i'd like to use the database type of an Entity's field as a HTML class to
provide CSS formatting for the cell.
i know i can do this in the Controller via
*$this->SomeTable->schema()->columnType('some_column');*
which leads to
*foreach ($this->SomeTable->schema()->columns() as $column) {
$columnTypeMap[$column] =
$this->SomeTable->schema()->columnType($column);}// etc.*
i can then use this mapping to set the cell class with the value (see first
4 cells in screenshot).
i'd also like to do this for some mutators & virtual properties. However,
since the mutators aren't columns directly from a table, there appears to
be no way to do it for them. For instance:
<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sh-MN75GNaY/VTyDk872bgI/AAAAAAAA4oo/RbvgsQGRYv0/s1600/2015-04-26_0201.png>
The last 3 columns above don't provide database types.
Is there any clean/clever/elegant way to do this? i realize some virtuals
probably can't realistically do this (such as concatenating several fields
together), but two of those are "date-ish", and based on actual DATE-type
columns.
Any ideas? Perhaps alternatives to this approach?
Thanks.
