DataMapper ORM v1.8.2

[quote author="WanWizard" date="1339073681"]Datamapper does:

Code:

static $CI = NULL;

// get the CI instance
is_null($CI) and $CI =& get_instance();

if( ! isset($CI->form_validation))
{
$CI->load->library('form_validation');
$this->lang->load('form_validation');
}
$this->form_validation =& $CI->form_validation;

Which is how you would do it in any library you would create. No rocket science. Do you also autoload the Datamapper library? Which version of CI? Which version of DM? Bootstrap properly installed?

Are you using some form of HMVC, which could interfere with CI's architecture of having a single instance?[/quote]

Thanks , as u said it is not a rocket science, I completely forgot that. Sorry for the dummy question. I am using DM 1.8.2, CI 2.1.0 Bootstrap is fine and yes I autoload datamapper


P.S. WanWizard I would like to have your opinion on using annotations in models, when defining class properties:

Code:

/**
* @Id
* @Column(type="integer", nullable=false)
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;

/**
* @Column(type="string", length=32, unique=true, nullable=false)
*/
protected $username;

/**
* @Column(type="string", length=64, nullable=false)
*/
protected $password;

/**
* @Column(type="integer", nullable=false)
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Groups")
* @JoinColumn(name="user_group", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $user_group;

I know datamapper is not using the annotations, but would it be nice to have them as the project might grow in future and in that way you can keep track on all class properties in use. What is your view on this ?
