eXeCUT Yii2 CRUD fields. CRUD without generators and code duplication ¶

1. Installation
2. Usage

This component allows you to automate many processes that occur in working with models, thereby reducing code duplication, and hence the total time spent:

• Writing validation rules for fields of the same type
• Writing Getters to Declare Various Relationships with Other Models
• Validating and Editing Linked Records
• Setting up the edit form for the model and its associated records
• Customizing the Model Record List
• Translating field names
• Adds the ability to extend models by a third-party module without adding new dependencies
• Simplifies the process of unit testing models

Installation ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require execut/yii2-crud-fields

or add

"execut/yii2-crud-fields": "dev-master"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage ¶

For example, the following few lines of code in a model:

namespace execut\books\models;
class Book extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord {
    use \execut\crudFields\BehaviorStub;
    public function behaviors() {
        return [
            \execut\crudFields\Behavior::KEY => [
                'class' => \execut\crudFields\Behavior::class,
                'fields' => [
                    'id' => [
                        'class' => \execut\crudFields\fields\Id::class,
                    ],
                    'name' => [
                        'class' => \execut\crudFields\fields\StringField::class,
                        'attribute' => 'name',
                        'required' => true,
                    ]
                ],
            ],
        ];
    }
}

will make all required for CRUD:

`php $model = new Book(); echo 'Validation rules for the search and edit scenario'; var_dump($model->rules()); echo 'Forming ActiveQuery based on filtering parameters and configuring ActiveDataProvider'; var_dump($model->search()); echo 'Formation of list columns settings'; var_dump($model->getGridColumns()); echo 'Formation of settings for the creation/editing form'; var_dump($model->getFormFields()); `

If we compare the implementation of such a model with a model without extension, we can see that the amount of code has changed in a positive direction:

Model on native Yii2 (85 lines) vs Model on CRUD fields (36 lines)

Or more strong example with books authors:

Model on native Yii2 (370 lines) vs Model on CRUD fields (116 lines)
