second step - patch entity, your request data becomes a frozenDate object |

ricksaccous |
so first step - request data |

you can safely save a FrozenTime object and cake will translate it however it needs to |

@swimboy generally when you save dates and you patchEntity cake will transform the date into a FrozenTime object |

Couldn't quite figure it out, though. |

OK. I just saw the `Time::niceFormat` section in the book, and thought maybe that would help make things more straightforward. |

Sounds about right to me |

Apr 19th 2019, 17:35 |

right way to do it. Any suggestions? |

I'm a little lost regarding displaying dates and storing them in my database. I want to display them (and have the user enter them) as "04/19/2017" but the database wants them stored as "2017-04-19." I've originally set `Cake\I18n\Date::setToStringFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');` in my bootstrap, and then use a function to convert any date field in POST requests to the SQL format before saving the record. It works, but it sure doesn't feel like the |

the autocomplete is contextual and it will list only methods of current class, so it's not like you are going to get multiple "create" in the list |

I thought having a noun first would kind of help when you're looking up that function in the list (so it'd all get sorted by it), but I guess that's not important |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:52 |
admad |
no need for "createAccount() |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:51 |
admad |
I would actually drop the noun too. Cause for eg. $this->Accounts->create() is good enough |

Got it, thanks a lot! |

nmv, using the verb first is common practice |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:50 |
admad |
in which class? |

Hi guys, what do you think would be a better practice, naming methods `createAccount()` and `deleteAccount()` or `accountCreate()` and `accountDelete()`? Checked book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/intro/conventions.html and it says *While you can route multiple word controllers in any way you like*. Nothing on https://www.dereuromark.de/2010/10/08/complete-cakephp-naming-conventions/ either |

ok |

and then you can add caching to those, using findBy is just a quick convenience method that you should probably avoid |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:07 |

or getById(int $id) |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:07 |
royalty |
getByWhatever(string $param) |

like |

Apr 19th 2019, 11:07 |

asdfgh, it's better to define your own findBy queries |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:06 |
asdfgh |
i have tried to add cache() but it is not recognized |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:06 |
asdfgh |
ricks it seems that we cannot use cache() for findBy... queries |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:05 |
ricksaccous |
it might work without using TableRegistry |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:05 |
ricksaccous |
so if you want to try again with tableLocator |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:04 |
asdfgh |
yes correct |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:03 |
ricksaccous |
you'd have to do TableLocator->get(); |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:03 |
ricksaccous |
the mistake you might be making is if you use TableLocator::get it won't work because the method is not static |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:03 |
asdfgh |
debug(TableRegistry::getTableLocator()->get("ActivityTypes")->findByActivity('view')->first()); |

it seems that |

ricks your code works! |

Apr 19th 2019, 11:01 |

oh weird |

thanks |

Apr 19th 2019, 11:00 |
asdfgh |
ok i try |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:00 |
asdfgh |
i mean tableregistry is still working but i would like to understand how to use tablelocator |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:00 |
asdfgh |
we must use tablelocator |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 11:00 |
asdfgh |
ricksaccous i read it is deprecated in 4 |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 10:58 |
ricksaccous |
then you should be able to do $activityType->id |
