I am working on Yii2 using Gii to generate models. What I am trying to do is to customize my models such that all of them will have the following function
public static function getFoobarList()
{
$models = Foobar::find()->all();
return ArrayHelper::map($models, 'id', 'foobar');
}
Where Foobar is the name of individual models.
Thank you in advance.
You can create a custom template for your models which gii can use to generate your class.
Something like the following, added to the top of a copy of the file /vendor/yiisoft/yii2-gii/generators/model/default/model.php
and the new file stored in, for example, @app/myTemplates/model/default
/**
* your doc string
*/
public static function get<?php echo $className; ?>List()
{
$models = static::find()->all();
return ArrayHelper::map($models, 'id', static::tableName());
}
will add the method you're looking for to any model created with the new template.
In your config something like
// config/web.php for basic app
// ...
if (YII_ENV_DEV) {
$config['modules']['gii'] = [
'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
'allowedIPs' => ['127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.0.*', '192.168.178.20'],
'generators' => [ //here
'model' => [ // generator name
'class' => 'yii\gii\generators\model\Generator', // generator class
'templates' => [ //setting for out templates
'myModel' => '@app/myTemplates/model/default', // template name => path to template
]
]
],
];
}
will allow you to select your custom template when using gii, from the 'Code Template' menu.
