Where does the getRecent() method originate from? - sammyskills - 08-06-2023
From the docs,
PHP Code:
<?php
// app/Cells/RecentPostsCell.php
namespace App\Cells;
use CodeIgniter\View\Cells\Cell;
class RecentPostsCell extends Cell
{
protected $posts;
public function mount(?int $categoryId)
{
$this->posts = model('PostModel')
->when(
$categoryId,
static fn ($query, $categoryId) => $query->where('category_id', $categoryId)
)
->getRecent();
}
}
Where does the getRecent() method come from?
RE: Where does the getRecent() method originate from? - ozornick - 08-06-2023
It looks like a bug. Models don't have when(), getRecent() methods
RE: Where does the getRecent() method originate from? - kenjis - 08-06-2023
Query Builder has when().
See https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/database/query_builder.html#builder-when
The getRecent() seems to be a custom method in PostModel.

Quote:The getRecent() seems to be a custom method in PostModel.
Since it wasn't stated clearly that it is a custom method, one will begin to wonder (just like me) where the method comes from.
I suggest that the docs should stick with non-custom methods/functions. WDYT?

Indeed, it is preferable to have the code work as it is as much as possible.

Does the model return Query Builder directly? VS Code does not have type hints

You will have to append the builder method to the model like so:
PHP Code:
$model = model(YourModel::class);
$model->builder()->when();
With that, it will be type-hinted by VS Code.

Yes, i known. We are talking about an example in documentation.
$this->post = model('PostModel')->when() there is no autocomplete because it is not a builder
RE: Where does the getRecent() method originate from? - sammyskills - 08-09-2023
Oh, I get you. For that to work, the method will need to be added to the system/Model's class phpdoc @method keyword.
WDYT @kenjis ?
Meanwhile, I submitted a PR for the view cell docs: https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/pull/7805

Yes, if a Query Builder method returns $this and the method can be used in Models without problems,
we can add to the system/Model's class phpdoc @method keyword.
Adding it is fine by me.
