CommandLine

Zend Framework 1.8 Models and Mappers auto generate

Why using CommandLine ?

Every time that you will make a change on the database you don't need to change manually your model or your mapper just run the model generator. Instead, just run this script after you create your database or after any DB shema modification

What Files can you use or edit ?

If you need a model, buisnessObjet or an Entity just call it from models/Entity folder for example

new Application_Model_Entity_User();

and put your custom code inside it. Same thing for the mapper :

new Application_Model_Mapper_User();

DO NEVER CHANGE CODE ONLY INSIDE ENTITY OR MAPPER FOLDER!

Default methods:

By default you can call all your model getters and setters alreday auto generated. Like:

 $user = new Application_Model_Entity_User();
 $user->setId(1)
  ->setName('Amine')
  ->setLastName('Cherif')
  ->setEnglishLanguageLevel(0)
  ->setPoor(TRUE);

And the default Mapper like

$userMapper = new Application_Model_Mapper_User();
$userMapper->save($user);

Your mapper have by default those methods:

fetchAll() // Get an array of all buisness objects stored on the current table
populateForm($id) // Get the appropriated array to be populated by Zend_Form
find($id) // Similar to getElementById
delete($id) // If you guess what that method do, you are the next Steve Jobs ;)
save($buisnessObject) // so hard to explain :P

Installation
