Hereโ€™s a README in English for your Yii2 behavior code:

Model Attribute Event Behavior for Yii2

A behavior for Yii2 ActiveRecord that triggers custom methods when specific model attributes are changed. Useful for handling attribute-specific logic after insert/update operations.

Installation

Place the ModelAttributeEventBehaviour class in your project (e.g., under components/behaviors). Ensure the namespace matches your project structure.

Usage

  1. Extend the Behavior: Create a new class inheriting from ModelAttributeEventBehaviour.
  2. Attach to Model: Attach the behavior to your ActiveRecord model.
  3. Define Handlers: Implement methods in the format onChange{AttributeName} or onInsert{AttributeName} to handle attribute changes.

Example

Step 1: Create a Custom Behavior Class

namespace app\components\behaviors;

class MyEventBehavior extends \carono\yii2\behaviors\ModelAttributeEventBehaviour
{
 public function onChangeStatusId($event, $insert, $model, $value, $oldValue, $changedAttributes)
 {
 // Triggered when `status_id` changes
 if (!$insert && $oldValue != $value) {
 // Custom logic here (e.g., send notification, log change)
 }
 }

 public function onInsertEmail($event, $insert, $model, $value, $oldValue, $changedAttributes)
 {
 // Triggered when `email` is set during model creation
 if ($insert) {
 // Custom logic for new email
 }
 }
}

Step 2: Attach to Your Model

namespace app\models;

use yii\db\ActiveRecord;
use app\components\behaviors\MyEventBehavior;

class User extends ActiveRecord
{
 public function behaviors()
 {
 return [
 MyEventBehavior::class,
 ];
 }
}

Method Parameters

Handler methods receive the following arguments:

  • $event: The AfterSaveEvent object.
  • $insert: Boolean indicating if the model was just inserted.
  • $model: The ActiveRecord model instance.
  • $value: New value of the attribute.
  • $oldValue: Old value of the attribute.
  • $changedAttributes: Array of all changed attributes and their old values (as in $event->changedAttributes).

Events

  • After Insert: Triggers methods prefixed with onInsert (e.g., onInsertEmail for the email attribute).
  • After Update: Triggers methods prefixed with onChange (e.g., onChangeStatusId for the status_id attribute).

Important Notes

  • The $changedAttributes array contains the old values of changed attributes.
  • Handlers are only triggered if the attribute value actually changes (as detected by Yii2โ€™s dirty attributes).
  • The behavior automatically binds to the EVENT_AFTER_INSERT and EVENT_AFTER_UPDATE events.
