Adding Entries to DB

Introduction
Let's check how we can add data into the newly created table
Add a Model Class
In order to communicate with the database you need a model. IceHrm uses AdoDB as the ORM. But it provides an abstraction layer on top of AdoDB.

Update Extension Include File
tasks.php

<?php

require_once __DIR__.'/src/Tasks/Extension.php';

require_once __DIR__.'/src/Tasks/Migration.php';

require_once __DIR__.'/src/Tasks/Model/Task.php';

Create a Random Task
Just for testing we will create a new task on the view file itself, and print it on screen.
web/index.php
1
<?php
2
$user = \Classes\BaseService::getInstance()->getCurrentUser();
3
echo "Welcome ".$user->username."<br/>";
4
​
5
echo "Creating a task <br/>";
6
​
7
$task = new \Tasks\Model\Task();
8
$taskName = 'Task-'.rand(rand(0, 100), 50000);
9
​
10
$task->name = $taskName;
11
$task->employee = $user->employee;
12
$task->description = $taskName.' description';
13
$task->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
14
$task->updated = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
15
​
16
/**
17
 * Saving the task, $ok will be false if there were any error during the creation
18
 */
19
$ok = $task->Save();
20
​
21
if (!$ok) {
22
    echo "Error: ".$task->ErrorMsg()." <br/>";    
23
}
24
​
25
echo "Find last task <br/>";
26
​
27
$taskFromDB = new \Tasks\Model\Task();
28
/**
29
 * You can use load method to load the first matching task into an empty model
30
 */
31
$taskFromDB->Load('name = ?', [$taskName]);
32
​
33
var_dump($taskFromDB);
