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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Implementation of virtual fields for Yii2 AR

To work this library needs to change 2 parts of the Yii2 ORM.

Configuration

The change to ActiveQuery are simple and can be applied using a trait or a behavior. In case you did not subclass ActiveQuery you can choose to attach the behavior dynamically.

Since Yii uses the DI container to create the object, it is also possible to add the behavior globally by defining it in the DI container. Virtual fields allow you to define model attributes as SQL fragments. The advantage of this implementation is that it supports both lazy and greedy loading.

Usage

The library will then take care of everything:

If lazy loading is not implemented and an attribute is used lazily, an exception will be thrown. If greedy loading is not implemented and the field is added to select the normal Yii2 / SQL exception is thrown.

We found these classes greatly helped us in reducing the number of queries (implementing getPostCount() on Author is not ideal).

To maximize compatibility and minimize issues we chose not to use joins, since they can potentially affect the number of records. In a number of cases the resulting query plan could be less than optimal.

We chose not to overload ActiveQuery::select() to support virtual fields. Reason for this is the fact that it changes the semantics of *; * would not by default include all virtual fields.
