- What about administration? Why did you not auto-generate admin interfaces?
- Good question. This is meant to be the "model" part of the MVC infrastructure. We think there is a great deal of promise for a project to build the "controller" infrastructure that might be powered in a similar way.
- Why does create_ex return an array [$id, $stuff] (instead of an ID)?
-
create_ex returns an array because there is a chance it might create more than one entity in the database, and
the second argument is a structured representation for other entities that are created.
For example, I can call:
// create a product, but create a category in the process.
mg('products')->create_ex('name', 'widget a', 'category', array('name' => 'hardware tools'));
... which will create the category before the product is created.
