Implementsyii\base\Configurable
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/behaviors/BlameableBehavior.php

BlameableBehavior automatically fills the specified attributes with the current user ID.

To use BlameableBehavior, insert the following code to your ActiveRecord class:

use yii\behaviors\BlameableBehavior;

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        BlameableBehavior::class,
    ];
}

By default, BlameableBehavior will fill the created_by and updated_by attributes with the current user ID when the associated AR object is being inserted; it will fill the updated_by attribute with the current user ID when the AR object is being updated.

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_by and updated_by should not appear in the rules() method of the model.

If your attribute names are different, you may configure the $createdByAttribute and $updatedByAttribute properties like the following:

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        [
            'class' => BlameableBehavior::class,
            'createdByAttribute' => 'author_id',
            'updatedByAttribute' => 'updater_id',
        ],
    ];
}

Property Details

Hide inherited properties

$createdByAttribute public property

The attribute that will receive current user ID value Set this property to false if you do not want to record the creator ID.

public string $createdByAttribute = 'created_by'
$defaultValue public property (available since version 2.0.14)

Default value for cases when the user is guest

public mixed $defaultValue = null
$updatedByAttribute public property

The attribute that will receive current user ID value Set this property to false if you do not want to record the updater ID.

public string $updatedByAttribute = 'updated_by'
$value public property

In case, when the property is null, the value of Yii::$app->user->id will be used as the value.

The value that will be assigned to the current attributes. This can be an anonymous function, callable in array format (e.g. [$this, 'methodName']), an Expression object representing a DB expression (e.g. new Expression('NOW()')), scalar, string or an arbitrary value. If the former, the return value of the function will be assigned to the attributes. The signature of the function should be as follows,

function ($event)
{
    // return value will be assigned to the attribute
}
public mixed $value = null

Method Details

__call() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name
$params array

Method parameters
return mixed

The method return value
throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

{
    throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

 

                public function __construct($config = [])
{
    if (!empty($config)) {
        Yii::configure($this, $config);
    }
    $this->init();
}
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__get()

Returns the value of an object property.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;.

See also __set().

public mixed __get ( $name )
$name string

The property name
return mixed

The property value
throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

        return $this->$getter();
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'set' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Getting write-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Getting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
__isset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).

Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name
return boolean

Whether the named property is set (not null).

 

                public function __isset($name)
{
    $getter = 'get' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
        return $this->$getter() !== null;
    }
    return false;
}
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__set()

{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter($value);
    } elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    } else {
        throw new UnknownPropertyException('Setting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
}
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__unset()

Sets an object property to null.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property).

    }
}
attach() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Behavior::attach()

public void attach ( $owner )
$owner yii\base\Component

The component that this behavior is to be attached to.

 

                public function attach($owner)
{

    foreach ($this->events() as $event => $handler) {
        $this->_attachedEvents[$event] = $handler;
        $owner->on($event, is_string($handler) ? [$this, $handler] : $handler);
    }
}
canGetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::canGetProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.

A property is readable if:

  • the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);

See also canSetProperty().

                public function canSetProperty($name, $checkVars = true)
{
    return method_exists($this, 'set' . $name) || $checkVars && property_exists($this, $name);
}
className() public static method

public static string className ( )
return string

The fully qualified name of this class.

 

                public static function className()
{
    return get_called_class();
}
detach() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Behavior::detach()

Detaches the behavior object from the component.

The default implementation will unset the $owner property and detach event handlers declared in events(). Make sure you call the parent implementation if you override this method.

public void detach ( )

                public function detach()
{
    if ($this->owner) {
        foreach ($this->_attachedEvents as $event => $handler) {
            $this->owner->off($event, is_string($handler) ? [$this, $handler] : $handler);
        }

        $this->owner = null;
    }
}
evaluateAttributes() public method

Defined in: yii\behaviors\AttributeBehavior::evaluateAttributes()

Evaluates the attribute value and assigns it to the current attributes.

public void evaluateAttributes ( $event )
$event yii\base\Event 

                public function evaluateAttributes($event)
{
    if (
        $this->skipUpdateOnClean
        && $event->name == ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_UPDATE
        && empty($this->owner->dirtyAttributes)
    ) {
        return;
    }
    if (!empty($this->attributes[$event->name])) {
        $attributes = (array) $this->attributes[$event->name];
        $value = $this->getValue($event);
        foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
            // ignore attribute names which are not string (e.g. when set by TimestampBehavior::updatedAtAttribute)
            if (is_string($attribute)) {
                if ($this->preserveNonEmptyValues && !empty($this->owner->$attribute)) {
                    continue;
                }
                $this->owner->$attribute = $value;
            }
        }
    }
}
events() public method

Defined in: yii\behaviors\AttributeBehavior::events()

Declares event handlers for the $owner's events.

Child classes may override this method to declare what PHP callbacks should be attached to the events of the $owner component.

The callbacks will be attached to the $owner's events when the behavior is attached to the owner; and they will be detached from the events when the behavior is detached from the component.

The callbacks can be any of the following:

  • method in this behavior: 'handleClick', equivalent to [$this, 'handleClick']
  • object method: [$object, 'handleClick']
  • static method: ['Page', 'handleClick']
  • anonymous function: function ($event) { ... }

The following is an example:

[
    Model::EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE => 'myBeforeValidate',
    Model::EVENT_AFTER_VALIDATE => 'myAfterValidate',
]
public array events ( )
return array

Events (array keys) and the corresponding event handler methods (array values).

 

                public function events()
{
    return array_fill_keys(
        array_keys($this->attributes),
        'evaluateAttributes'
    );
}
getDefaultValue() protected method (available since version 2.0.14)

Get default value

protected array|mixed getDefaultValue ( $event )
$event yii\base\Event 

                protected function getDefaultValue($event)
{
    if ($this->defaultValue instanceof \Closure || (is_array($this->defaultValue) && is_callable($this->defaultValue))) {
        return call_user_func($this->defaultValue, $event);
    }
    return $this->defaultValue;
}
getValue() protected method

Returns the value for the current attributes.

In case, when the $value property is null, the value of $defaultValue will be used as the value.

This method is called by evaluateAttributes(). Its return value will be assigned to the attributes corresponding to the triggering event.

protected mixed getValue ( $event )
$event yii\base\Event

The event that triggers the current attribute updating.
return mixed

The attribute value

 

                protected function getValue($event)
{
    if ($this->value === null && Yii::$app->has('user')) {
        $userId = Yii::$app->get('user')->id;
        if ($userId === null) {
            return $this->getDefaultValue($event);
        }
        return $userId;
    } elseif ($this->value === null) {
        return $this->getDefaultValue($event);
    }
    return parent::getValue($event);
}
hasMethod() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::hasMethod()

Returns a value indicating whether a method is defined.

The default implementation is a call to php function method_exists(). You may override this method when you implemented the php magic method __call().

public boolean hasMethod ( $name )
$name string

The method name
return boolean

Whether the method is defined

 

                public function hasMethod($name)
{
    return method_exists($this, $name);
}
hasProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::hasProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property is defined.

A property is defined if:

  • the class has a getter or setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);

See also:

public boolean hasProperty ( $name, $checkVars = true )
$name string

The property name
$checkVars boolean

Whether to treat member variables as properties
return boolean

Whether the property is defined

 

                public function hasProperty($name, $checkVars = true)
{
    return $this->canGetProperty($name, $checkVars) || $this->canSetProperty($name, false);
}
init() public method

Initializes the object.

This method is invoked at the end of the constructor after the object is initialized with the given configuration.

public void init ( )

                public function init()
{
    parent::init();
    if (empty($this->attributes)) {
        $this->attributes = [
            BaseActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_INSERT => [$this->createdByAttribute, $this->updatedByAttribute],
            BaseActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_UPDATE => $this->updatedByAttribute,
        ];
    }
}
