Behavior that implements fluent interface methods for component attributes.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require consik/yii2-fluent

or add

"consik/yii2-fluent": "^1.0"

FluentComponentBehavior class description

Properties

• array $attributes = []

Associative or simple array of attributes that can be changed using fluent interface. For associative definition key is alias for attributes methods; Value is always component attribute name;

• string $initArraysIfEmpty = true

Defines need bahavior to initialize property as array if it's empty and !is_array() when calling array-access fluent methods(like add*Property*($item))

Public methods

Universal fluent methods for owner component

• $this setProperty(string $property, mixed $value)

Sets value to component property

• $this unsetProperty(string $property)

Unsets component property

• $this addItemTo(string $arrName, mixed $value, bool $initOnEmpty = true)

Adds $item to array property with name $arrName;

Throws exception if $component->{$arrName} is !empty() && !is_array();

initializes $component->{$arrName} as empty array if ($initOnEmpty && empty($component->{$arrName})) ;

Examples

Short definition of behavior. Behavior will implement all available fluent methods for ALL component attributes

<?php
use consik\yii2fluent\FluentComponentBehavior;

class Test extends \yii\base\Component
{
    public $isNew;
    public $comments;

    public function behaviors()
     {
         return [
            FluentComponentBehavior::className()
         ];
     }
}

Available fluent methods for this definition:

• (new Test())
• ->setProperty($name, $value)
• ->unsetProperty($name)
• ->addItemTo($arrName, $arrayItem)
• ->setIsNew($value)
• ->unsetIsNew()
• ->addIsNew($arrayItem)
• ->setComments($value)
• ->unsetComments()
• ->addComments($arrayItem)

Extended definition of behavior, for enumerated properties, with alias for one of property.

<?php
use consik\yii2fluent\FluentComponentBehavior;

class Test extends \yii\base\Component
{
    public $isNew;
    public $comments;
    public $fluentUnaccessable;

    public function behaviors()
     {
         return [
            [
                'class' => FluentComponentBehavior::className(),
                'attributes' => [
                    'new' => 'isNew',
                    'comments'
                ]
         ];
     }
}

Available fluent methods for this definition:

• (new Test())
• ->setProperty($name, $value)
• ->unsetProperty($name)
• ->addItemTo($arrName, $arrayItem)
• ->setNew($value)
• ->unsetNew()
• ->addNew($arrayItem)
• ->setComments($value)
• ->unsetComments()
• ->addComments($arrayItem)

Be helpful!

Don't forget about other developers and write comments for your classes!

Basic comment for all components with attached FluentInterfaceBehavior

@method $this setProperty(string $name, $value)
@method $this unsetProperty(string $name)
@method $this addItemTo(string $arrName, mixed $item, bool $initOnEmpty = true)

<?php
/*
 * Class YourClass
 * @method $this setProperty(string $name, $value)
 * @method $this unsetProperty(string $name)
 * @method $this addItemTo(string $arrName, mixed $item, bool $initOnEmpty = true)
 */
 class YourClass extends \yii\base\components { ... }

And, please, don't forget writing comments about defined fluent methods for your component properties!!!
