#ItChanged - Extension for Yii 1

This extension help to save model state before updating and check which attribute has been changed., _(*1)

For example, you want to check if user name changed or not and after update some cache and etc., _(*2)

public function beforeSave() {
    if($this->itChanged('username'))
        echo 'changed';
    else
        echo 'not changed';
}

You also can see how it changed. Use method $this->getModelState() This method return associative array: [ %attribute_name% => %attribute_value%, ... ], _(*3)

Installation

I recommended use trait. (only for PHP >= 5.4.0) For example:, _(*4)

class User extends CActiveRecord {
    use ItChangedExtension\ItChangedTrait;
}

Simple, after use your class extending functional from trait., _(*5)

But extension support old way to use throw extend. If you have model which extend CActiveRecord, you just change extend to ItChangedActiveRecord class Same with CForm and CModel, _(*6)

For import files if you not use composer, just add include_once in your index.php before yii set up., _(*7)

Install from composer

{
 "require": {
    "one-art/itchanged": "*"
