Retrieving the +related record using lazy loading (that is, only when those related objects are accessed) can be +achieved by using a feature of the <tt>TComponent</tt> that provides accessor methods. In particular, +we define a pair of getter and setter methods where the getter method will retrieve the relationship +conditionally. The following example illustrates that the <tt>PlayerRecord</tt> can retrieve its +<tt>$skills</tt> foreign objects conditionally. +</p> +<com:TTextHighlighter Language="php" CssClass="source block-content"> +class PlayerRecord extends BaseFkRecord +{ + //... other properties and methods as before + + private $_skills; //change to private and default as null + + public function getSkills() + { + if($this->_skills===null && $this->player_id !==null) + { + //lazy load the skill records + $this->setSkills($this->withSkills()->findByPk($this->player_id)->skills); + } + else if($this->_skills===null) + { + //create new TList; + $this->setSkills(new TList()); + } + + return $this->_skills; + } + + public function setSkills($value) + { + $this->_skills = $value instanceof TList ? $value : new TList($value); + } +} +</com:TTextHighlighter> +<p id="710046" class="block-content">We first need to change the <tt>$skills=array()</tt> declaration to a private property +<tt>$_skills</tt> (notice the underscore) and set it to null instead.

The <tt>getSkills()</tt> +getter method for the <tt>skills</tt> property will lazy load the corresponding skills foreign record +when it is used as follows.

If <tt>array</tt> was used, a PHP error +will be thrown. +</p> + +<h2>Column Mapping</h2> +<p> +Since v3.1.1, Active Record starts to support column mapping. Column mapping allows developers +to address columns in Active Record using a more consistent naming convention. In particular, +using column mapping, one can access a column using whatever name he likes, rather than limited by +the name defined in the database schema. +</p> +<p> +To use column mapping, declare a static array named <tt>COLUMN_MAPPING</tt> in the Active Record class. +The keys of the array are column names (called <i>physical column names</i>) as defined in the database +schema, while the values are corresponding property names (called <i>logical column names</i>) defined +in the Active Record class. The property names can be either public class member variable names or +component property names defined via getters/setters. If a physical column name happens to be the same +as the logical column name, they do not need to be listed in <tt>COLUMN_MAPPING</tt>. +</p> +<com:TTextHighlighter Language="php" CssClass="source block-content"> +class UserRecord extends TActiveRecord +{ + const TABLE='users'; + public static $COLUMN_MAPPING=array + ( + 'user_id'=>'id', + 'email_address'=>'email', + 'first_name'=>'firstName', + 'last_name'=>'lastName', + ); + public $id; + public $username; // the physical and logical column names are the same + public $email; + public $firstName; + public $lastName; + //.... +} +</com:TTextHighlighter> +<p> +With the above column mapping, we can address <tt>first_name</tt> using <tt>$userRecord->firstName</tt> +instead of <tt>$userRecord->first_name</tt>.
