I am using Yii 2.1 and Yii2-elasticsearch 2.0.3 with a elasticsearch 1.5.0 server to try and index a Member model for a more powerful search. I have a common\indexes\Member
model that extends yii\elasticsearch\ActiveRecord
and set up the attributes I want to index.
namespace common\indexes;
use yii\elasticsearch\ActiveRecord;
class Member extends ActiveRecord {
/**
* @return array the list of attributes for this record
*/
public function attributes() {
// path mapping for '_id' is setup to field 'id'
return ['id', 'given_name', 'family_name', 'email'];
}
}
I am having trouble setting the attributes I want in the common\indexes\Member
model.
I am creating a new instance of the object and trying to set the attribute values via the ActiveRecord setAttributes() method but it doesn't seem to set any values.
$index = new common\indexes\Member();
$index->setAttributes(['given_name' => 'Test', 'family_name' => 'User', 'email' => 'test.member@test.com']);
$index->save();
This seems to create an empty record. If I manually set the attributes one by one everything seems to work and a record with the correct attributes is created in the elasticsearch database.
$index = new common\indexes\Member();
$index->given_name = 'Test';
$index->family_name = 'User';
$index->email = 'test.member@test.com';
$index->save();
Am I using the setAttributes()
method incorrectly for elasticsearch ActiveRecord's? Do I need to set up my elasticsearch Model differently?
By default setAttributes
only sets attributes that have at least a single validation rule defined or those that are - as a minimum - defined as being "safe" (either via safeAttributes()
or via the safe-validator).
You can force it to assign everything by just changing the call to
$index->setAttributes([
'given_name' => 'Test',
'family_name' => 'User',
'email' => 'test.member@test.com'
], false);
This tells it it is okay to also assign non-safe attributes. But I usually prefer to make sure the validation is configured correctly
