Re: CakePHP 2.x Moving Find into Model

Got it - thanks. So you're really just setting up the paginate variable in the model rather than the controller then calling it from the controller to set up pagination before doing a paginate find?

Not sure if this is any help. But I hate all the $params in the controller especially if you have to do it on the fly so I set all the params in the model like such: (Just swap out 'model' for your own )

Model:

public function _Pagination($limit = 15){

                               

                                $params = array(

                                                'conditions' => array(

                                                                                'fields' => array(

                                                                                                'Model.id',

                                                                                                'Model.featured',

                                                                                                'Model.title',

                                                                                                'Model.description),

                                                                                'limit' => $limit,

                                                                                'order' => array(

                                                                                                'Model.created DESC'),

                                                                                'contain' => array(

                                                                                                'State' => array(

                                                                                'fields' => array(

                                                                                                'State.abrev')),

                                                                'Country' => array(

                                                                                'fields' => array(

                                                                                                'Country.name',

                                                                                                'Country.iso')));

                               

                                return $params;

                }

 

Controller:

$this->paginate = $this->Model->_Pagination ($anything you want to pass $limit, $conditions…….);

And just pop it into the find into the $params like

 

$this->paginate = $this->Model->_Pagination($limit = 10); or anything you might want to edit on the fly.

 

Swap out all the vars you want and make it work for you.

Then do standard:

 

$this->set('whatever', $this->paginate('Model'));

 

All it is basically is the same as you normally would do in the controller but rather than having all that crap I find it easier to say paginateThis(), pagginateThat() rather than all that in the controller and just pull the params from the model.

Have you got an example of that?

Apply the array to the $paginate class var, not the method. Basically, you can declare the $paginate array as a class var, then add to or override any part of it from within an action.

I'm trying to achieve the fat model/skinny controller mantra in CakePHP 2.7. In that scenario, the model should control the data, and that means moving the finds out of the controllers and into the models. However, at least with the view and admin_view actions, one needs the data paginated.

The problem starts there. It's easy enough to do a $this->find('all') in the model to get the data, along with any conditions, contains, etc. However that produces an array. Paginator->paginate(), as far as I can tell won't work in the model; it's a component that only works in a controller. Yet, if I take the array produced in the model into the controller and try to pass it on toPaginator->paginate(), it fails because paginate won't accept an array.

In terms of trying to achieve the fat model/skinny controller goal, what am I missing here. How can I achieve a paginated result while still having the model (properly) do the work of managing and finding the data?
