The final converted value for the database is meant to be stored as a LOB value. I used a VARBINARY with 16 bytes. It is long enough for also IPv6 addresses. The class was written for an application for [InnoGames GmbH](http://www.innogames.com). The permission was given to make this class public. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org). The recommended way to install composer packages is: ``` composer require thefredfox/cakephp-ip-type ``` After that you have to load the plugin in your application's bootstrap file and map the type for the database as follows: ``` // in bootstrap file Plugin::load('IpType'); Type::map('ip', 'IpType\Database\Type\IpType'); ``` In the Table class itself you have to tell the column to be this type: ``` // in your Entity Table class (eg. UsersTable) use Cake\Database\Schema\Table as Schema; protected function _initializeSchema(Schema $schema) { $schema->columnType('ip', 'ip'); return $schema; } ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The default function for encoding and decoding is 'inet\_pton' resp. 'inet\_ntop'. However it is possible to set the encode (toDatabase) and decode (toPHP) methods as callables. Is the variable not a callable an `\UnexpectedValueException` will be thrown with the message: 'Could not decode the value, IpType::\_decode has to be a callable.' resp. '... encode ... IpType::\_encode ...'. ### Method Strings [](#method-strings) ``` // in bootstrap file /** @var IpType $ipType */ $ipType = Type::build('ip'); $ipType->_encode = 'ip2long'; // using global ip2long method for encoding (just IPv4 support) $ipType->_decode = 'long2ip'; // using global long2ip method for decoding (just IPv4 support) ``` ### Custom Functions [](#custom-functions) ``` // in bootstrap file /** @var IpType $ipType */ $ipType = Type::build('ip'); $ipType->_encode = function ($value) { return $value . '1'; // just concatenate a '1' at the end, for what reason ever }; $ipType->_decode = function ($value) { return $value; }; ``` ### Static Functions of a Class [](#static-functions-of-a-class) ``` class TestClass { public static function staticEncode($value) { /*...*/ } public static function staticDecode($value) { /*...*/ } } /** @var IpType $ipType */ $ipType = Type::build('ip'); $ipType->_encode = 'TestClass::staticEncode'; $ipType->_decode = 'TestClass::staticDecode'; ``` ### Non Static Functions of a Class via Wrapper Function [](#non-static-functions-of-a-class-via-wrapper-function) ``` class TestClass { public function encode($value) { /*...*/ } public function decode($value) { /*...*/ } } /** @var IpType $ipType */ $ipType = Type::build('ip'); $ipType->_encode = function ($value) { $object = new TestClass(); return $object->encode($value); }; $ipType->_decode = function ($value) { $object = new TestClass(); return $object->decode($value); }; ``` Database -------- [](#database) The final converted value for the database is meant to be stored as a LOB value. I used a VARBINARY with 16 bytes. It is long enough for also IPv6 addresses. ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity19 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
