behaviors()

Since

3.4.0

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from \craft\records\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

View source

Returns

array – The behavior configurations.

find()

Creates an yii\db\ActiveQueryInterface instance for query purpose.

The returned yii\db\ActiveQueryInterface instance can be further customized by calling methods defined in yii\db\ActiveQueryInterface before one() or all() is called to return populated ActiveRecord instances. For example,

// find the customer whose ID is 1
$customer = Customer::find()->where(['id' => 1])->one();

// find all active customers and order them by their age:
$customers = Customer::find()
    ->where(['status' => 1])
    ->orderBy('age')
    ->all();

This method is also called by yii\db\BaseActiveRecord::hasOne() and yii\db\BaseActiveRecord::hasMany() to create a relational query.

You may override this method to return a customized query. For example,

class Customer extends ActiveRecord
{
    public static function find()
    {
        // use CustomerQuery instead of the default ActiveQuery
        return new CustomerQuery(get_called_class());
    }
}

The following code shows how to apply a default condition for all queries:

class Customer extends ActiveRecord
{
    public static function find()
    {
        return parent::find()->where(['deleted' => false]);
    }
}

// Use andWhere()/orWhere() to apply the default condition
// SELECT FROM customer WHERE `deleted`=:deleted AND age>30
$customers = Customer::find()->andWhere('age>30')->all();

// Use where() to ignore the default condition
// SELECT FROM customer WHERE age>30
$customers = Customer::find()->where('age>30')->all();

#### Returns

[craft\db\StructuredElementQuery](craft-db-structuredelementquery.md) – The newly created `\craft\records\ActiveQuery` instance.



### `getElement()` {#method-getelement}





Returns the structure element’s element.




[View source](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/3.9.13/src/records/StructureElement.php#L80-L83)



#### Returns

[yii\db\ActiveQueryInterface](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-db-activequeryinterface) – The relational query object.



### `getStructure()` {#method-getstructure}





Returns the structure element’s structure.




[View source](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/3.9.13/src/records/StructureElement.php#L70-L73)



#### Returns

[yii\db\ActiveQueryInterface](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-db-activequeryinterface) – The relational query object.



### `rules()` {#method-rules}





Returns the validation rules for attributes.



Validation rules are used by [validate()](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-base-model#validate()-detail) to check if attribute values are valid.
Child classes may override this method to declare different validation rules.

Each rule is an array with the following structure:

```php
[
    ['attribute1', 'attribute2'],
    'validator type',
    'on' => ['scenario1', 'scenario2'],
    //...other parameters...
]

where

• attribute list: required, specifies the attributes array to be validated, for single attribute you can pass a string;
• validator type: required, specifies the validator to be used. It can be a built-in validator name, a method name of the model class, an anonymous function, or a validator class name.
• on: optional, specifies the scenarios array in which the validation rule can be applied. If this option is not set, the rule will apply to all scenarios.
• additional name-value pairs can be specified to initialize the corresponding validator properties. Please refer to individual validator class API for possible properties.

A validator can be either an object of a class extending \craft\records\Validator, or a model class method (called inline validator) that has the following signature:

// $params refers to validation parameters given in the rule
function validatorName($attribute, $params)

In the above $attribute refers to the attribute currently being validated while $params contains an array of validator configuration options such as max in case of string validator. The value of the attribute currently being validated can be accessed as $this->$attribute. Note the $ before attribute; this is taking the value of the variable $attribute and using it as the name of the property to access.

Yii also provides a set of built-in validators. Each one has an alias name which can be used when specifying a validation rule.

Below are some examples:

[
    // built-in "required" validator
    [['username', 'password'], 'required'],
    // built-in "string" validator customized with "min" and "max" properties
    ['username', 'string', 'min' => 3, 'max' => 12],
    // built-in "compare" validator that is used in "register" scenario only
    ['password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'password2', 'on' => 'register'],
    // an inline validator defined via the "authenticate()" method in the model class
    ['password', 'authenticate', 'on' => 'login'],
    // a validator of class "DateRangeValidator"
    ['dateRange', 'DateRangeValidator'],
];

Note, in order to inherit rules defined in the parent class, a child class needs to merge the parent rules with child rules using functions such as array_merge().

View source

Returns

array – Validation rules

tableName()

Declares the name of the database table associated with this AR class.

By default this method returns the class name as the table name by calling yii\helpers\Inflector::camel2id() with prefix yii\db\Connection::$tablePrefix. For example if yii\db\Connection::$tablePrefix is tbl_, Customer becomes tbl_customer, and OrderItem becomes tbl_order_item. You may override this method if the table is not named after this convention.

View source

Returns

string – The table name

transactions()

Declares which DB operations should be performed within a transaction in different scenarios.

The supported DB operations are: OP_INSERT, OP_UPDATE and OP_DELETE, which correspond to the insert(), update() and delete() methods, respectively. By default, these methods are NOT enclosed in a DB transaction.

In some scenarios, to ensure data consistency, you may want to enclose some or all of them in transactions. You can do so by overriding this method and returning the operations that need to be transactional. For example,

return [
    'admin' => self::OP_INSERT,
    'api' => self::OP_INSERT | self::OP_UPDATE | self::OP_DELETE,
    // the above is equivalent to the following:
    // 'api' => self::OP_ALL,

];

The above declaration specifies that in the "admin" scenario, the insert operation (insert()) should be done in a transaction; and in the "api" scenario, all the operations should be done in a transaction.

View source

Returns

array – The declarations of transactional operations. The array keys are scenarios names, and the array values are the corresponding transaction operations.
