/**
 * TimestampBehavior automatically fills the specified attributes with the current timestamp.
 *
 * To use TimestampBehavior, insert the following code to your ActiveRecord class:
 *
 * ```php
 * use yii\behaviors\TimestampBehavior;
 *
 * public function behaviors()
 * {
 *     return [
 *         TimestampBehavior::className(),
 *     ];
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * By default, TimestampBehavior will fill the `created_at` and `updated_at` attributes with the current timestamp
 * when the associated AR object is being inserted; it will fill the `updated_at` attribute
 * with the timestamp when the AR object is being updated. The timestamp value is obtained by `time()`.
 *
 * Because attribute values will be set automatically by this behavior, they are usually not user input and should therefore
 * not be validated, i.e. `created_at` and `updated_at` should not appear in the [[\yii\base\Model::rules()|rules()]] method of the model.
 *
 * For the above implementation to work with MySQL database, please declare the columns(`created_at`, `updated_at`) as int(11) for being UNIX timestamp.
 *
 * If your attribute names are different or you want to use a different way of calculating the timestamp,
 * you may configure the [[createdAtAttribute]], [[updatedAtAttribute]] and [[value]] properties like the following:
 *
 * ```php
 * use yii\db\Expression;
 *
 * public function behaviors()
 * {
 *     return [
 *         [
 *             'class' => TimestampBehavior::className(),
 *             'createdAtAttribute' => 'create_time',
 *             'updatedAtAttribute' => 'update_time',
 *             'value' => new Expression('NOW()'),
 *         ],
 *     ];
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * In case you use an [[\yii\db\Expression]] object as in the example above, the attribute will not hold the timestamp value, but
 * the Expression object itself after the record has been saved. If you need the value from DB afterwards you should call
 * the [[\yii\db\ActiveRecord::refresh()|refresh()]] method of the record.
 *
 * TimestampBehavior also provides a method named [[touch()]] that allows you to assign the current
 * timestamp to the specified attribute(s) and save them to the database. For example,
 *
 * ```php
 * $model->touch('creation_time');
 * ```
