Installation

Even though most applications rely on data in a database, the database component is not one of the core components in SlaxWeb Framework. Installation is done simply as any other component with the Slaxer Command Line tool.

The database component requires a sub-component to be installed, currently only database-pdo sub-component is available, and uses PHP Data Objects for interaction with the database engine. This part of documentation will cover only this sub-component, even when different sub-components are made available.

To install simply start the component installation with Slaxer:

./slaxer component install database

And follow the on screen instructions to install the database-pdo sub-component. Once everything is installed, move to the next section of this documentation to set up a connection to the database.
