Rethinkdb transparency for Laravel connections

[hackerunet]

Hello, I've been testing rethinkdb driver in the last days and no matter what I try to use I get an error if I dare to use add ons like Kodeine, Bouncer, ACL and so on.
The bouncer creator told me this:

... "And I think that something is wrong with the RethinkDB package if you have to include the traits or extend the class everywhere and it doesn't integrate with the laravel query builder."

So, is this driver really having troubles and needs more work? can this be implemented in a production environment?

As I know the driver is not fully integrated with laravel query builder, it still has some issues to fix or enhance.

I dont know about those packages which you have mention, but maybe you should reconsider your options, cause at the end rethinkdb is a noSQL database, so am not sure if those packages do work with noSQL or not .

and a small look at Kodeine you will notice that the model files which they have will not work with rethinkdb package :

Kodeine has this file which extends Laravel Eloquent , meanwhile Rethinkdb Package depend on its own Eloquent class ( check this doc file ).

So I think you should implement your own ACL or something cause at the end if you use any package which depend on Laravel Eloquent it wont work with this package.
