Record Laravel Package

psx/record

psx/record is a lightweight PHP record abstraction that maps database rows to objects and provides CRUD, querying, and relation handling. It integrates with PSX components and SQL backends for simple, model-driven persistence.

Product Decisions This Supports

  • Build vs. buy: Strongly favors build/native PHP over adding a dependency. The package is a thin “Data HashMap” utility; PHP arrays and Laravel’s Illuminate\Support\Collection already cover most map/collection needs.
  • Feature delivery: May support small internal features requiring explicit put/get/containsKey-style semantics, but it is not a differentiator and should not drive roadmap priorities.
  • Roadmap impact: Minimal. This is infrastructure plumbing, not a customer-facing capability, and it should not be scheduled as a strategic initiative.
  • Use cases: Best suited to PSX-framework-adjacent code, legacy interoperability, or cases where a Java-like HashMap abstraction is explicitly desired. For typical Laravel product work, native arrays and Collections are simpler and safer.
  • Adoption risk: With 2 stars, 0 dependents, and a very low package score, adopting it introduces maintenance and bus-factor risk disproportionate to its utility.

When to Consider This Package

  • Consider only if: your application is already using the PSX ecosystem and needs the specific HashMap implementation this package provides, or you have a narrow, well-understood need for its API semantics.
  • Evaluate carefully if: you require explicit map operations such as put, get, and containsKey, and you are willing to accept a very-low-adoption dependency under Apache-2.0.
  • Look elsewhere if: you are building a standard Laravel application. Prefer native PHP arrays, Illuminate\Support\Collection, Illuminate\Support\Arr, or a mature collections library.
  • Avoid if: the package would sit on a critical path, require long-term support, or need active community maintenance. The adoption signals do not justify that risk.
  • Engineering check: confirm the package is compatible with your PHP/Laravel versions, review its code and tests, and verify whether the same behavior can be implemented internally in a few lines.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

  • For executives: This is a tiny, low-adoption utility package, not a strategic platform dependency. It does not warrant budget, roadmap focus, or vendor-risk acceptance. Native PHP/Laravel capabilities are sufficient for nearly all product needs.
  • For engineering: Treat it as an optional PSX-ecosystem convenience, not a default Laravel building block. If a team needs HashMap-style behavior, first use arrays or Collections; if the PSX-specific type is genuinely required, isolate it behind an internal interface and review the code before adoption.
  • Recommendation: Do not adopt for general Laravel product development. Consider only for narrow PSX interoperability, and otherwise build the minimal map behavior internally to avoid an unnecessary dependency.
