How Skipper helps you

Skipper is an advanced visual editor that allows you to define your MVC application model and export definition files for all common ORM frameworks. With Skipper you can create and maintain the entire model of your application visually and then export it with one click.

Create your model visually with drag & drop
Export ORM definition files with one click
Import existing projects from definition files
Keep model and code always in sync
Support for all major ORM frameworks

Benefits for MVC frameworks

MVC Framework	Supported ORM Frameworks
Symfony (all versions)	Propel, Doctrine, Doctrine2
Zend Framework (and Zend Fw2)	Propel, Doctrine, Doctrine2
Laravel	Eloquent, Propel, Doctrine, Doctrine2
CakePHP	CakePHP
Any other MVC	Propel, Doctrine, Doctrine2

Almost all Skipper features are MVC independent and can be used regardless of the MVC framework you use. The only MVC-dependent feature is the project directory structure which is set during project creation.

This means that you can use Skipper with any MVC framework, not just the ones listed above. As long as you use one of the supported ORM frameworks, Skipper will work with your MVC framework.

Supported ORM frameworks

Skipper includes import wizards that allow you to import your existing project from ORM definition files. You can import the complete project including all entities, fields, associations and other ORM-specific elements. The import wizard guides you through the entire process step by step.

Over 5,000 companies use Skipper every day

We have good use of the tool. It simplifies our daily work, saves us time and is simple and intuitive to use.

It is faster and gives less errors to have Skipper create the mapping code instead of writing it myself. Later in the development process I often use the Skipper diagram as a quick reference.
