7. Gii Support

Author	Dariusz Górecki

Model generation

Since version 1.3.4 you can generate mongo document models based on existing SQL tables, just enable gii generators provided within package (see below) and use MongoModel generator.

CRUD Generation

Now you can generate CRUD for yours MongoDB Documents! just you have to add generator path to yours Gii config

By default generated models will use mongo _id field as a primary key (using MongoId class) this generator will use different field as a primary key, if you will override primaryKey() method to return something different than '_id'. Note that generator cannot handle with multifield primary key,

// in yours main.php config file:
'modules'=>array(
    // ...
 
    'gii'=>array(
        'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
        'password'=>'yours_password_to_gii',
        // add additional generator path
        'generatorPaths'=>array(
            'ext.YiiMongoDbSuite.gii'
        ),
    ),
 
    // ...
),
// Now login to Gii and start using Mongocrud generator !

Forms generation

This is a good news, Gii can generate the worst part of developer job, forms for mongo records ;]
When generating a form from mongo record, comment out embedded docs array, or you'll see error about array/object creation
For embedded docs just generate forms in separed way for each one
