In an application I’m working on, every table has the same common columns - creator_id, updater_id, date_created, last_updated. I want to be able to have default rules and relations for these columns in my models. In order to achieve that, there is EActiveRecord (that extends CActiveRecord) class and all other models inherit from that.
What I want to do is to use rules
function in the child classes without merge and it automatically merged the parent rules to it? I have achieved that when using relations by calling getMetaData()->addRelation
in the class, so the child classes just define a ‘relations’ function and its all good.
So, far I have created an abstract defaultRules class in the parent and the children have to use the defaultRules and everything works perfectly. But it would be more optimal if I can use the rules
function. Is that even possible? I dug through the source of CModel and found out that its calling the rules function to achieve that… Is there a way to have addRule function in the class that I can use? (extensions will be fine too)
