README

Extended models for Gii, the code generator of Yii2 Framework

What is it?

Hii provides automatic model generation for complex db models. It supports:

• many relations between two models
• 'name2other_name' db table names
• cascade model structure:

models
|- base / model.php  <- this one has automaticly generated relations
|- model.php

• relation to self is possible only by setting it in 'customRelations'
• autogenerating static methods findBy{UniqieField}

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

composer.phar require grzegorz-pierzakowski/hii:"*"

or you can add this into the composer.json:

"grzegorz-pierzakowski/hii": "*"

The Hii-model generator is registered automatically in the application bootstrap process, if the Gii module is enabled

Use custom options (It's in params untill Yii2 enables passing config to generators)

$config['params']['hii-model'] = [
            // put your custom pairs of 'table' => 'ModelName' map here
            'tableModelMap' => [
            ],
            // put your pairs of 'column_name' => 'RelationSuffix' map here
            // this will allow to generate more than one relation between 2 models
            'customRelations' => [
            ]
        ]
       

Usage

Visit your application's Gii (eg. index.php?r=gii and choose Hii Model from the main menu screen.

For basic usage instructions see the Yii2 Guide section for Gii.

Let's assume you have a ggroup table represented by Group object and ggroup has user_id and user_last_id columns. You have two relations to User object then. If you set the project as:

$config['params']['hii-model'] = [
    'customRelations' => [
        'last_user_id' => 'Last'
    ],
    'tableModelMap' => [
        'ggroup' => 'Group'
    ]
]

Magic will happen and your models will have relations as below:

Group User->myGroup
Group User->myGroupLast
User Group->lastUser
User Group->user
