[SOLVED] Yii2 Gii Table Prefix

Yii2 Gii Table Prefix

I allways setup table prefix - for this post lets say my prefix is abc_. So in common\config\main-local.php. I have:

'components' => [
'db' => [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database',
    'username' => 'user',
    'password' => 'pwd',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
    'tablePrefix' => 'abc_',
],
...

I have worked on Yii1 and used gii to generate models. In this version it generated files like: table.php.

Now I work with Yii2 and learn the differences: gii generate files like abc_table.php. Yes - I checked "Use Table Prefix".

This is not ok because prefix should be transparent. Could please anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Solution

You may change the model class name AbcTest to Test. For future model generations, check the Use Table Prefix field in the Gii tool. Gii generate correct model like this:

class Test extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public static function tableName()
    {
        return '{{%test}}';
    }
    ...
}

In tableName method, it returns '{{%test}}' if you check Use Table Prefix in the Gii tool. If you do not check the Use Table Prefix, this method return 'abc_test' and generated model class will be named as AbcTest.
