DBML parser written on PHP8

DBML (Database Markup Language) is a domain-specific language (DSL) designed to define database structures in a simple and readable format.

Note

This page has all the info on how it works. Check out https://www.dbml.org for more info.

We were inspired by the cool service at https://dbdiagram.io/ to create this parser. It's super useful for visualizing databases and we thought it'd be great to use it to build schema and then turn it into an object tree for generating things like CycleORM entity schemas, Laravel models, and migrations.

To parse DBML, we used a handy PHP package called https://phplrt.org.

Features

• DBML parser

Requirements

• PHP 8.0 and above

Quick start

To install the package, run the following command from the root directory of your project:

composer require butschster/dbml-parser

That's it!

Usage

use Butschster\Dbml\DbmlParserFactory;

$parser = DbmlParserFactory::create();

$schema = $parser->parse(<<<DBML

        database_type: 'PostgreSQL'
