FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Serializable Behaviour for CakePHP 2.1+

Use it if you want to save and read serialized data into db.

Installation

cd my_cake_app/app
git clone git://github.com/imsamurai/cakephp-serializable-behaviour.git Plugin/Serializable

or if you use git add as submodule:

cd my_cake_app
git submodule add "git://github.com/imsamurai/cakephp-serializable-behaviour.git" "app/Plugin/Serializable"

then add plugin loading in Config/bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::load('Serializable');

Configuration

Write global config if you need to use custom serialization function:

Configure::write('Serializable', array(
  'serialize' => <valid callable>,
  'unserialize' => <valid callable>
));

Attach behaviour to model:

public $actsAs = array(
      'Serializable.Serializable' => array(
        'fields' => <array of field names>,
        'serialize' => <valid callable>, // optional
        'unserialize' => <valid callable> // optional
        'merge' => true // optional
      )
);

By default serialization uses function serialize, unserialization - unserialize Merging is off by default, turning it on will do a recursive merge on existing records so you can add data without replacing the entire serialized object.

Advanced usage

If you want to use serialization with Containable behaviour you must modify your AppModel. For example we have 3 models that extedned AppModel: NewsPopular has many NewsPopularItem NewsPopularItem belongs to Article

NewsPopularItem and Article has some serialized fields.

Assume you want to fetch data this way:

$this->NewsPopular->contain(array(
        'NewsPopularItem' => array(
            'Article'
        )
    ));
$data = $this->NewsPopular->find('first');

In this case you must add some configuration to AppModel::afterFind. In basic case there must be:

public function afterFind($results, $primary = false) {
    if (!$primary && $this->Behaviors->enabled('Serializable')) {
        return $this->Behaviors->Serializable->afterFind($this, $results, $primary);
    }
    return parent::afterFind($results, $primary);
}

And that's all! Now you have data structure with unserialized fields.
