FAQ
Example:
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 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.

Usage
This extension provides support for ActiveRecord many-to-many relation saving. This support is granted via [[\nyx\db\LinkManyToManyBehavior]] ActiveRecord behavior. You'll need to attach it to your ActiveRecord class and point the target "has-many" relation for it:
Being attached [[\nyx\db\LinkManyToManyBehavior]] adds a virtual proprty to the owner ActiveRecord, which name is determined by [[\nyx\db\LinkManyToManyBehavior::$relationReferenceAttribute]]. You will be able to specify related models primary keys via this attribute:
The above example is equal to the following code:
Attention: do NOT declare
relationReferenceAttributeattribute in the owner ActiveRecord class. Make sure it does not conflict with any existing owner field or virtual property.
Virtual property declared via relationReferenceAttribute serves not only for saving. It also contains existing references
for the relation:
You may as well edit the references list for existing record, while saving linked records will be synchronized:
Note: if attribute declared by
relationReferenceAttributeis never invoked for reading or writing, it will not be processed on owner saving. Thus it will not affect pure owner saving.
Creating relation setup web interface
The main purpose of [[\nyx\db\LinkManyToManyBehavior::$relationReferenceAttribute]] is support for creating many-to-many setup web interface. All you need to do is declare a validation rule for this virtual property in your ActiveRecord, so its value can be collected from the request:
Inside the view file you should use relationReferenceAttribute property as an attribute name for the form input:
Inside the controller you don't need any special code:
