attributeLabels() public method

Returns the attribute labels.

Attribute labels are mainly used for display purpose. For example, given an attribute firstName, we can declare a label First Name which is more user-friendly and can be displayed to end users.

By default an attribute label is generated using generateAttributeLabel(). This method allows you to explicitly specify attribute labels.

Note, in order to inherit labels defined in the parent class, a child class needs to merge the parent labels with child labels using functions such as array_merge().

public array attributeLabels ( )
return	array	Attribute labels (name => label)

autoCompleteData() public method

The array keys are the attribute names, and the array values are the corresponding auto complete values. Auto complete values can also be callable typed in order one want to make postponed data generation.

public array autoCompleteData ( )
return	array	The list of auto complete values

Generates the table name by considering table prefix.

If $useTablePrefix is false, the table name will be returned without change.

return	string	The generated table name

getDbConnection() protected method

protected yii\db\Connection getDbConnection ( )
return	yii\db\Connection	The DB connection as specified by $db.

getDbDriverName() protected method (available since version 2.0.6)

protected string|null getDbDriverName ( )
return	string|null	Driver name of db connection. In case db is not instance of \yii\db\Connection null will be returned.

getDescription() public method

public string getDescription ( )
return	string	The detailed description of the generator.

getName() public method

public string getName ( )
return	string	Name of the code generator

getSchemaNames() protected method (available since version 2.0.5)

protected string[] getSchemaNames ( )
return	string[]	All db schema names or an array with a single empty string
throws	yii\base\NotSupportedException

getTableNames() protected method

protected array getTableNames ( )
return	array	The table names that match the pattern specified by $tableName.

getTablePrefix() public method (available since version 2.0.5)

Returns the tablePrefix property of the DB connection as specified

See also getDbConnection().

public string getTablePrefix ( )

hints() public method

Returns the list of hint messages.

The array keys are the attribute names, and the array values are the corresponding hint messages. Hint messages will be displayed to end users when they are filling the form for the generator.

public array hints ( )
return	array	The list of hint messages

isColumnAutoIncremental() protected method

Checks if any of the specified columns is auto incremental.

protected boolean isColumnAutoIncremental ( $table, $columns )
$table	yii\db\TableSchema	The table schema
$columns	array	Columns to check for autoIncrement property
return	boolean	Whether any of the specified columns is auto incremental.

isHasManyRelation() protected method (available since version 2.0.5)

Determines if relation is of has many type

protected boolean isHasManyRelation ( $table, $fks )
$table	yii\db\TableSchema
$fks	array

requiredTemplates() public method

Returns a list of code template files that are required.

Derived classes usually should override this method if they require the existence of certain template files.

public array requiredTemplates ( )
return	array	List of code template files that are required. They should be file paths relative to $templatePath.

rules() public method

Returns the validation rules for attributes.

Validation rules are used by validate() to check if attribute values are valid. Child classes may override this method to declare different validation rules.

Each rule is an array with the following structure:

[
    ['attribute1', 'attribute2'],
    'validator type',
    'on' => ['scenario1', 'scenario2'],
    //...other parameters...
]

where

• attribute list: required, specifies the attributes array to be validated, for single attribute you can pass a string;
• validator type: required, specifies the validator to be used. It can be a built-in validator name, a method name of the model class, an anonymous function, or a validator class name.
• on: optional, specifies the scenarios array in which the validation rule can be applied. If this option is not set, the rule will apply to all scenarios.
• additional name-value pairs can be specified to initialize the corresponding validator properties. Please refer to individual validator class API for possible properties.

A validator can be either an object of a class extending \yii\gii\generators\model\Validator, or a model class method (called inline validator) that has the following signature:

// $params refers to validation parameters given in the rule
function validatorName($attribute, $params)

In the above $attribute refers to the attribute currently being validated while $params contains an array of validator configuration options such as max in case of string validator. The value of the attribute currently being validated can be accessed as $this->$attribute. Note the $ before attribute; this is taking the value of the variable $attribute and using it as the name of the property to access.

Yii also provides a set of \yii\gii\generators\model\Validator::builtInValidators. Each one has an alias name which can be used when specifying a validation rule.

Below are some examples:

[
    // built-in "required" validator
    [['username', 'password'], 'required'],
    // built-in "string" validator customized with "min" and "max" properties
    ['username', 'string', 'min' => 3, 'max' => 12],
    // built-in "compare" validator that is used in "register" scenario only
    ['password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'password2', 'on' => 'register'],
    // an inline validator defined via the "authenticate()" method in the model class
    ['password', 'authenticate', 'on' => 'login'],
    // a validator of class "DateRangeValidator"
    ['dateRange', 'DateRangeValidator'],
];

Note, in order to inherit rules defined in the parent class, a child class needs to merge the parent rules with child rules using functions such as array_merge().

Child classes should override this method like the following so that the parent rules are included:

return array_merge(parent::rules(), [
    ...rules for the child class...
]);

public array rules ( )
return	array	Validation rules
