Models bind to data objects in the database. A model represents an object carrying data, it has the functionality to get/save/delete and can also have logic to transform the data it holds.

The framework supports the following data objects in Wordpress:

• Posts
• Users
• Taxonomies (categories and terms)
• Options
• Comments
• Custom data table (see Database section)

Post models handle data coming from "posts" and "postmeta" tables (in the database); they are commonly used to hold any type of data (say products, pages, posts, events and any other) and are differentiated using the post type property.

Post models can be created and new types can be registered using Ayuco.

Create command

Create command is used when the post type related to the model is already defined in Wordpress (i.e. pages, posts, and attachments).

php ayuco create model:{model}

Sample:

php ayuco create model:Post

Register command

Register command is used when a new post type needs to be registered and needs to be related to a model (i.e. books, products, artists and others).

php ayuco register type:{type} {model} {controller}

Sample:

php ayuco register type:book Book BookController

User models are only used to handle data coming from "users" and "usermeta" tables (in the database).

User models can be created using Ayuco.

Create command

php ayuco create usermodel:{model}

Sample:

php ayuco create usermodel:User

Option Models handle data coming from "options" table (in the database); they are commonly used to hold app configuration settings.

Option models can be created using Ayuco.

Create command

php ayuco create optionmodel:{model} {id}

Sample:

php ayuco create optionmodel:MyApp my_app

Term models handle data coming from "terms" and "termmeta" tables (in the database);  they are commonly used to hold any type of data terminology (say tags, categories and any other).

Term models can be created using Ayuco.

Create command

php ayuco create termmodel:{model} {taxonomy}

Sample:

php ayuco create termmodel:BookPublisher book_publisher

Comment models handle data coming from "comments" and "commentmeta" tables (in the database);  they are commonly used to hold any type of data comment or notes attached to a post.

Comment models can be created using Ayuco.

Create command

php ayuco create commentmodel:{model}

Sample:

php ayuco create commentmodel:BookNote
