Entities

Entities are defined in configuration under the ['sion_model']['entities'] key. You define a mapping of the entity field names to database column names, tell the ORM what the table is called and how these entities are integrated into the router tree.

Getting started

How to implement a Book database:

1. Extend the SionTable class, and create a ServiceFactory to build it.

2. Define your entity configuration in the module.config.php referencing the example file sionmodel.global.php.dist and properties from SionModel\Entity\Entity.

3. Implement the processBookRow function and register the row processor function in the config.

4. Create a BookForm extending the SionForm class.

5. Extend the SionController class

Data problem management

With data problem management you create two classes to detect problems with a certain entity type. The user can choose to ignore a particular error. A pre-made GUI is included which shows all the collected problems.

Steps to use:

1. Define 1 or more problems under the ['sion_model']['problem_specifications'] config key in module.config.php:```

   'sion_model' => [ 'problem_providers' => [ 'Project\Model\ProjectTable', ], 'problem_specifications' => [ 'person-no-email' => [ 'entity' => 'person', 'defaultSeverity' => EntityProblem::SEVERITY_ERROR, 'text' => 'No email associated with person', ], ], ],

2. Implement the ProblemProviderInterface in the Project\Model\ProjectTable class.
