That's basically why I wanted a way to have something I can access anywhere, instead of repeating the same logic in a component and a helper :P |

Hahahaha Always :) |

also, keep your code DRY :P |

It's just basic OOP, generally, unless you really screw up, it's fine to do so :P Just make sure you keep to the _general_ *structure* of CakePHP and you'll be fine. |

Very helpful! thanks again :)) |

Perfect man I was struggling with this and I had no idea about the utility class, and I always worry about doing something that is considered against CakePHP principles |

Ah yes, I thought you wanted it the opposite way around (from USD to local currency, not local currency to USD). Got it. But yea, that's just in the `beforeSave` . You'd end up with something like this: ```public function beforeSave() { $converter = new CurrencyConverter(); $converted = $converter->convert($amount); }``` |

That's why I need access there :) |

Now in the view, I can have a simple helper that convert the product price (USD) to your currency (saved in cookie) - when the vendor wants to add a product, I convert the price they enter (in their current currency) to USD and save it in the db ( I should do that in a beforeSave hook on the model level) |

I use that, if not, I detect your ip from a local library, detect your location, and based on your location I know your currency, this only happens on first visit cause after that I save it in a cookie, |
| # |

@me1367 I think you got me wrong, each product, needs a price to be saved in the db in the end, the base price in the db is USD, the exchange happen in the views, and when adding / editing products, meaning, the price in the db is $100, when you open the site, I detect if you're logged in, if yes, I get your currency (saved in the user profile) if you're not logged in, I check if you have a cookie "currency" saved, if yes, then |

There surely must be an easier way right? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:38 |
khalil |
That's not how it's built, the exchange rates are in php file on the server that gets updated automatically every 24 hours, the exchange rates base currency is USD, so that part is pretty straight forward |

Ooh, `withAttribute()` late afternoon blindness 8) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:30 |
neon1024 |
Or is another instance where I need to actually instantiate a bunch of stuff for the test? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:29 |
neon1024 |
How do I set an attribute on a ServerRequest instance? From what I can see in the code it’s literally a class property, but my unit test is telling me it’s getting a NULL and expecting an instance of AuthorizationService |
| # |

no problem |

Signs are good, thanks again @ndm really appreciate the help and guidance with all this new Cake 4 stuff :thumbsup: |

I’ll try a middleware and see how I get on |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:03 |

Attaching the behaviour using Model.initialize inside the Application.php works great, but again, I have no session there |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:02 |
ndm |
Well, that sounds all very theoretical to me right now, not sure what depends on what and when and.... :upside_down_face: |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:02 |
neon1024 |
Then, post Authorize, four tables stopped being filtered, and you nailed it. They’re all part of the auth finder :) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:02 |
neon1024 |
Hence the global bind using Model.initialize :) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:01 |
neon1024 |
Then the behaviour just amends the queries |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:01 |
neon1024 |
As if the user has the multi organisation permission, they can change to another organisation and I’ll update the session to track the data they can see |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:00 |
neon1024 |
I write the organisation to the session on login |
| # |

All events will bubble to the global event manager instance. |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:59 |
ndm |
Oh wait, you'd need to put it before authentication... but I guess you don't need to access to the identity for this? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:58 |
neon1024 |
Although I am using the static EventManager::instance so should be global right? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:58 |
neon1024 |
I’ll give it a go :thumbsup: |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:58 |
neon1024 |
Can the middleware observe a Model.initialize? :thinking_face: |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:57 |
ndm |
You might want to consider a custom middleware, you have access to the authentication result and the request object, thus the session. |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:56 |
neon1024 |
Now the Auth middleware is creating the instances without even calling the controller |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:56 |
neon1024 |
Binding on the Model.initialize worked great, as I had the session in the AppController, so could bind the behaviour and give it the config it needed |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:56 |
neon1024 |
This all stems from the fact the behaviour, which appends to the query, takes an organisation id from the session |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:55 |
neon1024 |
Or if I should re-bind the Behaivour to the existing instance in the 4 tables used in the Auth |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:55 |
neon1024 |
Now I’m wondering how I can either clear those instances after the Auth checks, so the AppController can pickup the Model.initialize |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:54 |
neon1024 |
You were right in the execution order, but I do not know how the TableRegistry is persisting instances |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:52 |
ndm |
Behaviors are not singleton-ish like tables, if that is what you are referring to, a new behavior instance is created for each table instance. |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:47 |
neon1024 |
`$table->behaviors()->get('FilterByOrganisation')->setConfig('organisation', $organisation->toArray());` |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 13:47 |
neon1024 |
I assumed i could update a behaviour on an instance in the registry, but doesn’t seem to work |
