your-database-url-from-turso>
DB_SYNC_INTERVAL=5
DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES=true
DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
```

Create a new Turso Database [here](https://docs.turso.tech/quickstart)

### Environment Variables for Turso Driver

Below is a list of environment variables used to configure the Turso driver. Each variable plays a role in defining database connection and behavior:

-   **`DB_AUTH_TOKEN`**  
    You can generate this token using the following command:

```bash
 turso db tokens create <database-name>
 ```

Alternatively, visit your [Turso Dashboard](https://dashboard.turso.io), select the desired database, and generate the token from there.

-   **`DB_SYNC_URL`**  
    This URL is automatically generated by Turso when you create a new database. Retrieve the database URL using the command:

```bash
 turso db show --url <database-name>
 ```

-   **`DB_SYNC_INTERVAL`**  
    This variable defines the interval (in seconds) at which an embedded replica synchronizes with the primary database. It ensures automatic synchronization of the database in the background.  
    **Default:** `5 seconds`  
    **Use case:** Keeps replicas up-to-date with minimal manual intervention.

-   **`DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES`**  
    Ensures that writes made by a connection are immediately visible to subsequent reads from the same connection. This is vital for maintaining consistency in distributed systems.  
    **Default:** `true`  
    **Use case:** Guarantees clients always see their latest writes.

-   **`DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY`**  
    Specifies the encryption key used for database encryption. This key is critical for securing data at rest, ensuring only authorized individuals can decrypt the database content.  
    **Default:** Empty  
    **Use case:** Protects sensitive data stored on disk.

## Choose Your Connection Needs

**LibSQL** has **4 types of connections** to interact with the database: _In-Memory Connection_, _Local Connection_, _Remote Connection_, and _Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica)_

<details>
 <summary>💾 &mdash; In-Memory Connection</summary>
 To be able to use LibSQL in-memory as if you were using SQLite, simply change the following <code>.env</code>:
 <pre><code>DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=:memory:
 </code></pre>
</details>

<details>
 <summary>🖥 &mdash; Local Connection</summary>
 To be able to use LibSQL locally as if you were using SQLite, simply change the following <code>.env</code>:
 <pre><code>DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
 </code></pre>
 Ignore other LibSQL <code>.env</code> variables.
</details>

<details>
 <summary>🌏 &mdash; Remote Connection</summary>
 To use LibSQL Remote Connection only, you can define the following <code>.env</code> variables:
 <pre><code>DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_AUTH_TOKEN=&lt;your-database-auth-token-from-turso&gt;
DB_SYNC_URL=&lt;your-database-url-from-turso&gt;
 </code></pre>
</details>

<details>
 <summary>🌱 &mdash; Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica)</summary>
 To configure remote replica connection (embedded replica), you can simply use the following <code>.env</code>:
 <pre><code>DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
DB_AUTH_TOKEN=&lt;your-database-auth-token-from-turso&gt;
DB_SYNC_URL=&lt;your-database-url-from-turso&gt;
DB_SYNC_INTERVAL=5
DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES=true
DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
 </code></pre>
 That's it! How easy to make different connection using LibSQL Driver in Laravel, right?!
</details>

## Database Configuration

Add this configuration at `config/database.php` inside the `connections` array:

```php
'libsql' => [
    'driver' => 'libsql',
    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
    'prefix' => '',
    'url' => env('DB_SYNC_URL', ''),
    'authToken' => env('DB_AUTH_TOKEN', ''),
    'syncInterval' => env('DB_SYNC_INTERVAL', 5),
    'read_your_writes' => env('DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES', true),
    'encryptionKey' => env('DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY', ''),
],
```

> Copy and Paste and do not change it! Or try to change it and will broke your app or give you malfunction.

## Usage

For database operation usage, everything have same interface like usual when you using `Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB` in your database model. But remember, this is LibSQL they have `sync` method that can be used when you connect with Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica).

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

// Create
DB::table('users')->insert([
    'name' => 'Budi Dalton',
    'email' => 'budi.dalton@duck.com'
]);

// Read
DB::table('users')->get();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 2)->first();
DB::table('users')->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->limit(2)->get();

// Update
DB::table('users')->where('id', 2)->update(['name' => 'Doni Mandala']);

// Delete
DB::table('users')->where('id', 2)->delete();

// Transaction
try {
    DB::beginTransaction();

$updated = DB::table('users')->where('id', 9)->update(['name' => 'Doni Kumala']);

if ($updated) {
        echo "It's updated";
        DB::commit();
    } else {
        echo "Not updated";
        DB::rollBack();
    }

$data = DB::table('users')->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->limit(2)->get();
    dump($data);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    DB::rollBack();
    echo "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage();
}

// Sync
DB::sync();
```
