Hi everybody,
I discover DataMapper today and I watched some screencast and read some examples on the datamapper website.
But, I don't understand the way it works between CI and datamapper, with a POO view.
I explain : in a basic POO way to code, in a class, you put the methods and the attributes of the class. For example, a user will have a name, a phone number and an address. You will have setter et getter and you will have method to update, create and delete a user and the datas of this user.
But, with DataMapper, in the model class of a user, there are not the attributes... The only place where I can see them is in the $validation variable. So, my conclusion is that when you create a user with "new" with a DataMapper model, the attributes are created as it is in the table with wich they are linked ?
I am really not sure I understand it the good way, and as you can see, I m not really familiar with it. Can anybody explain me ??
thanks !
