What is a Kipchak Driver?

Kipchak Drivers are used to connect Kipchak to various data sources or storage systems.

They provide a standardized interface for interacting with different data sources, allowing developers to focus on building their applications rather than dealing with the complexities of each data source.

Drivers were introduced as a part of the Kipchak 2.0 release.

Drivers are basically Container Dependencies injected into Kipchak's Service Container.

How do Kipchak Drivers work?

Kipchak drivers are wired into the Service Container via a config file (where required).

Each driver defines an implementation of Kipchak's Driver Interface. Where applicable, the dependency may accept a parameter for a specific instance of the driver specified as a onfig property, for instance, in the case of multiple database connections or S3 buckets.

So you may access the driver by invoking \Mamluk\Kipchak\Driver\Http\Driver::get('default'), where default is the name of the connection specified in the config file.

NOTE: This driver does not require any configuration.
