I belive i´m sure I read a discussion here from someone to ask for an afterFetch event on ORM to decode their json-encoded rows, it sounds great, and i remember Phalcon Team did already the implementation... So, guys i am not beeing able to find the discussion here, im starting to doubt it was real... please do you tell me it is implemented or how can I use it.
Oh! its a method !
if (phalcon_method_exists_ex(object, SS("afterfetch") TSRMLS_CC) == SUCCESS) {
phalcon_call_method_noret(object, "afterfetch");
}But what if we make it an Event... now we can make a behavior wich listens the afterFetch (to decode) and beforeSave (to Encode) and make a behavior:
$this->addBehavior( new JSONCodec(array(
'field' => 'config_json',
'property' => 'config' ,
'assoc' => TRUE
)
));
You can do that already with afterFetch() and beforeSave() in your models:
From the docs:
<?php
class Robots extends Phalcon\Mvc\Model
{
public $id;
public $name;
public $status;
public function beforeSave()
{
//Convert the array into a string
$this->status = join(',', $this->status);
}
public function afterFetch()
{
//Convert the string to an array
$this->status = explode(',', $this->status);
}
}Instead of "explode" and "join" you can use "json_encode" and "json_decode" as you wish.
Yeah actually do this way but i suggest the behavior methos cause yo need less code ( and better ) to do that
