WP Query Builder

A lightweight and efficient SQL query builder for WordPress.

This is a fork of the original project (https://github.com/sultann/wp-query-builder) which appears to be unmaintained.

Installation

WP Query Builder uses PSR-4 autoloading and can be installed using composer:

$ composer require wp-forge/wp-query-builder

Documentation

Initialization

The init method takes a string argument. You can use that later to use actions/filters specific to your query builder instance.

Without argument.

$query = \WP_Forge\QueryBuilder\Query::init();

With argument

$query = \WP_Forge\QueryBuilder\Query::init('query_users');

Select

This will build the query, execute and returns all users from users table with applying table prefix automatically. by default, it selects all(*) but you can define what to select from the query; If you are selecting all then you can omit the select statement.

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('users')
                 ->get();

Select specific column

$results = $query->select('ID')
                 ->from('users')
                 ->get();

Select multiple column

$results = $query->select('user_login, user_email')
                 ->from('users')
                 ->get();

Where conditions

For the next few examples, lets assume a larger dataset so that the queries make sense.

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('users')
                 ->where('user_email', 'like', '%gmail.com')
                 ->get();

Notice how omitting the operator in the first condition ->where('user_url', '') makes this default to =. By default all where conditions are defined with the and operator.

Different where operators:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('users')
                 ->where('user_email', 'like', '%gmail.com')
                 ->orWhere('user_email', 'like', '%yahoo.com')
                 ->get();

There are few more builtin Where conditions available

andWhere()
whereIn()
whereNotIn()
whereNull()
whereNotNull()
orWhereNull()
orWhereNotNull()
whereBetween()
whereNotBetween()
whereDateBetween()
whereRaw()

Where scopes

Allow you to group conditions:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->where('post_status', 'publish')
                ->where(function($q) 
                {
                    $q->where('menu_order', '>', 21);
                    $q->where('menu_order', '<', 99);
                })
                ->orWhere('post_type', 'page')
                ->get();

Where Between

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->whereBetween('menu_order', 1, 20)
                 ->get();

Where Not Between

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->whereNotBetween('menu_order', 20, 30)
                 ->get();

Where Date Between

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->whereDateBetween('post_date',  '2010-04-22 10:16:21', '2020-05-04')
                 ->get();

Joins

By default, all joins are Left Join. Available join types 'LEFT', 'RIGHT', 'INNER', 'CROSS', 'LEFT OUTER', 'RIGHT OUTER' Joining tables:

$results = $query->select( '*' )
                ->from( 'posts p' )
                ->join( 'users u', 'u.ID', '=','p.post_author' )
                ->get();

Joins scopes

Allow you to group conditions:

$results = $query->select( '*' )
                ->from( 'posts p' )
                ->join( 'users u', 'u.ID', '=','p.post_author' )
                ->join('usermeta um', function($q) {
                      $q->where('um.meta_key', 'first_name');
                      $q->where('um.met_value', 'like', '%sultan%');
                  })
                ->get();

There are few more builtin join conditions available

leftJoin()
rightJoin()
innerJoin()
outerJoin()

Grouping

Grouping data:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->group_by('post_status')
                ->get();

Having

Group by with having data:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->group_by('post_status')
                ->having('count(ID)>1')
                ->get();

Ordering

Ordering data:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->order_by('post_title', 'DESC')
                ->get();

Limiting data

Limit and offset:

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->limit(20, 10)
                ->get();

Only limit

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->limit(20)
                ->get();

Offset as separate

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->limit(20)
                ->offset(10)
                ->get();

Pagination

shortcut of limit and offset

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                ->page(1, 20)//page number & page size
                ->get();

Find

find item with column value

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->find(1, 'ID');

First

Get first item from the posts table

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->first();

Last

Get last item from the posts table

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->last();

Counting

count total rows

$results = $query->select('*')
                 ->from('posts')
                 ->count();

toSql

Out the query instead of executing

$results = $query->from('posts as p')
                ->join('users as u',  'p.post_author', 'u.ID')
                ->join('usermeta um', function($q) {
                      $q->where('um.meta_key', 'first_name');
                      $q->where('um.met_value', 'like', '%sultan%');
                  })
                ->toSql();

Update

Update a row

$results = $query->table('posts')
                 ->where('ID', 20)
                 ->update(['post_title' => 'updated']);

Delete

Delete a row

$results = $query->from('posts')
                ->where('ID', 20)
