Informations about the package expandable
CakePHP Expandable Plugin
Makes possible to save different fields for each item in two tables without touching schema.
It works like Cake's i18n table
Instalation:
Via git clone into your plugin folder or use composer.
For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"lubos/expandable": "~1.0"
}And run php composer.phar update
What it Does:
The ExpandableBehavior will allow you to extend any model with any set of "extra fields" which don't exist in it's schema.
It uses a second table/model as a the key/value table, which links back to the primary table/model. Thus you can store any details you want separate from the main table/model, keeping schema simpler and reducing (main) table size.
Setup:
You must make a new Table to store the keys/values and optionally a Model for that table. It should be named something like 'my_model_expands', and it needs the following fields:
- a primary ID
- a foreignKey linking back to the primary table
- a "key" field
- a "value" field ** null if you want to get null back, varchar or text depending on what you want to store
In your schema:
And you can create the table via the shell:
On MyModel:
Setup the Expandable Behavior, configure "with" the Expand Model, and ensure you put the Expand model into the "hasMany" array.
Usage:
Just do normal save() on the model, and a normal find() (containing the
Expand data).
Your extra fields, not in the schema, will show up... add as many as you like.
