### Introduction

[](#introduction)

CakePHP Metabehavior is a meta data Behavior for CakePHP 2. This behavior allows you to store, retrieve and search for metadata about any record for any model within your database.

### Installation

[](#installation)

1. Add the folder on your app/Plugin directory.
2. Make sure that the Plugin is loaded (check your bootstrap configuration).
3. Run the following commands:

```
cd /path/to/installation/
app/Console/cake schema create MetaBehavior.metas
```

4. Add the behavior to the model you want to use.

```
class MyModel extends Model {
	public $actsAs = array('Meta');
}
```

### How to

[](#how-to)

1. Add datas to an object.

```
// Just set meta key on the primary request model
	$savedDatas = $this->request->data;
	$savedDatas['MyModel']['foo'] = 'bar';

	$this->MyModel->save($savedDatas);
```

2. Retrieve datas.

```
	// Just launch a find and datas are in the primary model.

	$model = $this->MyModel->findByid(1);

	return array(
		'MyModel' => array(
			'id' => 1,
			'foo' => 'bar'
		)
	)
```

3. You can directly search on meta values.

```
	$this->MyModel->find('all',array(
		'conditions' => array(
			'MyModel.foo =' => 'bar'
		)
	));
```
