A plugin to manage an active column

This plugin is for CakePHP 3.6+.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

```
composer require jeanvaljean/active-behavior

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Make sure the table that you want for using the active plugin has a column to store the active state of an entity. According to the pluging default configuration this column has to be named "active" and has to be:

```
['type' => 'integer', 'default' => 0, 'limit' => 1, 'null' => false]
```

**Note** : If you want to use an other column to store the active state of an entity, you can do it, you just have to mention it into pluing configuration using "active\_field".

Add the Active behavior in `initialize()` method of your table:

```
$this->addBehavior('Active.Active');
```

Now the active behavior is available on this table class.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The behavior configuration allow you to mention :

- active\_field : the table's field you want for storing the active state of an entity
- group : the table's field you want to use for grouping the active behavior on specific entities
- keep\_active : to make sure that always one entity is active
- multiple : to authorize several entities to be active

The default plugin configuration is as below :

```
$this->addBehavior('Active.Active', [
	'active_field' => 'active', // the table's field you want for storing the active state of an entity
	'group' => '', // the table's field you want to use for grouping the active behavior on specific entities
	'keep_active' => true, // to make sure that always one entity is active
	'multiple' => false // to authorize several entities to be active
]);
```
