# May 19th 2021, 16:52 khalil (for your eyes only) I switch to Cake 4 months ago, after using Cake 2 for like 7 years :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 I'm slowly upgrading it for CakePHP 4.x
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 x)
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 khalil PS: I'm checking admiral :)
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 khalil Yuppp
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 And that's where good old OOP got ya covered :)
# May 19th 2021, 16:49 khalil 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
# May 19th 2021, 16:48 khalil Hahahaha Always :)
# May 19th 2021, 16:48 me1367 also, keep your code DRY :P
# May 19th 2021, 16:47 me1367 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.
# May 19th 2021, 16:46 khalil Very helpful! thanks again :))
# May 19th 2021, 16:46 khalil 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
# May 19th 2021, 16:45 me1367 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); }```
# May 19th 2021, 16:43 khalil That's why I need access there :)
# May 19th 2021, 16:42 khalil 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)
# May 19th 2021, 16:41 slackebot 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,
# May 19th 2021, 16:41 khalil @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
# May 19th 2021, 16:39 neon1024 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
# May 19th 2021, 16:31 neon1024 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
# May 19th 2021, 14:14 ndm no problem
# May 19th 2021, 14:13 neon1024 Signs are good, thanks again @ndm really appreciate the help and guidance with all this new Cake 4 stuff :thumbsup:
# May 19th 2021, 14:03 neon1024 I’ll try a middleware and see how I get on
# May 19th 2021, 14:03 neon1024 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
# May 19th 2021, 13:59 ndm 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
