Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) To install it you can just download zip or use composer: ``` composer require vitalyspirin/yii2-simpleactiverecord ``` To use it in code: ``` use vitalyspirin\yii2\simpleactiverecord\SimpleActiveRecord; class T1 extends SimpleActiveRecord { } ``` There is no need to overload rules() function to specify validators. Validators will be added automatically by class constructor based on table schema. However in current version relations (based on foreign keys) will not be added. There are two ways to create an instance of such class. Constructor of SimpleActiveRecord takes one boolean parameter: $maximumValidation. If it's 'false' then only those validators will be added that are generated by Gii. In terms of above example it will look like this: ``` $t1 = new T1(false); ``` If to pass 'true' (which is also default) then maximum validation functionality will be added. It includes ranges for integer, ranges for enum, pattern for time etc. Of course you can see those validators: ``` $t1 = new T1(); var_dump($t1->rules()); ``` If table schema changed then validators will be adjusted automatically. Examples -------- [](#examples) Let's say we have the following SQL schema: ``` CREATE TABLE person ( person_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, person_firstname VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL, person_lastname VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL, person_gender ENUM('male', 'female'), person_dob DATE NULL, person_salary DECIMAL UNSIGNED ); ``` then if we run the following code: ``` use vitalyspirin\yii2\simpleactiverecord\SimpleActiveRecord; class Person extends SimpleActiveRecord { // totally empty class } $person = new Person(false /*Gii style validation only*/ ); var_dump($person->rules()); ``` we will get the following output: ``` array (size=5) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => string 'person_firstname' (length=16) 1 => string 'person_lastname' (length=15) 1 => string 'required' (length=8) 1 => array (size=2) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_salary' (length=13) 1 => string 'number' (length=6) 2 => array (size=2) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_dob' (length=10) 1 => string 'safe' (length=4) 3 => array (size=3) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => string 'person_firstname' (length=16) 1 => string 'person_lastname' (length=15) 1 => string 'string' (length=6) 'max' => int 35 4 => array (size=2) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_gender' (length=13) 1 => string 'string' (length=6) ``` Above validators are the same that would be generated by Gii module of Yii. Additional validators can be generated if to call class constructor without false parameter: ``` $person = new Person(); var_dump($person->rules()); ``` In this case the output will be the following (pay attention to 'person\_gender', 'person\_dob' and 'person\_salary' fields): ``` array (size=5) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => string 'person_firstname' (length=16) 1 => string 'person_lastname' (length=15) 1 => string 'required' (length=8) 1 => array (size=3) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_gender' (length=13) 1 => string 'in' (length=2) 'range' => array (size=2) 0 => string 'male' (length=4) 1 => string 'female' (length=6) 2 => array (size=5) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_dob' (length=10) 1 => string 'date' (length=4) 'format' => string 'yyyy-MM-dd' (length=10) 'min' => string '1000-01-01' (length=10) 'max' => string '9999-12-31' (length=10) 3 => array (size=3) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string 'person_salary' (length=13) 1 => string 'number' (length=6) 'min' => int 0 4 => array (size=3) 0 => array (size=2) 0 => string 'person_firstname' (length=16) 1 => string 'person_lastname' (length=15) 1 => string 'string' (length=6) 'max' => int 35 ``` You can also pass properties to contructor: ``` $person = new Person(['person_firstname' => 'John', 'person_lastname' => 'Smith']); echo $person->person_firstname; ``` In the case above maximum validation will be chosen by default. You can specify validation level explicitly (Gii style validation in the example below): ``` $person = new Person(false, ['person_firstname' => 'John', 'person_lastname' => 'Smith']); echo $person->person_firstname; ``` Additional features ------------------- [](#additional-features) This extension of Active Record has also function getEnumValues() that shows enum values for table column. The following code ``` $person = new Person(); var_dump($person->getEnumValues()); ``` will return ``` array (size=1) 'person_gender' => array (size=2) 0 => string 'male' (length=4) 1 => string 'female' (length=6) ``` You can also see tests in [SimpleActiveRecordTest.php](tests/unit/SimpleActiveRecordTest.php) for simple examples. ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability 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.
