In master branch of Jelly we had form items generating. In this functional there was a data formatting mechanism (such as pretty_format for timestamps) that helped to convert data that was requested from the database in database (or some other) format to a readable to the user format.
In 3.1 unstable branch we offer to make a 'format' method that will be in model and tries to format a field data to represent it in some pretty format that was set in the model meta ('pretty_format' in field properties).
It would be defined in model meta initialization like something this:
'birthday' => Jelly::field('Timestamp', array(
'pretty_format' => 'd.m.Y',
)),
/* for Integer fields would be used number_format function and params
* for pretty_format should set as
* array(int $decimals = 0 , string $dec_point = '.' , string $thousands_sep = ',' )
*/
'price' => Jelly::field('Float', array(
'pretty_format' => array(2, ',', ' ')),
)),
'monkeys' => Jelly::field('String', array(
'pretty_format' => '[%010s]\n', // sprintf format is set
)),
And will be called like that:
// fields formats
echo $model->format('birthday'); // will echo formatted date: 04.02.1999
echo $model->format('price'); // will echo formatted price: 12 000,25
echo $model->format('monkeys'); // will echo formatted string: [0000monkey]
