Toggle, select or multiselect a database field based on a set of conditions

Install

Using Composer:

composer require muffin/multiselect:1.0.x-dev

You then need to load the plugin. You can use the shell command:

bin/cake plugin load Muffin/Multiselect

or by manually adding statement shown below to your app's config/bootstrap.php:

Plugin::load('Muffin/Multiselect');

Usage

In a playlist, a single song can be play at the time. Whenever a song is marked as playing, all of the other songs are marked as not playing. for this we use the boolean field playing.

CREATE table songs(
    id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
    title varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    playing tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
);

Load the behavior in your model SongsTable.php:

$this->addBehavior('Multiselect.Multiselect', ['playing']);

More complex use cases can be covered like the following. Where only 2 articles can be marked as featured at the time for the same author. When a third article is marked as featured, one of the 3 articles gets unfeatured. In this case, ordered by the least view count and by modification date.

$this->addBehavior('Multiselect.Multiselect', [
    'featured' => [
        'state' => true, 
        'scope' => ['author_id'],
        'limit' => 2,
        'order' => [
            'view_count' => 'ASC',
            'modified' => 'ASC',
        ],
    ],
]);
