A Turso database driver for Laravel
This package provides a Turso database driver for Laravel, allowing you to use Turso as your database backend in Laravel applications. The driver communicates with the Turso database server using an HTTP client.
You can find a demo application that uses this Turso database driver in the richan-fongdasen/pingcrm repository.
Requirements
- PHP 8.2 or higher
- Laravel 11.0 or higher
- Node.js 16 or higher
Installation
You can install the package via Composer:
composer require richan-fongdasen/turso-laravel
To use Turso as your database driver in Laravel, append the following configuration to the connections
array in your config/database.php
file:
'turso' => [
'driver' => 'turso',
'db_url' => env('DB_URL', 'http://localhost:8080'),
'access_token' => env('DB_ACCESS_TOKEN'),
'db_replica' => env('DB_REPLICA'),
'database' => null, // Leave this null
'prefix' => env('DB_PREFIX', ''),
'foreign_key_constraints' => env('DB_FOREIGN_KEYS', true),
'sticky' => env('DB_STICKY', true),
],
Publishing Configuration and Sync Script
Publish the configuration file and sync script by running the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RichanFongdasen\Turso\TursoLaravelServiceProvider"
The above command publishes the following files:
config/turso-laravel.php
turso-sync.mjs
The content of the config/turso-laravel.php
file should look like this:
return [
'client' => [
'connect_timeout' => env('TURSO_CONNECT_TIMEOUT', 2),
'timeout' => env('TURSO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT', 5),
],
'sync_command' => [
'node_path' => env('NODE_PATH'), // Full path to the node executable. E.g: /usr/bin/node
'script_filename' => 'turso-sync.mjs',
'script_path' => realpath(__DIR__ . '/..'),
'timeout' => 60,
],
];
You may need to set the NODE_PATH
environment variable to the path of your Node.js executable. This is required to run the sync script.
Installing Node.js Dependencies
The Turso database driver requires Node.js to run the sync script. Install the Node.js dependencies by running the following command:
npm install @libsql/client
Configuration
In Laravel applications, the database driver configuration is stored in your .env
file. Here are the available configurations for the Turso database driver:
DB_CONNECTION=turso
DB_URL=http://localhost:8080
DB_ACCESS_TOKEN=
DB_REPLICA=
DB_PREFIX=
DB_FOREIGN_KEYS=true
DB_STICKY=true
ENV Variable Name | Description |
---|---|
DB_URL | The Turso database server URL. E.g: https://[databaseName]-[organizationName].turso.io |
DB_ACCESS_TOKEN | (Optional) The access token to access the Turso database server. |
DB_REPLICA | (Optional) The full path to the local embedded replica database file. E.g: /tmp/turso.sqlite |
DB_PREFIX | (Optional) The database table prefix. |
DB_FOREIGN_KEYS | Enable or disable foreign key constraints, default is true . |
DB_STICKY | Enable or disable sticky connections while performing write operations, default is true . |
Usage
For local development, you can use the local Turso database server provided by the Turso team. Refer to the Turso CLI documentation for instructions on running the local Turso database server.
The Turso database driver should work as expected with Laravel's Query Builder and Eloquent ORM. Here are some examples:
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
// Using Query Builder
$users = DB::table('users')->orderBy('name')->get();
// Using Eloquent ORM
$users = User::with('posts')->orderBy('name')->get();
Embedded Replica Support
The driver supports the embedded replica feature. If you're unfamiliar with this feature, refer to the Turso embedded replica article for more information.
Running the sync script from artisan command
Run the sync script manually using the following Artisan command:
php artisan turso:sync
You may encounter an error if the path to the replica database does not exist. This is expected when the replica database has not been created yet.
Running the sync script programmatically
Run the sync script programmatically using the following code:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use RichanFongdasen\Turso\Facades\Turso;
if ( DB::hasModifiedRecords() ) {
// Run the sync script immediately
Turso::sync();
// Run the sync script in the background
Turso::backgroundSync();
}
Debugging
To debug the HTTP requests and responses sent and received by the Turso database client, enable the debugging feature as follows:
Turso::enableQueryLog();
DB::table('users')->get();
// Get the query log
$logs = Turso::getQueryLog();
