Class yii\behaviors\BlameableBehavior

Inheritance	yii\behaviors\BlameableBehavior » yii\behaviors\AttributeBehavior » yii\base\Behavior » yii\base\Object
Implements	yii\base\Configurable
Available since version	2.0
Source Code	https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/behaviors/BlameableBehavior.php

BlameableBehavior automatically fills the specified attributes with the current user ID.

To use BlameableBehavior, insert the following code to your ActiveRecord class:

use yii\behaviors\BlameableBehavior;

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        BlameableBehavior::className(),
    ];
}

By default, BlameableBehavior will fill the created_by and updated_by attributes with the current user ID when the associated AR object is being inserted; it will fill the updated_by attribute with the current user ID when the AR object is being updated.

Because attribute values will be set automatically by this behavior, they are usually not user input and should therefore not be validated, i.e. created_by and updated_by should not appear in the rules() method of the model.

If your attribute names are different, you may configure the $createdByAttribute and $updatedByAttribute properties like the following:

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        [
            'class' => BlameableBehavior::className(),
            'createdByAttribute' => 'author_id',
            'updatedByAttribute' => 'updater_id',
        ],
    ];
}

Property Details

$createdByAttribute public property

The attribute that will receive current user ID value Set this property to false if you do not want to record the creator ID.

public string $createdByAttribute = 'created_by'

$updatedByAttribute public property

The attribute that will receive current user ID value Set this property to false if you do not want to record the updater ID.

public string $updatedByAttribute = 'updated_by'

$value public property

The value that will be assigned to the current attributes. This can be an anonymous function, callable in array format (e.g. [$this, 'methodName']), an Expression object representing a DB expression (e.g. new Expression('NOW()')), scalar, string or an arbitrary value. If the former, the return value of the function will be assigned to the attributes. The signature of the function should be as follows,

function ($event)
{
    // return value will be assigned to the attribute
}

In case, when the property is null, the value of Yii::$app->user->id will be used as the value.

public mixed $value = null
