Laravel MySQLite is meant to be used in conjunction with Laravel. It is a database connection that adds select functions from MySQL to SQLite.

1. Execute composer require spam-n-eggs/laravel-mysqlite or alternatively composer require --dev spam-n-eggs/laravel-mysqlite

In order to reduce clutter it is preferable to create a separate Service Provider

1. If there is a need to conditionally register the Service (i.e. you only use it in testing) create a new class in app/Providers that extends Mhorninger\SQLite\MySQLiteServiceProvider

   <?php
   namespace App\Providers;
   
   use Mhorninger\SQLite\MySQLiteServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
   
   class MySQLiteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
   {
       public function register()
       {
           if ($shouldRegister) {
               parent::register();
           }
       }
   }

2. Add a line to app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php within the register() method:

   $this->app->register(MySQLiteServiceProvider::class);

• UTC_TIMESTAMP

• DIV

• bit_or (int ...)

• convert_tz(date, fromTimezone, toTimezone)
• date_add(date, INTERVAL <number_of> <interval_specifier>)
  • Ported Interval Specifiers
    • SECOND
    • MINUTE
    • HOUR
    • DAY
    • WEEK
    • MONTH
    • YEAR
  • Differences
    • All DATE_ADD calls bring back the entire date time as opposed to just the short date.
• date_format(date, format)
  • Un-ported Format Strings: %U, %V, %X
  • Other Limitations: %j is off by 1 day.
• hour(time)
• minute(time)
• now()
• timestampdiff(timeUnit, startTimeStamp, endTimeStamp)
• time_to_sec(timeExpression)
• timediff(timeExpression1, timeExpression2)
• to_days(date)
• unix_timestamp(date = null)
• utc_timestamp()
• weekday(date)

• if(condition, onTrue, onFalse)

• mod(number, divisor)
  • Limitations - Support for Standard MOD(N,M) and N % M notation only. N MOD M is not supported.
• rand()
• sqrt(value)

• concat(string ...)
• concat_ws(separator, string ...)
• format(number, decimals, locale = 'en_US')
• lpad(string, length, pad)
• rpad(string, length, pad)
• left(string, length)
• right(string, length)

• inet_ntoa(ipAddress)

• least(mixed ...)

While this package aims to cover common functionality, there are times when you need support for a function quickly or a custom function that is unique to your application. This is easy to do with two methods from the boot() method of your service provider class:

<?php

class MySQLiteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    ...

    public function boot()
    {
        $connection = $this->app->get('db')->connection();
        
        if ($connection->getDriverName() === 'sqlite') {
            $connection
                ->addRewriteRule('/CURDATE\(\)/', "date('now')")
                ->addFunction('CURDATE', fn() => CarbonImmutable::today()->toDateString(), 0);
        }
    }
}

• addRewriteRule() will replace a string in your query using regex, should Sqlite have a native function that could be used as a 1:1 replacement.
• addFunction() uses PDO sqliteCreateFunction() to register a custom function with PHP in the event that Sqlite doesn't have a drop-in replacement or if logic is more complicated. Read More.
