Adding Entries to DB

Manipulating the database
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.

    |--extnsions
          |--tasks
               |--src
                  |--Tasks
                       |--Model
                            |--Task.php
                       |--Extension.php
                       |--Migration.php
               |--meta.json
 Task.php 
<?php
​
namespace Tasks\Model;
​
use Classes\ModuleAccess;
use Model\BaseModel;
​
class Task extends BaseModel
{
    public $table = 'Tasks';
}
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
<?php
$user = \Classes\BaseService::getInstance()->getCurrentUser();
echo "Welcome ".$user->username."<br/>";
​
echo "Creating a task <br/>";
​
$task = new \Tasks\Model\Task();
$taskName = 'Task-'.rand(rand(0, 100), 50000);
​
$task->name = $taskName;
$task->employee = $user->employee;
$task->description = $taskName.' description';
$task->created = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$task->updated = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
​
/**
 * Saving the task, $ok will be false if there were any error during the creation
 */
$ok = $task->Save();
​
if (!$ok) {
    echo "Error: ".$task->ErrorMsg()." <br/>";    
}
​
echo "Find last task <br/>";
​
$taskFromDB = new \Tasks\Model\Task();
/**
 * You can use load method to load the first matching task into an empty model
 */
$taskFromDB->Load('name = ?', [$taskName]);
​
var_dump($taskFromDB);
