Hello Punk! Yes I am again, I am Software Freestyle Engineer, I just released Turso Driver for Laravel.
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.
Requirement
Before using this package, you need to install and configure LibSQL Native Extension for PHP. You can download from Turso Client PHP - Release
- Download based on you distribution (Linux/Macos/Darwin/Windows)
- The archive is contains the extension and
libsql_php_extension.stubs.php
- Save the extension file in your desire directory
- Save the
libsql_php_extension.stubs.php
in your project or somewhare that can help you to use stand-alone LibSQL driver as an IDE helper. By default this stubs is come inside this package. - Configure
php.ini
file and added the extension address with relative path that pointed to the extension - Enjoy!
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require tursodatabase/turso-driver-laravel
You can register the service provider in bootstrap/providers.php
:
<?php
return [
App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
Turso\Driver\Laravel\LibSQLDriverServiceProvider::class, // Here
];
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
DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
-
DB_CONNECTION
key is represent default database connection likelibsql
,sqlite
,mysql
,mariadb
,pgsql
, andsqlsrv
. -
DB_DATABASE
key is represent the location of database name or in this case is database filename.
LibSQL Driver
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=
DB_REMOTE_ONLY=false
Create a new Turso Database here
-
DB_AUTH_TOKEN
- You can generate usingturso db tokens create <database-name>
command or you can visit your Turso Dashboard and select database you want to used and generate the token from there. -
DB_SYNC_URL
- This generate by Turso when you craete a new database, you can get the database URL by using this commandturso db show --url <database-name>
-
DB_SYNC_INTERVAL
- This variable defines the interval at which an embedded replica synchronizes with the primary database. It sets a duration for automatic synchronization of the database in the background. When configured, the embedded replica will periodically sync its local state with the state of the primary database to ensure it has the latest data. This is particularly useful for ensuring that replicas remain up-to-date with minimal manual intervention. Default is: 5 seconds. -
DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES
- This variable configures the database connection to ensure that writes made by a connection are immediately visible to subsequent read operations initiated by the same connection. This is important in distributed systems to ensure consistency from the perspective of the writing process. When enabled, after a write operation is performed, any reads that follow from the same connection will see the results of that write. This option is typically enabled by default to ensure that clients always see their latest writes. -
DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY
- This variable is defined for specifying the encryption key used in database encryption. It represents the secret key that is used to encrypt and decrypt the database content, ensuring that the data stored in the database is protected and can only be accessed by individuals who possess the correct key. This key is a critical component of encryption-at-rest strategies, where the goal is to secure data while it is stored on disk, preventing unauthorized access. Default is: empty. -
DB_REMOTE_ONLY
- This variable is define to use remote connection only, if you only want to read and write the database from remote database. Default: false.
Configure The Connection
LibSQL has 3 types of connections to interact with the database: Local Connection, Remote Connection, and Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica)
Local Connection
To be able to use LibSQL locally as if you were using SQLite, simply change the following .env
:
DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
Ignore other LibSQL .env
variables.
Remote Connection
To use LibSQL Remote Connection only, you can define the following .env
variables:
DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-database-auth-token-from-turso>
DB_SYNC_URL=<your-database-url-from-turso>
DB_REMOTE_ONLY=true
Remote Replica Connection (Embedded Replica)
To configure remote replica connection (embedded replica), you can simply use the following .env
:
DB_CONNECTION=libsql
DB_DATABASE=database.sqlite
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=
DB_REMOTE_ONLY=false
That's it! How easy to make different connection using LibSQL Driver in Laravel, right?!
Database Configuration
Add this configuration at config/database.php
inside the connections
array:
'libsql' => [
'driver' => 'libsql',
'url' => 'file:' . env('DB_DATABASE', database_path('database.sqlite')),
'authToken' => env('DB_AUTH_TOKEN', ''),
'syncUrl' => env('DB_SYNC_URL', ''),
'syncInterval' => env('DB_SYNC_INTERVAL', 5),
'read_your_writes' => env('DB_READ_YOUR_WRITES', true),
'encryptionKey' => env('DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY', ''),
'remoteOnly' => env('DB_REMOTE_ONLY', false),
'database' => null,
'prefix' => '',
],
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).
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
// Create
DB::table('users')->create([
'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();

I was thinking on making a Doctrine driver for it. But my knowledge is not enough for it :P
Your dream come true! @andersonpem
You're the best 🚀
I will try to support DBAL docrine but I don't know yet how to create or porting something into symfony 😂
