Yii2 ModelImage
===============

[](#yii2-modelimage)

A behavior for Yii2 Framework model class, that allows to easily attach an image, when saving a model.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
composer require unique/yii2-model-image

```

or add

```
"unique/yii2-model-image": "@dev"

```

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

To create DB tables run migration file:

```
./yii migrate --migrationPath="vendor/unique/yii2-model-image/src/migrations"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order to use the behavior, you first need to load the module. Module can only be loaded once. Add the following to your config file:

```

```

Then your model can implement a behavior like so:

```
    class Profile extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord {

        // ...
        public $profile_photo;

        public function behaviors() {

            return array_merge( parent::behaviors(), [
                'image' => [
                    'class' => ImageBehavior::class,
                    'uploaded_file_attribute' => 'profile_photo',
                    'image_attribute' => 'profile_photo_id',
                    'group' => 'user_profile_photo',
                ]
            ] );
        }

        public function rules() {

            return [
                // ...
                [ [ 'profile_photo' ], 'file', 'extensions' => 'jpg' ],
            ];
        }
    }
```

Now, when saving Profile model, an uploaded image will be saved automatically, also generating the two associated versions of the image called `thumb_small` and `thumb_large`. If an error occurs, while saving the image, `Profile::save()` will return false and an error will be set on the `Profile::$profile_photo` attribute.
