README

A set of Gii tools for Field-Lingo (Yii2):

• Extended Model Generator — generates parent + child model classes wired to AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveRecord / AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveQuery.
• Add Language Generator — helps produce SQL-scripts to bulk-add language-suffixed fields (e.g. name_en, name_uk) across tables.

🔎 Overview

Field-Lingo stores localized columns directly in DB (e.g. title_en, title_uk, ...). These Gii tools help automate two repetitive tasks:

1. Generate models that extend AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveRecord and use AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveQuery.
2. Generate SQL-scripts to add a language (set of _xx fields) across many tables.

📦 Installation

Add as a development dependency:

composer require --dev alex-no/field-lingo-gii

Note: This package depends on alex-no/field-lingo. Ensure your project requires that package as well (composer will attempt to resolve it). Replace * with specific version constraints before tagging stable releases.

⚙️ Registering generators in Yii2 (example)

In your Yii2 config/web.php (or config/main.php) register generators for the Gii module:

'modules' => [
    'gii' => [
        'class' => \yii\gii\Module::class,
        'generators' => [
            'field-lingo-extended-model' => [
                'class' => \AlexNo\FieldLingoGii\ExtendedModel\ExtendedModelGenerator::class,
                'templates' => [
                    'extended' => '@vendor/alex-no/field-lingo-gii/src/ExtendedModel/templates/extended',
                ],
                'baseClassOptions' => [
                    'yii\db\ActiveRecord',
                    'AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveRecord',
                ],
                'queryBaseClassOptions' => [
                    'yii\db\ActiveQuery',
                    'AlexNo\FieldLingo\Adapters\Yii2\LingoActiveQuery',
                ],
            ],
            'field-lingo-add-language' => [
                'class' => \AlexNo\FieldLingoGii\AddLanguageColumn\AddLanguageColumnGenerator::class,
                'templates' => [
                    'default' => '@vendor/alex-no/field-lingo-gii/src/AddLanguageColumn/templates/default/',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

After registering with Gii, two new generators will appear:

• FieldLingo Extended Model
• FieldLingo Add Language

✨ Extended Model Generator — what it does

• Generates models/base/YourModel.php — main (regenerated) logic;
• Generates models/YourModel.php — empty child class for custom logic;
• Optionally generates models/YourModelQuery.php (using LingoActiveQuery when chosen).

✨ Add Language Generator — what it does

• Accepts a language code (e.g., es) and a list of tables/fields;
• Generates SQL with addColumn for each field and table.
