Database | WordPress MVC

Database

WordPress MVC does not include a database abstraction layer by default. Instead, it integrates seamlessly with WordPress’ native $wpdb API and allows optional use of external packages for more expressive query building. For structured and fluent SQL queries, the framework recommends the separate 10quality/wp-query-builder package, which can be installed via Composer and used independently within your application.

📄️ Query Builder

WordPress MVC (WPMVC) does not include an ORM or expressive database layer out of the box, but it fully supports using an optional fluent SQL query builder for structured database interactions. The recommended package for this purpose is 10quality/wp-query-builder, a standalone Composer library that provides a fluent, chainable API to build and execute SQL queries on top of WordPress's database layer.

📄️ Custom Models

WordPress MVC (WPMVC) allows you to work with custom database tables using the traits included in the 10quality/wp-query-builder package.
