Introduction

[](#introduction)

Manipulating array data in most cases can be expressed as a model. Models in *Eden* is defined loosely and as a utility class to help managing data in a controlled and chainable format. The basic setup of a model is described in `Figure 1`.

**Figure 1. Setup**

```
$user = array(
	'user_name' => 'Chris',
	'user_email' => 'cblanquera@openovate.com',
	'user_location' => 'Manila, Philippines');

eden('model', $user);

```

From here we can access properties in our model as a method, property or back as an array. `Figure 2` shows the ways to access data in action.

**Figure 2. Accessing Model Properties**

```
//set user name
$model->setUserName('Chris');

// returns user email
$model->getUserEmail();

// set any abstract key
$model->setAnyThing('somthing');

// get any abstract key
$model->getAnyThing();

//access as array
echo $model['user_name'];

//set as array
$model['user_email'] = 'my@email.com';

//access as object
echo $model->user_name;

//set as object
$model->user_name = 'my@email.com';

```

We added several common methods to futher manipulate model data.

**Figure 3. Utility Methods**

```
//for each row, copy the value of post_user to the user_id column
$model->copy('post_user', 'user_id');

//returns a raw array (no object)
$model->get();

```
