I am |

Jul 12th 2021, 19:44 |
cnizzardini |
then try beforeMarshall |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:44 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
That feels "stinky" |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:44 |
cnizzardini |
nothing wrong with doing it in the controller either |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:44 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
hmmmmm |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:44 |
cnizzardini |
so beforeMarshall could be an option |
| # |

```public function _setToken($token = null): string { if (!$token) { return Security::randomString(32); } return $token; }``` |

tyler.adam.lazenby |
Dang it, the entity doesn't save it by default |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:42 |
japerlman |
yeah I keep getting the cake 3 docs and it takes me longer than it should to realize |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:42 |
japerlman |
thanks for the help |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:42 |
japerlman |
ok yeah it was the missing use, sorry guys. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:41 |
cnizzardini |
i suppose it would fail on marshall if not set before |

i was just looking at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8344189/cakephp-set-default-field-values-in-the-model |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:40 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
the entity is the best place for this I think |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:40 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
I agree with kevin |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:40 |
kevin.pfeifer |
i would guess the default value shoul be present before the save is being triggered |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:40 |
cnizzardini |
im surprised there is no option for this in Entity |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:40 |
kevin.pfeifer |
well, i looked at the cake3 doc, not the cake4…damn google, why do you still rank 3 higher than 4 |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:39 |
cnizzardini |
and set the value of its null or whatever |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:39 |
cnizzardini |
you could use a beforeSave |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:39 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
I like the idea of a field rule that will be system wide to be on the model and not action specific |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:39 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
Exactly |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
cnizzardini |
that seems odd, what if the entity is created elsewhere too? |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
dereuromark |
It is actually EventInterface :P but no biggy |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
kevin.pfeifer |
otherwise you could set the default value on the field as well i guess |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
kevin.pfeifer |
so in the empty entity when your in the add function e.g. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
really? |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:38 |
kevin.pfeifer |
default values should be set in the controller as far as I know |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:37 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
yeah |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:37 |
cnizzardini |
maybe the entity |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:36 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
I think this should be on the table/model but I am not sure where I would do that |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:36 |
cnizzardini |
^ yes |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:36 |
kevin.pfeifer |
So if no FQCN is set it tries to autoload the Event class from the point where its currently at… |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:36 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
Is there a way to specify a default value for a field? For example, a way to make it so that the system generates a token using the Security randomChar() method |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:34 |
cnizzardini |
will `return false;` actually stop a save? |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:34 |
kevin.pfeifer |
add `use Cake\Event\Event;` at the top |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:34 |
dereuromark |
Someone should be using an IDE like phpstorm |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:34 |
dereuromark |
He is just missing use statements. |
