This is a Base Model that can be extended to define Models. It helps handling data validation, and data conversion.

Features

• Validation of properties. All, except the isNotEmpty, doesn't validate the data if it is empty. The following validator are available:
  • isNotEmpty
  • isNumeric
  • isInteger
  • isFloat
  • isString
  • isBoolean
  • isTrue
  • isFalse
  • isNull
  • isNotNull
  • isArray
  • isEmail
• Model to array and JSON, preserving hidden attributes.
• Define attributes using arrays of data.
• Can define, when validation fails, if an exception is thrown.
• Can define if data should be validated or not.

Installation

composer require lfbn/base-model

How to use it

Define your model extending the AbstractBaseModel, then implement a public method getValidationRules. This method should define the properties you want to validate.

Here is an example:

class User extends AbstractBaseModel
{

    /**
     * @var int
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @var string
     */
    protected $name;

    /**
     * @var float
     */
    protected $height;

    /**
     * @var boolean
     */
    protected $active;

    /**
     * @return int
     */
    public function getId(): int
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    /**
     * @param int $id
     */
    public function setId(int $id): void
    {
        $this->id = $id;
    }

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getName(): string
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    /**
     * @param string $name
     */
    public function setName(string $name): void
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    /**
     * @return float
     */
    public function getHeight(): float
    {
        return $this->height;
    }

    /**
     * @param float $height
     */
    public function setHeight(float $height): void
    {
        $this->height = $height;
    }

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function isActive(): bool
    {
        return $this->active;
    }

    /**
     * @param bool $active
     */
    public function setActive(bool $active): void
    {
        $this->active = $active;
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function getValidationRules()
    {
        return [
            ['property' => 'id', 'validator' => 'isNotEmpty'],
            ['property' => 'id', 'validator' => 'isInteger'],
            ['property' => 'height', 'validator' => 'isFloat'],
            ['property' => 'active', 'validator' => 'isBoolean']
        ];
    }
}

How to know if is valid?

You need to call the validate() method

$user = new User();
$user->validate();

Can I use my own validator?

Yes. It only needs to implement the interface IValidator.

$user = new User();
$myValidator = new MyValidator();
$user->setValidator($myValidator);

Can I use my own converter?

Yes. It only needs to implement the interface IConverter.

$user = new User();
$myConverter = new MyConverter();
$user->setConverter($myConverter);
