Basicly what I want to do is run afterUpdate function of the model without fetching the data in controller, because I don't need it there. $myModel = MyModel::findFirst("id='$paramID'"); // This runs SELECT. Can I get model without this SELECT? $myModel->afterUpdate();
Is it possible to use findFirst and not fetch any data? Just get the model?
You can do this:
$obj = new \Models\Services();
$obj->afterUpdate();But this way you do not have any current record associated with it. With findFirst in afterUpdate you can say $this->propertyName.
If your afterUpdate is not associated with any db record i would just move it to custom function, like doSomething() and call it.
I just realized it doesn't double query the data. It was my mistake. My afterUpdate uses MyModel data. I just thought it is being fetched twice from database, but it happens only once!
Mark your last answer as correct to solve the thread and help others :)
