Behaviors
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A behavior (also knows as *mixin*) can be used to enhance the functionality of an existing component without modifying the component's
|
|
code. In particular, a behavior can "inject" its own methods and properties into the component, making them directly accessible
|
|
via the component itslef. A behavior can also respond to events triggered in the component, thus intercepting the normal
|
|
code execution. Unlike [PHP's traits](http://www.php.net/traits), behaviors can be attached to classes at runtime.
|
|
|
|
Using behaviors
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
A behavior can be attached to any class that extends from `Component`. In order to attach a behavior to a class, the component class must implement the `behaviors`
|
|
method. As an example, Yii provides the `AutoTimestamp` behavior for automatically updating timestamp fields when saving an Active Record model:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class User extends ActiveRecord
|
|
{
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
public function behaviors()
|
|
{
|
|
return [
|
|
'timestamp' => [
|
|
'class' => 'yii\behaviors\AutoTimestamp',
|
|
'attributes' => [
|
|
ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_INSERT => ['create_time', 'update_time'],
|
|
ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_UPDATE => 'update_time',
|
|
],
|
|
],
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above, the `class` value is a string representing the fully qualified behavior class name. All of the other key-value pairs represent corresponding public properties of the `AutoTimestamp` class, thereby customizing how the behavior functions.
|
|
|
|
Creating your own behaviors
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
[[NEEDS UPDATING FOR Yii 2]]
|
|
|
|
To create your own behavior, you must define a class that implements the `IBehavior` interface. This can be accomplished by extending `CBehavior`. More specifically, you can extend `CModelBehavior` or `CActiveRecordBehavior` for behaviors to be used specifically with models or with Active Record models.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class MyBehavior extends CActiveRecordBehavior
|
|
{
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To make your behavior customizable, like `AutoTimestamp`, add public properties:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class MyBehavior extends CActiveRecordBehavior
|
|
{
|
|
public $attr;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, when the behavior is used, you can set the attribute to which you'd want the behavior to be applied:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class User extends ActiveRecord
|
|
{
|
|
// ...
|
|
|
|
public function behaviors()
|
|
{
|
|
return [
|
|
'mybehavior' => [
|
|
'class' => 'ext\mybehavior\MyBehavior',
|
|
'attr' => 'member_type'
|
|
],
|
|
],
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Behaviors are normally written to take action when certain model-related events occur, such as `beforeSave` or `afterFind`. You can write your behaviors to have the corresponding method. Within the method, you can access the model instance through `$this->getOwner()`:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
class MyBehavior extends CActiveRecordBehavior
|
|
{
|
|
public $attr;
|
|
public function beforeSave() {
|
|
$model = $this->getOwner();
|
|
// Use $model->$attr
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
``` |
