About this extension

EChainableBehavior is Yii extension that gives posibility to use jQuery-like chainable style of working with public component properties, class methods that not return important data or AR attributes

Installation

Place EChainableBehavior.php to protected/extensions

Usage

example: $user->attachBehavior('chain',array('class'=>'ext.EChainableBehavior')); $id = $user->chain
->email('mail@example.com') # set $user->email ->firstName('Ivan') # set $user->firstName ->lastName('Ivanov') ->id(); # if no attributes passed then return value

It's convenient to use with clientScript to make code of views more clean: $res=Yii::app()->clientScript->chain ->registerScriptFile('script1.js') ->registerScriptFile('script2.js') ->registerScriptFile('script3.js') ->coreScriptUrl(); //will return clientScript->coreScriptUrl

Before using of chainable behavior you need to configure this component in your application configuration: 'components'=>array( 'clientScript'=>array(
'behaviors'=>array( 'chain'=>'ext.EChainableBehavior' ) ), .... ),

If last parameter passed to method is equal to constant ECB_RETURN then method result will returned instead of $this
