Hello, I have a project in cake 2.9.1 I have already placed into the root of the virtual machine and is showing me just the directory. I have installed and set up its DB, gave permissions to write to the folders and subfolders. I have tried everything during the whole day and do not what else to do |

Blimey I almost sound like I know what I’m doing :flushed: |

Especially in collection style classes imho |

Just remember, Composition over Inheritance |

If you wanted to make it more future proof, you could implement your own Registry |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:15 |
neon1024 |
Then call the method which does the dependant create |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:15 |
birdy247 |
shouldSaveRuler |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:15 |
neon1024 |
Which did that check |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:15 |
neon1024 |
Well you’d write a method |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:14 |
birdy247 |
would it do this lookup in the savePen() method |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:14 |
birdy247 |
and if when saving a Pen, it looks at the 'StationaryCubpaordForPenRules" to see if it needs to save a Ruler |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:14 |
neon1024 |
`function build(?Pen $pen, ?Ruler $ruler): Stationary` |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:13 |
neon1024 |
Or chain them from the initial parent id. With it’s own class you have more freedom :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:13 |
birdy247 |
ok, this sounds good |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:13 |
neon1024 |
You could even have a method which creates a whole collection from id’s or something |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:12 |
neon1024 |
The advantage for me here is that I can use that class anywhere |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:12 |
birdy247 |
Pens, Rulers etc... all belongTo an invoiceItem |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:12 |
birdy247 |
I kind of alreayd have stattionary |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:12 |
neon1024 |
Just my thoughts anyway :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:11 |
neon1024 |
I mean, urgh, I can’t believe I’ll say this, you could make magic methods for `has{Thing}()` |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:10 |
neon1024 |
`$stationary->hasPen()` `$stationary->hasRuler()` |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:10 |
neon1024 |
Then you can have whatever accessor methods you like |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:10 |
neon1024 |
So the way the objects are dependent is represented in code |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:10 |
neon1024 |
Then you can just add extra methods in the class to create Rulers, Highlighters, Protractors |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:09 |
neon1024 |
`public function save(array $data){ if (!empty($data['Pen']) { $this->Pen = $this->Pens->createEntity($data['Pen']) }` etc |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:09 |
neon1024 |
Then the class just has |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:09 |
neon1024 |
`$stationary = new Stationary();` `$stationary->save($dataArray)` perhaps |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:08 |
neon1024 |
No, wai t asec |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:07 |
neon1024 |
`$stationary = new Stationary(Pen $pen, Ruler $ruler);` |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:07 |
neon1024 |
If the objects are tightly coupled, wrapping up the way they are created feels logical to me |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:06 |
birdy247 |
Thats why I put the logic into Listeners, as it never really felt like it belonged anywhere |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:06 |
birdy247 |
The main issue is, if a Pen needs to save a Ruler, is dpendent on some other information |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:05 |
birdy247 |
but are you suggesting to move this into another class? |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:05 |
birdy247 |
Everything we are saving is rpresented by a cake model |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:05 |
birdy247 |
It feels quite complex whats happening, but I know it could be made beautfiully simple |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:04 |
birdy247 |
continuous improvement :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jun 22nd 2018, 08:04 |
birdy247 |
no not at all |
