Cycle ORM VS PsySH

From the same developers :

PHP framework : https://spiral.dev/

ORM library : https://cycle-orm.dev/

The language is not that important, if you know Php, you learn another one in weeks (not you, Rust!) important and source of income is the knowledge of Design patterns and for what implementation to use which specific Pattern. PHP have a great ecosystem regarding design patterns. As there are the psr. Mostly, the Frameworks implement these recommendations: - dependency injection in Symfony, yii and spiral - Data Mapper implemented in doctrine or in cycle-orm.

Either use PDO directly, use Doctrine DBAL (not ORM) or if you need an ORM, check out Cycle ORM which is completely dynamic and supports configuration on-the-fly.

Doctrine is my preferred ORM, being both powerful and battle-tested. There's a relatively new one lately called Cycle but I don't know anything about it other than that it's also a datamapper like Doctrine. Looks pretty decent from the docs tho.

It uses the (H)MVC model, anti-leak DI container, DataMapper ORM (https://github.com/cycle/orm), Symfony components, and RoadRunner (https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner) as an app server (which we also created).

psysh is an interactive shell that enables developers to explore and experiment with PHP code without the need to write the source code for an entire application. It provides a simple and user-friendly shell interface where you can enter PHP code and instantly observe the results. Also, psysh is a configurable tool equipped with various plugins and modules. Therefore, you can customize it the way you want.

Tinker is a REPL built over psysh which is a general-purpose REPL for PHP. Since a Laravel application is not plain PHP and has states, databases, caches, events, and many more complex resources specific to the framework, it's not possible to interact with the application the way one would expect just using psysh.

Why choose when you can have both in one https://psysh.org/ lol... I testdrove it once, but not convinced (I think the "merged" 2-languages-in-1 is pretty funny but maybe it works for some people).

Would love to see https://psysh.org incorporated in core.

It does! Or rather it used to (and still does for some things) but looks like it broke for stdout and return value dumping a couple of years ago.

PsySH offers a dev console and interactive debugger for PHP projects. In effect, this repo creates a REPL platform for PHP developers.

psysh is a killer tool in situations like this.

Yes, check out psysh https://psysh.org
