Help on entities

AHHH see thats the thing! I too have a lot of columns in my table and the way you wrote it just handles one column at a time, but I need a foreach loop or something to trim all the stuff I throw at it with a $product->fill($_POST)
or will
public function setName(string $name) { $this->name = trim($name) }
take care of everything, with the $this->name being dynamic? like

Will this function work with fill? Or does it only work like this:
$product->name($name)?
$product->anotherfield($filed1);
$product->andAnotherField($field2);
$product->iHave_Like_40_Columns_In_MyTable_This_Will_BeHuge($and_This_Is_Only_field3);

para usar você pode usar assim:

PHP Code:

$product->setName($name);
$product->setValue($value); 


OR

PHP Code:

$product->name = $name
$product->value = $value 


it will work the same because CodeIgniter's Entity class uses the magic methods of php __set() and __get(), whenever any value is assigned to some object property the function __set() is called and whenever any property is read the function __get() is called. If you don't want to create a get and set method for each property you can modify or override the __set() function and put some logic in it that clears your strings.

like this:

PHP Code:

public function __set(string $key, $value = null)
    {
        $key = $this->mapProperty($key);

        // Check if the field should be mutated into a date
        if (in_array($key, $this->dates))
        {
            $value = $this->mutateDate($value);
        }

        $isNullable = false;
        $castTo     = false;

        if (array_key_exists($key, $this->casts))
        {
            $isNullable = strpos($this->casts[$key], '?') === 0;
            $castTo     = $isNullable ? substr($this->casts[$key], 1) : $this->casts[$key];
        }

        if (! $isNullable || ! is_null($value))
        {
            // Array casting requires that we serialize the value
            // when setting it so that it can easily be stored
            // back to the database.
            if ($castTo === 'array')
            {
                $value = serialize($value);
            }

            // JSON casting requires that we JSONize the value
            // when setting it so that it can easily be stored
            // back to the database.
            if (($castTo === 'json' || $castTo === 'json-array') && function_exists('json_encode'))
            {
                $value = json_encode($value);

                if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE)
                {
                    throw CastException::forInvalidJsonFormatException(json_last_error());
                }
            }
        }

        // if a set* method exists for this key,
        // use that method to insert this value.
        // *) should be outside $isNullable check - SO maybe wants to do sth with null value automatically
        $method = 'set' . str_replace(' ', '', ucwords(str_replace(['-', '_'], ' ', $key)));
        if (method_exists($this, $method))
        {
            $this->$method($value);

            return $this;
        }

        // Otherwise, just the value.
        // This allows for creation of new class
        // properties that are undefined, though
        // they cannot be saved. Useful for
        // grabbing values through joins,
        // assigning relationships, etc.
                if (gettype($value) === 'string') {
                   $this->attributes[$key] = trim($value);
                } else {
                   $this->attributes[$key] = $value;
                }

        return $this;
    } 


this is default __set() method of Entity class of CodeIgniter with a small modification to string values use the trim() function **edit that way you don't need to create set methods for each attribute, just defining logics for a group of attributes

i love cli
