Insert Data Into Database

Potato

Hi there,

I added a new table to my database. Now I’m trying to add data into that table through my extension’s admin setting page.

After looking through the code from several other extensions I got a bit confused. There are so many files that need to be added/altered… so I kinda lost track. (This is my first time working with an ORM like Eloquent)

Model, Serializer, Controllers, Listeners, Relationships…
Could someone explain to me, how it works? Which classes and functionality do I need to implement?

(If you could point me into the right directions or if you know a good tutorial or simple example project, that would be appreciated too! ? )

(Also: sorry for my english ? )

It's fine don't worry.

Potato Model, Serializer, Controllers, Listeners, Relationships…

Models represent a table, they are used to query, write, update the database
Serializers transform database data (models) into a json representation
Controllers are where web or api requests are processed, they often dispatch the work to Commands and their Handlers.
Listeners allow hooking into Flarum, you pretty much need listeners for everything you do with extensions.
Relationships.. these provide the ability to retrieve and mutate Models that are "related" to the subject Model; eg the User models has Posts and Discussions, these relations have to be defined to be able to retrieve them without overly complex code, eg $user->posts would be enough. Adding relationships to core models require listeners. I've used them in Byobu before, but there are probably easier examples out there.

If you explain what you're trying to do we can give better directions ?

@luceos Ohh thanks a lot! I'll have another look at my code with this in mind. (and maybe come back with a more specific question ? )
