Functionality

Propel Behavior to customize generated Parent Base classes

The normal propel inheritance with generated base classes follow this schema :

With CustomBaseBehavior you can change the parent classes of the base generated classes and share common methods between model objects

Requirements

This behavior requires Propel >=1.6.0

Installation

You can use composer and packagist.org package csanquer/custom-base-behavior

Or just download and copy the behavior to a specific path.

Then register the behavior class by adding the following to the bottom of the build.properties file in you project folder:

# check that you have behaviors enabled
propel.builder.addBehaviors = true

# and add the custom behavior
propel.behavior.custom_base.class = path.to.CustomBehavior

Enable the behavior in your schema.xml:

<table name="book">
  <column name="id" required="true" primaryKey="true" autoIncrement="true" type="INTEGER" />
  <column name="title" type="VARCHAR" required="true" />

  <behavior name="custom_base">
    <parameter name="base_object" value="MyCustomBaseObject" /> <!-- default = "BaseObject" -->
    <parameter name="base_peer" value="MyCustomBasePeer" />     <!-- default = "" -->
    <parameter name="base_query" value="MyCustomBaseQuery" />   <!-- default = "ModelCriteria" -->
  </behavior>
</table>

Base classes can use namespaces ( with , / or dot character).

Your custom Base Object class should extend Propel BaseObject and your custom Base Query class should extend Propel ModelCriteria.
