You can move column type definition to external class, or even combine it with accessor RecordAccessorInterface. In order to do that, implement ColumnInterface and write column type definition method.
interface ColumnInterface
{
/**
* Configure column.
*
* @param AbstractColumn $column
*/
public static function describeColumn(AbstractColumn $column);
}
ORM include base type for enum columns with associated accessor - EnumColumn. Let's create column definition:
class UserStatus extends EnumColumn
{
const VALUES = ['active', 'blocked'];
const DEFAULT = 'active';
}
Use this column type in your model schema as normal type:
class User extends RecordEntity
{
const SCHEMA = [
'id' => 'primary',
'name' => 'string',
'status' => UserStatus::class
];
}
You can define your own method in such columns to be used as accessors later:
class UserStatus extends EnumColumn
{
const VALUES = ['active', 'blocked'];
const DEFAULT = 'active';
public function isBlocked(): bool
{
return $this->packValue() == 'blocked';
}
//...
}
if($user->status->isBlocked()) {
$user->status->setActive();
}
