Separation of Business logic Object from Model
#1

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi,

I am trying to work by UML Class diagram, so I whanted to have separatly the classes that
are related to business logic from model. So bear with me.


the business class:
Code:
class Category{
    public $id;
    public $description;
    
    public function __edit(){
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        $sql = "UPDATE category SET description = '".$this->description."' WHERE id = ".$this->id;
        $this->CI->db->query($sql);
    }
    public function __add(){
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        $sql = "INSERT category SET description = '".$this->description."'";
        $this->CI->db->query($sql);
    }
    public function __delete(){
        $this->CI =& get_instance();
        $sql = "DELETE FROM category WHERE id = ".$this->id;
        $this->CI->db->query($sql);
    }
}

now i have a class that fills the business object with data from models::method/s:

Code:
class Bop{ //business object proccessor :|
    
    private $record;  // <-- $row type array
    private $obj;     // business object
    
    public function __init($record, &$object){
        $this->obj =& $object;
        $this->record = $record;
        if(!is_object($this->obj)){
            throw new Exception('Not an object');
        }
        if(!is_array($this->record)){
            throw new Exception('Not an array');
        }
        return $this->fill();
    }
    
    private function fill(){
        foreach($this->record as $attribute=>$value){
            if($this->obj_has_atribute($attribute)){
                $this->object->$attribute = $value;
            }
        }
        return $this->object;
        
    }
    private function obj_has_atribute($attribute){
        $object_vars = get_object_vars($this->obj);
        return array_key_exists($attribute, $object_vars);
    }
}


model:
Code:
class M_Categories extends Model {
    
    /**
     * @var object
     */
    private $category;
    
    public function __construct(){
        parent::Model();
        $this->load->library('bop');
    }

    public function __init(&$category){
        $this->category =& $category;
    }
    
    public function __get_all($offset, $rows_per_page){
        $row = array();
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM category WHERE 1 ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT ".$offset.",".$rows_per_page;
        $Q = $this->db->query($sql);
        if($Q->num_rows() > 0){
            foreach ($Q->result_array() as $row){
                $category_copy = clone $this->category;
                $categoryes_array[] = $this->bop->__init($row, $category_copy);
            }
        }
        
        return $categoryes_array; // array of objects
    }
    public function __get($id){
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM category WHERE id = ".$id;
        $Q = $this->db->query($sql);
        $row = $Q->row_array();
        return $this->bop->__init($row, $this->category);
    }
}

and finaly the controller:
Code:
class Categories extends Controller{

        public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('m_categories');
    }
    public function index(){
    
    
        $category = new Category();
        $this->m_categories->__init($category);
        $pg_data['container'] = $this->m_categories->__get_all($start,$rp);
        $this->load->view('admin_view',$pg_data);
    
    }
    public function view(){
        
        $category = new Category();
        $this->m_categories->__init($category);
        $pg_data['container'] = $this->m_categories->__get($this->uri->segment(3));
        $this->load->view('admin_view',$pg_data);
    
    }
    public function edit(){
        
        $category = new Category();
        $category->id = $_POST['id'];
        $category->description = $_POST['category'];
        $category->__edit();
        
        redirect('categories/index/');
    }
    
    public function addnew(){
        if(strlen($_POST['category']) > 2 ){
            $category = new Category;
            $category->description = $_POST['category'];
            $category->__add();
            
            redirect('categories/index/');
        }
        redirect('categories/add/');    
    }
}

OK, does this make any sense, doing it like this?

Thanx

ALL of your database stuff should be in models, so you ought to either move the functions you have in Category into M_Categories (and dispose of Category) or change the category functions to invoke functions in the model that perform the db manipulation.
