Model
, (*1)
Models that are simple to create and use. Light weight but easily extensible., (*2)
Getters and setters will be simulated using the magic call method:
use Efficio\Dataset\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $first_name;
protected $last_name;
protected $full_name;
}
$me = new User;
// methods
$me->setFirstName('Marcos');
$me->setLastName('Minond');
// or properties
$me->first_name = 'Marcos';
$me->last_name = 'Marcos';
Both getter and setter methods may be overwritten:, (*3)
use Efficio\Dataset\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $first_name;
protected $last_name;
protected $full_name;
public function getFullName()
{
return implode(' ', [ $this->first_name, $this->last_name ]);
}
}
$me = new User;
$me->first_name = 'Marcos';
$me->last_name = 'Marcos';
echo $me->full_name; // outputs 'Marcos Minond'
Traits are used to specify how models are stored:
use Efficio\Dataset\Model;
use Efficio\Dataset\Storage\Model\DatabaseStorage;
class User extends Model
{
use DatabaseStorage;
protected $first_name;
// ...
}
Current storage traits are:
* Efficio\Dataset\Storage\Model\DatabaseStorage - store in a database using PDO.
* Efficio\Dataset\Storage\Model\FileStorage - store in flat files.
* Efficio\Dataset\Storage\Model\NullStorage - no storage.
* Efficio\Dataset\Storage\Model\SessionStorage - stored in the $_SESSION array, (*4)
Since storage information is defined in the model level any sort of custom storage
may be used., (*5)
Configuring storage methods
DatabaseStorage
// User uses DatabaseStorage trait
User::setConnection(new PDO('sqlite::memory:'));
FileStorage
// User uses FileStorage trait
User::setDirectory('./cache/models/');
