Interest in a Mezzio/Cycle ORM Integration Package?

[puzzledpolymath]

Hello maintainers,

I've been using Mezzio extensively and have developed a private library that provides integration between Mezzio and Cycle ORM, including support for:

• Cycle ORM configuration and bootstrapping
• Database abstraction integration
• Migration management
• Identifier generation via behaviors.
• Dependency injection wiring suitable for Mezzio applications

The library has been used successfully in my own projects, and I've continued maintaining it as the underlying packages have evolved.

Before open-sourcing it independently, I wanted to gauge whether there would be any interest from the Mezzio ecosystem in having such a package developed under the Mezzio (or broader Laminas) umbrella, or as a community-supported integration project.

I'm not looking to hand off responsibility; I'm happy to:

• Open-source the code
• Continue contributing and maintaining it
• Align it with project standards and release processes
• Work with maintainers on scope and direction

At this stage I'm mainly seeking feedback on:

• Whether a Mezzio / Cycle ORM integration package would be considered valuable to the ecosystem.
• Whether there is interest in hosting or endorsing such a package under the project's umbrella.
• Any architectural or governance considerations I should be aware of before sharing the code publicly.

If there is interest, I'd be happy to provide the repository, documentation, examples, and implementation details for review.

Thanks for your time, and for all the work you do on Mezzio and the surrounding ecosystem.

Sorry for the very late response but unfortunately, I wasn’t notified of the post, or it simply got completely lost in the mix.

Personally, I use sirix/cycle-orm-factory for the easy integration of Cycle-ORM into Mezzio applications. The quality of the package is excellent and it is regularly developed further.
The developer provides many more packages, and we have listed quite a few of them on our integration page: https://getlaminas.org/integrations/?q=sirix

Before open-sourcing it independently, I wanted to gauge whether there would be any interest from the Mezzio ecosystem in having such a package developed under the Mezzio (or broader Laminas) umbrella, or as a community-supported integration project.

I must admit that we have our hands full with the existing components and I don’t currently know of anyone on the team who uses Cycle ORM.
But I’m also working on a plan for a new quick start tutorial for Mezzio, and Cycle ORM is included in the plans alongside Doctrine, so this integration option is already on the table. 😃

If there is interest, I'd be happy to provide the repository, documentation, examples, and implementation details for review.

I’d be interested, but I’d still advise you to publish your project independently. And of course, we’d be happy to list your package.
Have a look at the sirix package as well.
