Getting module's name from model's name

I need to know a module name for a particular model, if I know only model's name.

For example, I have:

I want to know the module name of branch.php from the class of branchtype.php.

How to do this?

Unfortunately Yii does not provide any native method to determine the module name that model belongs to. You have to write your own algorithm to do this task.

I can suppose you two possible methods:

  1. Store configuration for module's models in the module class.
  2. Provide the name of your model using path aliases

First method:

MyModule.php:

class MyModule extends CWebModule
{
    public $branchType = 'someType';
}

Branch.php

class Branch extends CActiveRecord
{
    public function init() // Or somewhere else
    {
        $this->type = Yii::app()->getModule('my')->branchType;
    }
}

In configuration:

'modules' =>
    'my' => array(
        'branchType' => 'otherType',
    )

Second method:

In configuration:

'components' => array(
    'modelConfigurator' => array(
        'models' => array(
            'my.models.Branch' => array(
                'type' => 'someBranch'
            ),
        ),
    ),
)

You should write component ModelConfigurator that will store this configuration or maybe parse it in some way. Then you can do something like this:

BaseModel.php:

class BaseModel extends CActiveRecord
{
    public $modelAlias;

    public function init()
    {
        Yii::app()->modelConfigurator->configure($this, $this->modelAlias);
    }
}

Branch.php:

class Branch extends BaseModel
{
    public $modelAlias = 'my.models.Branch';

    // Other code
}

Try this:

Yii::app()->controller->module->id.

Or inside a controller:

$this->module->id
