Public Methods

Method Description
__toString ( ) : string If field is accidentally converted to string, provide some descriptive information.
actual ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this In most cases $model['field'] would match "field" inside a database. In some cases, however, you would want to use different database field. This can happen when you join multiple tables and 'field' appears in multiple tables.
allowHTML ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Configures the behavior of Form to disable tag stripping form user input.
caption ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Sets field caption which will be used by forms, grids and other view elements as a label. The caption will be localized through $app->_().
defaultValue ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Default Value is used inside forms when you present them without loaded data. This does not change how model works, which will simply avoid including unchanged field into insert/update queries.
display ( mixed $t = UNDEFINED ) : mixed | $this Normally views will attempt to pick most suitable way to present field.
editable ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Set editable to false, if you want to exclude field from forms or other means of editing data. This does not affect the actual model values.
emptyText ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this What to display when nothing is selected or entered? This will be displayed on a drop-down when no value is selected: ("Choose .
enum ( array $t ) : array Similar to listData() but accepts array of values instead of hash:.
get ( ) : mixed Get the value of the field of a loaded model. If model is not loaded will return default value instead.
getBooleanValue ( mixed $value ) : integer | null Converts true/false into boolean representation according to the "enum"
getModel ( ) : string Returns current model. This is different than other setters getters, but it's done to keep consistency with the rest of Agile Toolkit.
group ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this While you may use visible(), editable() to include or exclude fields from appearing in certain scenarios, you can also define a group which you then can display instead of listing all fields manually inside setModel(). Read more about Actual Fields.
hidden ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Hide field. Not sure!
hint ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Sets field hint which will be used by forms.
length ( integer $t = UNDEFINED ) : integer | $this This will provide a HTML settings on a field for maximum field size.
listData ( array $t = UNDEFINED ) : array | $this Supplies a list data for multi-value fields (selects, radio buttons, checkbox area, autocomplete). You may also use enum(). This setting is typically used with a static falues (Male / Female), if your field values could be described through a different model, use setModel() or better yet - hasOne().
mandatory ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Asterisk will be displayed by the form (if field is include in "actual" fields. This property will not affect the direct use of the field inside model. If you would like that your model complains about empty fields, you should edit beforeSave hook.
onField ( callback $c = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Pass a callback to onField() which is executed with the argument containing a field view, when model is associated with a form.
placeholder ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Sets field placeholder (gray text inside input when it's empty).
readonly ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Read only setting will affect the way how field is presented by views.
required ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this
sanitize ( mixed $value ) : mixed This is used in Controller_Data_SQL to sanitize the value forwarded to dsql.
searchable ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Setting searchable(true) will instruct Filter and similar views that it should be possible to perform search by this field.
set ( mixed $value = null ) : Field Sets the value of the field. Identical to $model[$fieldname]=$value.
setModel ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Will execute setModel() on a field. Some fields will change their behaviour with this. The value is a string (either Model_Book or Book) but you might be able to use object also.
setValueList ( array $t ) : array Same as listData().
setterGetter ( string $type, mixed $value = UNDEFINED ) : mixed | $this Implementation of generic setter-getter method which supports "UNDEFINED" constant. This method is used by all other sette-getters.
sortable ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Will instruct Grid and similar views that the sorting controls must be enabled for this field.
system ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Marking field as system will cause it to always be loaded, even if it's not requested through Actual Fields. It will also hide the field making it dissapear from Grids and Forms. A good examples of system fields are "id" or "created_dts".
table ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this If is set, it contains the correct table that stores this field.
type ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this Logical type of model field. This universal type is recognized by view controllers (such as Controller_MVCForm, Controller_MVCGrid to convert into supported field types.
visible ( boolean $t = UNDEFINED ) : boolean | $this Controls field appearance in Grid or similar views.

Method Details

__toString() public method

If field is accidentally converted to string, provide some descriptive information.
public __toString ( ) : string
return string descriptive

actual() public method

You can specify actual field when you declare a field within a model: $model->addField('modelfield','dbfield'); If you are unable to use addField (such as using custom field class), you can use actual() modifier: $model->add('filestore/File','modelfield')->actual('dbfield'); Another potential use is if your database structure does not match model convention: $model->hasOne('Book')->actual('IDBOOK');
public actual ( string $t = UNDEFINED ) : string | $this
$t string new value
return string | $this current value if $t=UNDEFINED
