not sure about the contains though... probably only for the primary query |
| # |

jh |
->sql() will get you the sql (with placeholders) |

afair the query builder is lazy aka if you do not fetch something from it it is just a query object |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 16:16 |
jh |
toArray() will also run formatResults and not sure if only then or earlier all the accessors in the entities |

On any other day I'd be super curious about that, haha, today is just get-to-the-finish-line. But thanks modi |

pretty much transforms it into an array of entities, which is great because there is a lot you can do with entity magic |

oh thank god. :the_horns: |

Sep 12th 2019, 16:11 |

it won't be exactly like cakephp2 but yep |

Last question today guys, I swear; is there any means at all of getting a query object to just dump an array of data as cake once did? One of those days where I jsut want to get the work done and do the learning on my own time... |

like so https://gist.github.com/inoas/1226835ee066cf54c3bf1f30b1ec028d |

@admad yay it works... custom AppErrorMiddleware |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:45 |
jh |
I would be explicit about it. |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:45 |
jh |
a references b references a |

@ricksaccous if you setup a recursive function, yes, but do not forget that there can be loops so you need to stop the looping |

:slightly_smiling_face: |

Sep 12th 2019, 15:43 |
ricksaccous |
oh well, good luck |

Sep 12th 2019, 15:43 |

lolll |

70 page CV, would anyone even read that |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:43 |
this.impetus |
He has a 70 page CV. Guy is a luminary. Haha, but in any case, failing to have found a magic bullet, I'll just do it by hand. thanks, as usual |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:42 |
ricksaccous |
but it also sounds like if it's just a single CV how bad could the query actually be anyway |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:42 |
ricksaccous |
welp, good luck sounds like you could adjust the associations based on request data though |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:41 |
this.impetus |
lol I need all the fields, haha. I'm building a digital CV for an academic who wants it utterly modular so a visitor could assemble a PDF based on which lines they want, it's a crazy amount of work to just print out what is essentially a document |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:40 |
ricksaccous |
i know it's tedious but sometimes it's worth it |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:40 |
ricksaccous |
you might want to specify fields in the contain array if you could |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:40 |
ricksaccous |
really really really slow |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:39 |
ricksaccous |
that query might be really really really slow |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:39 |
this.impetus |
recursive retrieval is indeed what I'm after here. I can just write this out as an array, it's just tedious |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:39 |
ricksaccous |
not just all associations on the main table |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:39 |
ricksaccous |
it seems he wants child associations of child associations |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:38 |
this.impetus |
@jh I'll give that a shot, thanks |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:38 |
ricksaccous |
@jh would that work recursively though? |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:38 |
jh |
try get_class_methods($this->Articles) should have some getAssociations() or so class |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
this.impetus |
@ricksaccous yeah I figured. I just *actually* have a context where it is required—the relationships go several assocations deep and I actually need them all |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
jh |
but it is bad practise |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
so i listened |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
jh |
you can do that by getting a list of all assocaitions from the table class |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
then @dereuromark told me don't be a lazy boi |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
I once wanted to contain all the associations like you |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
so $this->find() will be sufficient |
| # |
Sep 12th 2019, 15:36 |
ricksaccous |
and that's the default actually |
