Interacting with models

Create a new class for your custom post type

namespace Otomaties\Events\Models;

use Otomaties\WpModels\PostType;

class Event extends PostType {
	/**
     * This method will override the parent method which shows the post date.
     */
    public function date() : DateTime
    {
        $date = $this->meta()->get('date');
        return $date ? DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', $date) : null;
    }
	
    public function time() : string
    {
        return substr($this->meta()->get('time'), 0, 5);
    }

	// ... more custom methods

    public static function postType() : string
    {
        return 'event';
    }
}

$event = new Otomaties\Events\Models\Event(420);
esc_html_e($event->getId()); // Post ID
esc_html_e($event->title()); // Post title
esc_html_e($event->slug()); // Post slug
esc_html_e($event->meta()->get('meta_key')); // Meta (single)
esc_html_e($event->meta()->get('meta_keys', false)); // Meta (multiple)
esc_html_e($event->date()->format('d-m-Y')); // Custom method
esc_html_e($event->time()); // Custom method

$event->meta()->set('meta_key', 'meta_value');
$event->meta()->add('meta_key', 'meta_value_2');
