PHP Class BaseCCodeModel

Each code generator should have at least one code model class that extends from this class. The purpose of a code model is to represent user-supplied parameters and use them to generate customized code. Derived classes should implement the {@link prepare} method whose main task is to fill up the {@link files} property based on the user parameters. The {@link files} property should be filled with a set of {@link CCodeFile} instances, each representing a single code file to be generated. CCodeModel implements the feature of "sticky attributes". A sticky attribute is an attribute that can remember its last valid value, even if the user closes his browser window and reopen it. To declare an attribute is sticky, simply list it in a validation rule with the validator name being "sticky".

Since: 1.1.2

Public Properties

Property	Type	Description
$answers		user confirmations on whether to overwrite existing code files with the newly generated ones. The value of this property is internally managed by this class and {@link CCodeGenerator}.
$files		a list of {@link CCodeFile} objects that represent the code files to be generated. The {@link prepare()} method is responsible to populate this property.
$status		the status of this model. T The value of this property is internally managed by {@link CCodeGenerator}.
$template		the name of the code template that the user has selected. The value of this property is internally managed by this class and {@link CCodeGenerator}.

Method Details

attributeLabels() public method

Child classes must override this method in the following format:

return array_merge(parent::attributeLabels(), array(
    ...labels for the child class attributes...
));

public attributeLabels ( ) : array
return	array	the attribute labels

class2id() public method

For example, 'PostTag' will be converted as 'post-tag'.

public class2id ( string $name ) : string
$name	string	the string to be converted
return	string	the resulting ID

class2name() public method

For example, 'PostTag' will be converted as 'Post Tag'.

public class2name ( string $name, boolean $ucwords = true ) : string
$name	string	the string to be converted
$ucwords	boolean	whether to capitalize the first letter in each word
return	string	the resulting words

class2var() public method

This method is provided because lcfirst() PHP function is only available for PHP 5.3+.

Since: 1.1.4

public class2var ( string $name ) : string
$name	string	the class name
return	string	the variable name converted from the class name

classExists() public method

Checks if the named class exists (in a case sensitive manner).

public classExists ( string $name ) : boolean
$name	string	class name to be checked
return	boolean	whether the class exists

confirmed() public method

public confirmed ( CCodeFile $file )
$file	CCodeFile	whether the code file should be saved

errorMessage() public method

Child classes should override this method if the message needs to be customized.

public errorMessage ( ) : string
return	string	the message to be displayed when some error occurred during code file saving.

getStickyFile() public method

public getStickyFile ( ) : string
return	string	the file path that stores the sticky attribute values.

getTemplatePath() public method

public getTemplatePath ( ) : string
return	string	the directory that contains the template files.

getTemplates() public method

This method simply returns the {@link CCodeGenerator::templates} property value.

public getTemplates ( ) : array
return	array	a list of available code templates (name=>directory).

loadStickyAttributes() public method

Loads sticky attributes from a file and populates them into the model.

public loadStickyAttributes ( )

pluralize() public method

Note that this is for English only! For example, 'apple' will become 'apples', and 'child' will become 'children'.

public pluralize ( string $name ) : string
$name	string	the word to be pluralized
return	string	the pluralized word

prepare() abstract public method

This is the main method that child classes should implement. It should contain the logic that populates the {@link files} property with a list of code files to be generated.

abstract public prepare ( )

render() public method

This method is manly used in {@link generate} to generate code.

public render ( string $templateFile, array $_params_ = null ) : string
