JsonData behavior for Yii2 ActiveRecords

Enables you to easily encode and decode json in your activerecords. It automatically encodes before validating and saving to database and decodes after.

Installation

The preferred way to install the library is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist locustv2/yii2-json-data-behavior

or add

{
    "require": {
        "locustv2/yii2-json-data-behavior": "~1.0.0"
    }
}

to your composer.json file.

Usage

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'class' => \locustv2\behaviors\JsonDataBehavior::className(),
        'dataAttribute' => 'hotel_data',
    ];
}

After configuring your activerecord as above, you can use as follows:

$model = Hotel::find()->one();

var_dump($model->getData('rooms')); // assume it returns a list of rooms
var_dump($model->getData('rooms.0.price')); // to get rooms data

$model->setData('ratings', [
    '5star' => ['count' => 100],
    '4star' => ['count' => 200],
    '3star' => ['count' => 20],
    '2star' => ['count' => 75],
    '1star' => ['count' => 50],
]);

var_dump($model->getData('ratings.3star.count')); // returns 20
