RedBean ORM

[eluser]Boris Strahija[/eluser]
I had some time today and I got RedBean working with CI. It was actually very simple. I'm sure there's a better way but this one works for me just fine. So here's my sollution if anyone is interested:

1. I put all the RedBean files into /app/thirdparty/redbean/
2. Create a library (/app/libraries/redbean.php), and put this code into the constructor

Code:

$this->ci =& get_instance();

// Include database configuration
include(APPPATH.'/config/database.php');

// Include required files
include(APPPATH.'/thirdparty/redbean/redbean.inc.php');

// Database data
$hostname     = $db[$active_group]['hostname'];
$username     = $db[$active_group]['username'];
$password     = $db[$active_group]['password'];
$database     = $db[$active_group]['database'];

// Create RedBean instance
$toolbox = RedBean_Setup::kickstartDev('mysql:host='.$hostname.';dbname='.$database, $username, $password);
$this->ci->rb = $toolbox->getRedBean();

3. Then in your controller you can do stuff like this:

Code:

$post = $this->rb->dispense("post");
$post->title = 'My first post from CodeIgniter';
$post->body ='Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit....';
$post->created = time();
$id = $this->rb->store($post);

Ant that's it. Haven't tested it much but everything seems to work.
If someone has a better sollution just let me know
