- Returns:
-
the definition for the object, the default implementation is to return an empty array. It's upto each inheriting class to return a proper definition array.
The definition array is an associative array consists of these keys:
- fields - an associative array of fields which defines which database field (the key) is to fetched and how they map to object member variables (the value).
- keys - an array of fields which is used for uniquely identifying the object in the table.
- function_attributes - an associative array of attributes which maps to member functions, used for fetching data with functions.
- set_functions - an associative array of attributes which maps to member functions, used for setting data with functions.
- increment_key - the field which is incremented on table inserts.
- class_name - the classname which is used for instantiating new objecs when fetching from the database.
- sort - an associative array which defines the default sorting of lists, the key is the table field while the value is the sorting method which is either
asc or desc . - name - the name of the database table
Example: function definition()
{
return array( "fields" => array( "id" => "ID",
"version" => "Version",
"name" => "Name" ),
"keys" => array( "id", "version" ),
"function_attributes" => array( "current" => "currentVersion",
"class_name" => "className" ),
"increment_key" => "id",
"class_name" => "eZContentClass",
"sort" => array( "id" => "asc" ),
"name" => "ezcontentclass" );
}
