I am writing an application where I have two models namely AngencyProfileand Ad. I have created a polymorphic relationship of the both models.
The structure of the ads table is as follows:
I need to write query scope for AngencyProfile to retrieve the agency profiles based on criteria, lets say where remaining_budget >= cpc.
How can I achieve this? Or is it possible?
The relationship and query scope that I am writing now is as follows:
public function ads() {
return $this->morphMany(Ad::class, 'advertisable');
}
public function scopeAdvertisable($query)
{
return $query->ads()->where('remaining_budget', '>=', 'cpc)->get();
}
This is throwing an exception.
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::ads()
Your help will be highly appreciated.
try changing following function
public function scopeAdvertisable($query)
{
return $query->ads()->where('remaining_budget', '>=', 'cpc)->get();
}
To
public function scopeAdvertisable($query)
{
return $query->with(['ads'=> function($query){
$query->where('remaining_budget', '>=', 'cpc);
}])
->get();
}
Update:
public function scopeAdvertisable($query)
{
return $query->whereHas('ads',function($query){
$query->where('remaining_budget', '>=', 'cpc);
})
->get();
}
I am working on something similar to Can I specify a lifecycle callback that fires for all waterline models in sails?.
I'd like to be able to reference the model definition in the callback, but only the attributes and id are currently sent to the afterUpdate. Is there a way to determine which model I'm working with, other than adding 'type' as an attribute?
Correct scoping plus this will work in config/models.js.
module.exports.models = {
attributes: { . . .},
afterUpdate: function (model) {
console.log(this.identity); //model name that triggered callback
console.log(this.definition); //model definition
//logic . . .
}
};
I am new to Laravel. I was looking at the Eloquent relationships. I followed the documentation and defined my one to many relationship as:
// in the test model
public function questions()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Question', 'test_name_id', 'test_id');
}
// in the question model
public function test()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Test', 'test_name_id', 'test_id');
}
Note that i have not followed the convention for naming the id's. So if I do this in the Tinker:
$test = App\Test::first();
$question = $test->questions;
It works fine. But if want the record any other than first like doing:
$test = App\Test::where(['test_id'=>'2'])->get();
$question = $test->questions;
It gives me this error:
PHP error: Trying to get property of non-object on line 1
Can any one please explain me what I am doing wrong here and how does this work properly?
Try ->first() instead of get(). get() returns array. Or use protected $primaryKey = 'test_id'; in test model and then ->find($id)
EDIT : I solved it. I'm leaving it here as a reference, I hope it helps someone in the future.
I'm trying to echo out a comment's owner like below, but it gives an error.
Trying to get property of non-object
$comments = ThingComment::where('thing_id', $id)>orderBy('comment_date', 'desc')->get();
blade template
#foreach($comments as $comment)
#foreach($comment->thingCommentOwner as $owner)
{{$owner->user_name}}
#endforeach
#endforeach
I have three models : User, Thing and ThingComment Thing probably isn't important, so I didn't include it.
My tables are : users and thing_comment
user_id and thing_id are foreign keys in the thing_comment table. I should be able to access the users table columns through the thing_comment table, that's what I'm trying to achieve here.
Models are below.
ThingComment.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class ThingComment extends Model {
protected $table = 'thing_comment';
protected $primaryKey = 'comment_id';
protected $fillable = ['comment', 'comment_date', 'upvotes', 'downvotes', 'user_id', 'thing_id', 'parent_comment_id'];
public function thingCommentOwner() {
return $this->belongsTo('\App\Models\User','user_id');
}
public function commentThing() {
return $this->belongsTo('\App\Models\Thing','thing_id');
}
}
They need to be used like below. thingCommentOwner allows us to JUMP to the users table, which is cool.
#foreach($comments as $comment)
{{$comment->comment}}
{{$comment->thingCommentOwner->name}}
{{$comment->thingCommentOwner->user_image}}
<p></p>
#endforeach
In my form's model, I have a custom validation function for a field defined in this way
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
return [
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
The error message doesn't appear under the field in the form view when I push the submit button, while other rules like the required email and password appear.
I'm working on the Signup native form, so to be sure that it is not a filed problem, I've set the rule
['username', 'checkDateFormat']
and removed all the other rules related to the username field, but the message doesn't appear either for it.
I've tried passing nothing as parameters to checkDateFormat, I've tried to explicitly pass the field's name to addError()
$this->addError('username', '....');
but nothing appears.
Which is the correct way to set a custom validation function?
Did you read documentation?
According to the above validation steps, an attribute will be
validated if and only if it is an active attribute declared in
scenarios() and is associated with one or multiple active rules
declared in rules().
So your code should looks like:
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
return [
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function scenarios()
{
$scenarios = [
'some_scenario' => ['birth_date'],
];
return array_merge(parent::scenarios(), $scenarios);
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
And in controller set scenario, example:
$signupForm = new SignupForm(['scenario' => 'some_scenario']);
Try forcing the validation on empty field
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'skipOnError' => false],
Also, make sure you don't assign id to your birth_date field in your view.
If you do have id for your birth_date, you need to specify the selectors
<?= $form->field($model, 'birth_date', ['selectors' => ['input' => '#myBirthDate']])->textInput(['id' => 'myBirthDate']) ?>
To make custom validations in yii 2 , you can write custom function in model and assign that function in rule.
for eg. I have to apply password criteria in password field then I will write like this in model.
public function rules()
{
return [
['new_password','passwordCriteria'],
];
}
public function passwordCriteria()
{
if(!empty($this->new_password)){
if(strlen($this->new_password)<8){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contains eight letters one digit and one character.');
}
else{
if(!preg_match('/[0-9]/',$this->new_password)){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contain one digit.');
}
if(!preg_match('/[a-zA-Z]/', $this->new_password)){
$this->addError('new_password','Password must contain one character.');
}
}
}
}
You need to trigger $model->validate() somewhere if you are extending from class Model.
I stumbled on this when using the CRUD generator. The generated actionCreate() function doesn't include a model validation call so custom validators never get called. Also, the _form doesn't include and error summary.
So add the error summary to the _form.
<?= $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
...and add the validation call - $model->validate() - to the controller action
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new YourModel();
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {...
Although it's an old post i thought I should answer.
You should create a Custom Validator Class and to create a validator that supports client-side validation, you should implement the yii\validators\Validator::clientValidateAttribute() method which returns a piece of JavaScript code that performs the validation on the client-side. Within the JavaScript code.
You may use the following predefined variables:
attribute: the name of the attribute being validated.
value: the value being validated.
messages: an array used to hold the validation error messages for
the attribute.
deferred: an array which deferred objects can be pushed into
(explained in the next subsection).
SO that means you can use messages array to push your messages to the client end on runtime within the javascript code block in this method.
I will create a class that includes dummy checks that could be replaced the way you want them to. and change the namespace according to your yii2 advanced or basic.
Custom Client-side Validator
namespace common\components;
use yii\validators\Validator;
class DateFormatValidator extends Validator{
public function init() {
parent::init ();
$this->message = 'You entered an invalid date format.';
}
public function validateAttribute( $model , $attribute ) {
if ( /*SOME CONDITION TO CHECK*/) {
$model->addError ( $attribute , $this->message );
}
}
public function clientValidateAttribute( $model , $attribute , $view ) {
$message = json_encode ( $this->message , JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE );
return <<<JS
if ($("#DATE-1").val()=="" || $("#DATE-2").val() =="") {
messages.push($message);
}
JS;
}
}
and then inside your model SigupForm add the rule
['birth_date', 'common\components\DateFormatValidator'],
Deferred Validation
You can even add ajax calls inside the clientValidateAttribute function and on the base of the result of that ajax call you can push message to the client end but you can use the deferred object provided by yii that is an array of Deferred objects and you push your calls inside that array or explicitly create the Deferred Object and call its resolve() method.
Default Yii's deferred Object
public function clientValidateAttribute($model, $attribute, $view)
{
return <<<JS
deferred.push($.get("/check", {value: value}).done(function(data) {
if ('' !== data) {
messages.push(data);
}
}));
JS;
}
More about Deferred Validation
You need to render the model from controller. Without initializing the model in view. And in the controller you need to call the validate function
Are you sure the first parameter of addError shouldn't be like this
$this->addError(**'attribute'**, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
I had common problem.
In your validation function:
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
$params doesn`t get any value at all. It actually always equals to Null. You have to check for your attribute value in function:
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
if($this->birth_date == False)
{
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
that`s how it worked for me.
If you don't use scenarios for your model, you must mark your atribute as 'safe':
['birth_date','safe'],
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat'],
And, on the other hand, you can use this for date validation:
['birth_date','safe'],
[['birth_date'],'date', 'format'=>'php:Y-m-d'],
You can change format as you want.
**We should set attributes to the function to work with input value **
public function rules()
{
return [
['social_id','passwordCriteria'],
];
}
public function passwordCriteria($attribute, $params)
{
if(!empty($this->$attribute)){
$input_value = $this->$attribute;
//all good
}else{
//Error empty value
$this->addError('social_id','Error - value is empty');
}
}
Are you by any chance using client side validation? If you do then you have to write a javascript function that would validate the input. You can see how they do it here:
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-input-validation.html#conditional-validation
Another solution would be to disable client validation, use ajax validation, that should bring back the error too.
Also make sure that you have not overwritten the template of the input, meaning make sure you still have the {error} in there if you did overwrite it.
Your syntax on rules should be something like this man,
[['birth_date'], 'checkDateFormat']
not this
['birth_date', 'checkDateFormat']
So in your case, it should look like below
...
class SignupForm extends Model
{
public function rules()
{
// Notice the different with your previous code here
return [
[['birth_date'], 'checkDateFormat'],
// other rules
];
}
public function checkDateFormat($attribute, $params)
{
// no real check at the moment to be sure that the error is triggered
$this->addError($attribute, Yii::t('user', 'You entered an invalid date format.'));
}
}
