QuickModel extends DefaultModel

The default property bag model for storing stuff.

I highly recommend creating children of this class that contain getter/setter methods for any properties expected to be in the model. It makes development a lot easier in the long run.

It's worth noting that you DO NOT have to descend from this class. You can simply pass a property set to the default model, and go to town.

Properties

$cloneNames

A copy of the internal list of names for use elsewhere.

private IBigSet $cloneNames = null

$prefixMap

A map of prefix => property name.

private array $prefixMap
When setValue is called, this map is checked. If the current property name matches an entry in this map, the value is used as the new property name.

$validationEnabled

If validation is enabled

private bool $validationEnabled = true

Methods

__construct()

Create a new DefaultModel instance.

public __construct( $config : array ) : mixed

The supplied property set is used to determine what properties are available and the behavior of those properties attached to the model instance.

The supplied property set is cloned twice into two internal properties: "properties" and "edited". "properties" contains the master property set. This is freely editable and can be used as input for various methods.

The "edited" property is the list of properties attached to the model that have been edited. Each time setValue() is called, the corresponding bit in the "edited" property is enabled. When getModifiedProperties() is called, the enabled bits in edited are used to determine which properties to return.

For each property, a default value is set. If the property has an init callback, the property's default value property is supplied as an argument to the init callback, and the return value is used as the default property value within the model. If the init callback is not defined, then the property's default value is used as the default property value within the model.

Parameters
$config : array
Return values
mixed

__construct()

Create a new DefaultModel instance.

public __construct( $properties : IPropertySet ) : mixed

The supplied property set is used to determine what properties are available and the behavior of those properties attached to the model instance.

The supplied property set is cloned twice into two internal properties: "properties" and "edited". "properties" contains the master property set. This is freely editable and can be used as input for various methods.

The "edited" property is the list of properties attached to the model that have been edited. Each time setValue() is called, the corresponding bit in the "edited" property is enabled. When getModifiedProperties() is called, the enabled bits in edited are used to determine which properties to return.

For each property, a default value is set. If the property has an init callback, the property's default value property is supplied as an argument to the init callback, and the return value is used as the default property value within the model. If the init callback is not defined, then the property's default value is used as the default property value within the model.

Parameters

public getPropertyConfig( $intf : string ) : IPropertyConfig
Parameters

Determine if $name matches a property name defined in the IPropertySet instance supplied to the constructor.

public __isset( $name : string ) : bool

Calls IPropertySet::isMember()

DefaultModel::setValue()
Return values

instanceOf()

A way to determine if this model OR if a property set is an instance of some interface.

public instanceOf( $interface : string ) : bool

This is used due to decorators.

Parameters
$interface : string

Interface name

Return values
bool —

if this implements it

getValue()

Retrieve the value of some property.

public getValue( $property : string [, $context : array = [] ] ) : mixed

When retrieving a value:

First the supplied property name it checked to ensure it exists in the internal IPropertySet instance If not, then an \InvalidArgumentException is thrown.

If the property has a getter callback, it is called with (this,IProperty,value) and the result of that callback is returned. Otherwise, the stored value is returned.

WARNING: This returns a reference. Be careful about setting variables equal to this...

Parameters
$property : string

Property

$context : array = []
Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

if the property is not a member of the supplied IPropertySet instance

Return values
mixed —

value

setValue()

Sets the value of some property.

public setValue( $property : string , $value : mixed ) : void

If the IProperty::getPrepare() callback is used, $aValue is supplied as an argument, and the result of that callback is used as the value moving forward.

The value is validated against IProperty::validate()

The value is committed to the model using commitValue()

The edited property set has the corresponding bit enabled

Parameters
$property : string

Property to set

$value : mixed

property value

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

if the property is not a member of this model

throws
ValidationException

if value is invalid

hasEdits()

Detect if any properties have been edited in this model

public hasEdits( [ $prop : string = '' ] ) : bool
Parameters
$prop : string = ''

Property name. If $prop is not empty then this would test that the supplied property name is not empty. Otherwise, this tests if any property was edited.

Tags
todo

This method is too complex. Consider adding an isEdited property to IProperty instead of using all of this type checking.

Return values
bool —

has edits

testEdited()

private testEdited( [ $prop : string = '' ] ) : bool
Parameters
$prop : string = ''
Return values
bool

clearEditFlags()

Clears the internal edited flags for each property

public clearEditFlags( ) : void

getPropertySet()

Retrieve the property set used for this model.

public final getPropertySet( ) : IPropertySet

This method FORMERLY returned a clone of the internal property set. Currently, this returns the internal PropertySet.

Tags
reutrn

IPropertySet properties

final
Return values
IPropertySet

getPropertyNameSet()

Retrieve property names as an IBigSet instance.

public getPropertyNameSet( ) : IBigSet

This will return a set containing all of the property names, and have zero members active. This is available due to how expensive cloning the backing IPropertySet instance can be. Use this for simple operations such as determining if a property name is valid.

This returns a SHARED instance. Either clone or don't store this anywhere.

Return values
IBigSet —

property names

getPropertyNameSetByFlags()

Retrieve a set with the property name bits toggled on for properties with the supplied flags.

public getPropertyNameSetByFlags( ...$flags : string ) : IBigSet
Parameters
$flags : string

Flags

Return values
IBigSet —

names

arrayToObject()

private arrayToObject( &$a : array ) : mixed
Parameters
$a : array
Return values
mixed

fromArray()

Sets properties from some array.

public fromArray( $data : array ) : void

Invalid properties are quietly ignored.

Parameters
$data : array

data to set

toObject()

Convert the model to a json representation.

public toObject( [ $properties : IBigSet|null = null ] [, $includeArrays : bool = false ] [, $includeModels : bool = false ] ) : string

This probably does not work with object properties. Need to test.

Parameters
$properties : IBigSet|null = null
$includeArrays : bool = false
$includeModels : bool = false
Return values
string —

JSON object

toArray()

Convert this model to an array.

array

validateAll()

If you want to validate each property and return a list of errors indexed by property name, this is the method to call.

public validateAll( [ $debugErrors : bool = false ] ) : array

Note: This simply calls validate() in a loop, catches exceptions and tosses some errors in a list.

Parameters
$debugErrors : bool = false
Return values
array —

getProperty()

Retrieve a prop.

private getProperty( $property : string ) : IProperty
