# abarorm

| ![abarorm Logo](https://prodbygodfather.github.io/abarorm/images/logo.png) | **abarorm** is a lightweight and easy-to-use Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases in Python. It provides a simple and intuitive interface for managing database models and interactions. |
|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

## Features

- Define models using Python classes
- Automatically handle database schema creation and management
- Support for basic CRUD operations
- Foreign key relationships
- Custom field types with validation and constraints
- **New in v1.0.0**: Automatic table creation and updates without needing explicit `create_table()` calls
- **New in v2.0.0**: Added support for PostgreSQL databases
- **New in v2.0.0**: Ordering by fields on `all()` method


## Installation

You can install **abarorm** from PyPI using pip:

```bash
pip install abarorm
```
For MySQL support, you also need to install `mysql-connector-python`:

```bash
pip install mysql-connector-python
```
For PostgreSQL support, you need to install `psycopg2-binary`:
```bash
pip install psycopg2-binary
```


## Basic Usage
Here’s a quick overview of how to use **abarorm** to define models and interact with an SQLite or MySQL database.

## Documentation
For detailed documentation, examples, and advanced usage, please visit the [official abarorm documentation website](https://prodbygodfather.github.io/abarorm/).

## Version 2.0.0 Notes
PostgreSQL Support: abarorm now supports PostgreSQL databases in addition to SQLite and MySQL.
Automatic Table Management: Tables are created or updated automatically based on model definitions without manual intervention.
Important for Developers: When adding new fields to models, they will default to `NULL`. It’s recommended to recreate the database schema after development is complete to ensure fields have appropriate constraints and default values.
