Actually, Model Behaviors already exist in 1.2 and are largely
functional. Documentation on how to use them will be forthcoming, but
for the time being, here's a little rundown. Let's say you have a
behavior called List. you would create a class ListBehavior that
extends ModelBehavior, and store it in app/models/behaviors. You would
then include it in your model as follows:
class Post extends Model {
var $actsAs = array("List");
}
And there you are. For a list of callbacks that you can specify in
your behavior, refer to the base class, which is in
cake/libs/model/behavior.php. I can't remember if all of them are
implemented or not, but you can at least get your feet wet.
Also, any methods defined in ListBehavior will be available as native
methods in Post. For example, if you define a method called
ListBehavior::moveFirst( ), it would be accessible as
$this->Post->moveFirst( );
There are also facilities for mapping regular expressions to behavior
methods, allow you to setup things like Model's magic findBy<FieldName>
in your own classes.
