Bella: Fleshing out the internals

• 1 min read •
#php #project 
// Chaining methods 
$short = $users['completed']->count()->to_sql();

// Expanded version
$node = new NodeSQLLiteral('users.completed');
$count = $node->count();

$visitor = new SQLVisitor();
$expanded = $visitor->accept($count);

// Both examples produce: COUNT(users.completed)

I decided to go in a completely different direction with the code on this project. The previous example I posted yesterday was flexible. The last 24 hours has been a lot of theory. I have been deconstructing Arel and slowly porting it too PHP. The goal of this project is to provide a PHP equivalent of Arel.
