Database Connection (DBAL Module)

We can use Ecotone's Laravel integration to reuse Connections that are already defined in your Application.

Using Existing Laravel Connection [Recommended]

In "config/database.php" we do have list of available connections in our Laravel Application, for example:

'connections' => [
    'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
    ],
(...)

with this using ServiceContext we may tell Ecotone to use this Connection:

class EcotoneConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext]
    public function laravelConnection(): LaravelConnectionReference
    {
        return LaravelConnectionReference::defaultConnection('mysql');
    }
}

Reusing same connection as we use in Application, ensures database transactions will be rolled back correctly in case of any failure. It's all we need to configure. Ecotone will now know to use "mysql" as default.

Using DSN

If we don't have existing connection defined, we can make use of DSN directly

# Register Service in Provider

use Enqueue\Dbal\DbalConnectionFactory;
use Ecotone\Dbal\DbalConnection;

public function register()
{
     $this->app->singleton(DbalConnectionFactory::class, function () {
         return DbalConnection::fromDsn('pgsql://user:password@host:5432/db_name');
     });
}
