Hello,
I'm currently converting my project to Phalcon PHP. In my old project I did a if to check if the conetnt I'm pulling from a API exist in a database, if it didn't I would add it to the DB and display the fresh content I just got from the API.
How could I do something similar to this with Phalcon?
See this for working with models https://docs.phalcon.io/es/latest/reference/models.html
// (..) => Inside put the binding params.
$apiContent = ApiContent::findFirst(..);
// If it is false, there isn't such record in the table. Then we prepare it to insert in the DB.
if (!$apiContent)
{
$apiContent = new ApiContent();
// Here do SETs.
if ($apiContent->create()) // or '$apiContent->save()'.
{
// Set $apiContent to what do you want to display. This can be setting the var in the view, for example.
}
else
{
// Throw an exception, show a message error, etc.
}
}
