Yii2 Linker Behavior
This is a NEW version of a Yii2 ManyToMany Behavior.
It's the Yii2 ManyToMany Behavior only in new implementation architecture., (*1)
Что это?
Это копия Yii2 ManyToMany Behavior но с другой архитектурой., (*2)
В Yii2 ManyToMany Behavior некоторые жаловались, что у сохранения много-ко-многим одна логика и она не всем подходит.
Я сделал так, что логику обновления связей можно конфигурировать без перепилки кода., (*3)
В этой сборке реализовано три класса логики (апдейтера):
* ManyToManyUpdater.php - удаляет все связи и перезаписывает их заново. Его преимущество в том, что обновление происходит за 2 запроса в БД. Подходит для небольшого количества обновляемых связей за раз.
* ManyToManySmartUpdater.php - находит разницу и вносит корректировки в связи (удаляет старые, добавляет новые). Он производит уже за 4 запроса, но при этом не убивает существующие связи.
* OneToManyUpdater.php - логика работы со связью один-ко-многим. Просто берем Primary Key и присваиваем его к дочерним элементам., (*4)
Все это позволяет разработчикам писать свою логику обновления связей с блекджеком и девочками для своих проектов.
В репо есть интерфейсы, абстрактные классы и все, что нужно для расширения., (*5)
Сейчас проект в стадии RC и на новый функционал нужно допилить тестов.
Но в целом тесты которые были на Yii2 ManyToMany Behavior на этой архитектуре проходят успешно.
Так что уже можно юзать., (*6)
Изменились только параметры конфигурирования компонента.
Нужно просто внимательно свериться с докой README.md и все будет хорошо., (*7)
This behavior makes it easy to maintain many-to-many and one-to-many relations in your ActiveRecord models., (*8)
, (*9)
Support
GutHub issues., (*10)
Usage
- In your model, add the behavior and configure it
- In your model, add validation rules for the attributes created by the behavior
- In your view, create form fields for the attributes
Adding and configuring the behavior
As an example, let's assume you are dealing with entities like Book
, Author
and Review
. The Book
model has the following relationships:, (*11)
public function getAuthors()
{
return $this->hasMany(
Author::className(),
['id' => 'author_id']
)->viaTable(
'{{%book_has_author}}',
['book_id' => 'id']
);
}
public function getReviews()
{
return $this->hasMany(Review::className(), ['id' => 'review_id']);
}
In the same model, the behaviour can be configured like so:, (*12)
public function behaviors()
{
return [
[
'class' => \voskobovich\linker\LinkerBehavior::className(),
'relations' => [
'author_ids' => 'authors',
'review_ids' => 'reviews',
],
],
];
}
Relation names don't need to end in _ids
, and you can use any name for a relation. It is recommended to use meaningful names, though., (*13)
Adding validation rules
The attributes are created automatically. However, you must supply a validation rule for them (usually a safe
validator):, (*14)
public function rules()
{
return [
[['author_ids', 'review_ids'], 'each', 'rule' => ['integer']]
];
}
By default, the behavior will accept data from a multiselect field:, (*15)
<?= $form->field($model, 'author_ids')
->dropDownList($authorsAsArray, ['multiple' => true]) ?>
...
<?= $form->field($model, 'review_ids')
->dropDownList($reviewsAsArray, ['multiple' => true]) ?>
Known issues and limitations
- Composite primary keys are not supported.
- Junction table for many-to-many links is updated using the connection from the primary model.
- When using a function to calculate the default value, keep in mind that this function is called once, right before the relations are saved, and then its result is used to update all relevant rows using one query.
- Relations are saved using DAO (i. e. by manipulating the tables directly).
Custom getters and setters
Attributes like author_ids
and review_ids
in the Book
model are created automatically. By default, they are configured to accept data from a standard select input (see below). However, it is possible to use custom getter and setter functions, which may be useful for interaction with more complex frontend scripts. It is possible to define many alternative getters and setters for a given attribute:, (*16)
//...
'author_ids' => [
'authors',
'fields' => [
'json' => [
'get' => function($value) {
//from internal representation (array) to user type
return JSON::encode($value);
},
'set' => function($value) {
//from user type to internal representation (array)
return JSON::decode($value);
},
],
'string' => [
'get' => function($value) {
//from internal representation (array) to user type
return implode(',', $value);
},
'set' => function($value) {
//from user type to internal representation (array)
return explode(',', $value);
},
],
],
]
//...
Field name is concatenated to the attribute name with an underscore. In this example, accessing $model->author_ids
will result in an array of IDs, $model->author_ids_json
will return a JSON string and $model->author_ids_string
will return a comma-separated string of IDs. Setters work similarly., (*17)
Getters and setters may be ommitted to fall back to default behavior (arrays of IDs)., (*18)
NOTE
The setter function receives whatever data comes through the $_REQUEST
and is expected to return the array of the related model IDs. The getter function receives the array of the related model IDs., (*19)
COMPATIBILITY NOTE
Specifying getters and setters for the primary attribute (author_ids
in the above example) is still supported, but not recommended. Best practice is to use primary attribute to get and set values as array of IDs and create fields
to use other getters and setters., (*20)
Custom junction table values
For setting additional values in junction table (apart columns required for relation), you can use viaTableAttributesValue
:, (*21)
...
'author_ids' => [
'authors',
'updater' => [
'viaTableAttributesValue' => [
'status_key' => BookHasAuthor::STATUS_ACTIVE,
'created_at' => function() {
return new \yii\db\Expression('NOW()');
},
'is_main' => function($updater, $relatedPk, $rowCondition) {
/**
* $updater this is a object of current updater that implement UpdaterInterface.
* $relatedPk this is a Primary Key of related object.
* $rowCondition this is a object of current row state, that implement AssociativeRowCondition.
*/
/**
* How i can get the Primary Model?
*/
$primaryModel = $updater->getBehavior()->owner;
/**
* How i can get the Primary Key of Primery Model?
*/
$primaryModelPkValue = $primaryModel->getPrimaryKey();
return array_search($relatedPk, $primaryModel->author_ids) === 0;
},
],
]
]
...
Setting default values for orphaned models
When one-to-many relations are saved, old links are removed and new links are created. To remove an old link, the corresponding foreign-key column is set to a certain value. It is NULL
by default, but can be configured differently. Note that your database must support your chosen default value, so if you are using NULL
as a default value, the field must be nullable., (*22)
You can supply a constant value like so:, (*23)
...
'review_ids' => [
'reviews',
'updater' => [
'fallbackValue' => 17,
]
],
...
It is also possible to assign the default value to NULL
explicitly, like so: 'fallbackValue' => null
. Another option is to provide a function to calculate the default value:, (*24)
...
'review_ids' => [
'reviews',
'updater' => [
'fallbackValue' => function($model, $relationName, $attributeName) {
//default value calculation
//...
return $fallbackValue;
},
]
],
...
The function accepts 3 parameters. In our example $model
is the instance of the Book
class (owner of the behavior), $relationName
is 'reviews'
and $attributeName
is 'review_ids'
., (*25)
If you need the db connection inside this function, it is recommended to obtain it from either the primary model (Book
) or the secondary model (Review
)., (*26)
function($model, $relationName, $attributeName) {
//get db connection from primary model (Book)
$connection = $model::getDb();
...
//OR get db connection from secondary model (Review)
$secondaryModelClass = $model->getRelation($relationName)->modelClass;
$connection = $secondaryModelClass::getDb();
...
//further value calculation logic (db query)
Applying the behaviour several times to a single relationship
It is possible to use this behavior for a single relationship multiple times in a single model. This is not recommended, however., (*27)
Using the behaviour with relations that are using the same junction table
When you are implementing multiple ManyToMany relations in the same model, and they are using same junction table,
you may face and issue when your junction records will not be saved properly., (*28)
This happens because old junction records are dropped each time new relation is saved.
To avoid deletion of records that were just saved, you will need to set viaTableCondition
param., (*29)
This delete condition will be merged with primary delete condition and may be used to fine tune your delete query., (*30)
For example, let's imagine that we develop a scientific database for botanical laboratory.
We have a model called "Sample" for different plants samples, model called "Attachment" for related files
(photos or documents) and junction table "sample_attachments".
And we want to divide all those files into separate fields in the "Sample" model (raw material pictures,
molecular structure, etc) by introducing field "type" in the junction table.
In such case, the resulting "Sample" model will look like this:, (*31)
public function behaviors()
{
return [
'manyToMany' => [
'class' => LinkerBehavior::className(),
'relations' => [
'rawMaterialPicturesList' => [
'rawMaterialPictures',
'updater' => [
'viaTableAttributesValue' => [
'type_key' => 'RAW_MATERIAL_PICTURES',
],
'viaTableCondition' => [
'type_key' => 'RAW_MATERIAL_PICTURES',
],
]
],
'molecularStructureList' => [
'molecularStructure',
'updater' => [
'viaTableAttributesValue' => [
'type_key' => 'MOLECULAR_STRUCTURE',
],
'viaTableCondition' => [
'type_key' => 'MOLECULAR_STRUCTURE',
],
]
],
],
],
];
}
public function getRawMaterialPictures()
{
return $this->hasMany(
Attachment::className(),
['id' => 'related_id']
)->viaTable(
'sample_attachments',
['current_id' => 'id'],
function ($query) {
$query->andWhere([
'type_key' => 'RAW_MATERIAL_PICTURES',
]);
return $query;
}
);
}
public function getMolecularStructure()
{
return $this->hasMany(
Attachment::className(),
['id' => 'related_id']
)->viaTable(
'sample_attachments',
['current_id' => 'id'],
function ($query) {
$query->andWhere([
'type_key' => 'MOLECULAR_STRUCTURE',
]);
return $query;
}
);
}
