Jet\DataModel_Definition_Model

The base abstract class that represents the definitions of an entity (This is a de facto translation of the definitional attributes into a usable form)..

From this abstract class it inherits Jet\DataModel_Definition_Model_Main, Jet\DataModel_Definition_Model_Related (also abstract), Jet\DataModel_Definition_Model_Related_1to1 and Jet\DataModel_Definition_Model_Related_1toN.

Overview of methods

Method Meaning of
public __construct(
string $data_model_class_name=''
)		 The only parameter $data_model_class_name is the name of the class to which the definition belongs.

It is possible to create a generic instance of the definition without binding to a specific class. Therefore, the parameter is optional.
public init(
) : void		 Initializes the definition bound to a specific class.
public initRelations(
) : void		 Initializes internal and external relations.
public getClassName(
) : string		 Returns the name of the class to which the definition belongs.
public getModelName(
) : string		 Returns the name of the model - entity.
public getDatabaseTableName(
) : string		 Returns the name of the database table.
public setDatabaseTableName(
string $database_table_name
) : void		 Sets the name of the database table.
public getIDController(
) : DataModel_IDController		 Based on the definition, it creates and sets an instance of controller ID.
public getIDControllerClassName(
) : string		 Returns the controller ID class name of.
public getIDControllerOptions(
) : array		 Returns the parameters and settings of the controller ID.
public getProperties(
) : DataModel_Definition_Property[]		 Returns the definitions of the entity properties.
public getIdProperties(
) : DataModel_Definition_Property[]		 Returns the definitions of those entity properties that are defined as identifying.
public hasProperty(
string $property_name
) : bool		 Verifies whether the entity has the given property.
public getProperty(
string $property_name
) : DataModel_Definition_Property		 Returns the definition of a specific property.
public getAllRelatedPropertyDefinitions(
) : DataModel_Definition_Property_DataModel[]		 Returns the definitions of all properties that bind subentities from all levels (including the definitions of subentity properties to all levels).
public addKey(
string $name,
string $type,
array $key_properties
) : void		 Add composite key to the definition.
public getKeys(
) : DataModel_Definition_Key[]		 Returns key definitions.
public getRelation(
string $related_model_name
) : DataModel_Definition_Relation		 Returns the relation definition of the entity against the entity whose name is specified by the $related_model_name parameter.
public getRelations(
