Factory

Factory provides an in memory cache of objects with a type, key, value store system. This is enabled by default for Resource.

---

Use with Resource

When objects are loaded from the database using the load method they are automatically added to the factory cache.

$user = User::o(1);
$user->name = 'new name';

$user = User::o(1); // load the item from memory instead of another database call
echo $user->name; // prints "new name"

Standalone usage

The factory method gets or sets an object by classname, or passed object

$object = new User([
	id => 1
]);

$u = $tipsy->factory($object);
// or
$u = $tipsy->factory('User', $object);

Disabling

Disable in php

$tipsy->config(['tipsy' => ['factory' => false]]);

or in a config file

tipsy:
  factory: false
