Framework Awesome

First of all, please welcome the second developer to Eddy’s team, Matt (dVyper). He’s already started pushing some good changes and fixes to Eddy, including a dirty typo I made and some new functionality - the ability to use ‘IN’ in your Model::get() ‘WHERE’ clause!

Related to that, we’ve been phasing out string ‘WHERE’ clauses in favour of arrays as it allows us to apply some neat conveniences. But you can still use a string clause (for now), but you need to remember to escape any variables used in them, especially if they could be tampered with by user input.

We’ve also added a much-needed feature: explicit table referencing in models. This is so you can create models and make them work with a table that doesn’t match the name of the model. You may find that useful in some situations.

Roadmaps

This leads me to my next main point, roadmaps. I’ve tried to explain clearly on here in the past exactly what the goals are for Eddy’s development, but it just doesn’t cut it. So we’re giving Interstate a whirl. You can see our roadmap for Eddy by clicking on Roadmap in the menu.

If you want to get a quick eye on what we’re working on in Eddy or what we’ve got planned, take a look at the roadmap. If you want to suggest features or comment on any of the planned features, check out the Issues section on GitHub.

Well that’s all for now. Look out for more developments very soon!
