Mapping existent Class

[Adauto Oliveira]

I would like to know how to map existent classes.

class Person{
  public name;
  function setName($name){
  $this->name=$name;
  }
  function add($person){
     R::store($person)
  }

}

$fulano= newPerson();
$fulano->setName('Peter');
$fulano->add($fulano);

my doubt is where and how to adapt the R::dispense() to my created class.

That's not how RedBeanPHP works:

http://www.redbeanphp.com/models

Example:

class Person extends SimpleModel {
    public function update() {
       ....do validation...
    }
}

With RedBeanPHP, you never need methods like setName or add.


To set a property, just set it on the bean: $person->name = 'Jack';

To add a person as a relation: $person->ownPerson[] = $person2;
