Method Detail

getBaseType()source public

getBaseType( )

Returns the base type name that this class is inheriting.

This is useful when extending base type for adding extra functionality, but still want the rest of the framework to use the same assumptions it would do about the base type it inherits from.

Returns

string
The base type name that this class is inheriting.

getName()source public

getName( )

Returns type identifier name for this object.

Returns

string
The type identifier name for this object.

marshal()source public

Parameters

mixed $value
The value to convert.

Returns

mixed

newId()source public

newId( )

Generate a new primary key value for a given type.

This method can be used by types to create new primary key values when entities are inserted.

Returns
