It looks really clumsy to me. What about the following?
class AppModel extends Model {
function data($field) {
return $this->data[$this->name][$field];
}
}
First I was not sure why in the $data array there is a key
'ModelName', I would have expected something like this:
array(
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'bla'
)
instead of
array(
'ModelName' => array(
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'bla'
)
)
Then I saw that every related model has its own key there, so it makes
a bit sense. But why is the key in the array the model's name?
Wouldn't it be better to have the name of the association in there?
Because what when I have multiple associations to the same model? Or a
HABTM with myself?
Aside of this, I guess retrieving the "immediate" data of the model
(not of it's related models') should have a special status and should
be able to be retrieved in a faster way, like the one above...
