当您不知道对象的父对象是否存在时,如何保存对象


How to save an object when you do not know if its parent objects exist or not?

我有三个表,

Business:
  id
  name
Office:
  id
  name
  business_id
Employee:
  id
  name
  office_id

Employee的office_id作为外键,Offices的business_id作为主键。

我有一个与每一个相关的域对象/实体,以及一个与每个相关的数据库映射器对象。

现在,当我有企业名称、办公室名称和员工名称时,如何插入新员工?

最初,我认为逻辑应该是这样的:

$businessMapper = new businessMapper();  
$business = $businessMapper->findBusinessByName($business_name);
if ($business == false) {   
     $business = new businessEntity(array(         
                     'businessName' => $business_name,            
                   ));        
     $businessMapper->save($business);   
  } 
 $officeMapper = new officeMapper();     
 $office = $officeMapper->getOfficeByName($office_name, $business);
.......etc.......

但后来我意识到,如果我必须拯救一家新企业,我就不可能有办公室或员工,所以试图找到他们是徒劳的。所以我想我应该创建一个if/else结构。

get business entity by business_name  
if ($business == false) {
    create business entity
    save business entity
    create office entity
    save office entity
    create employee entity
    save employee entity
} else {
   get office entity by office_name + business_id
   if (office == false) {
     create office entity
     save office entity
     create employee entity
     save employee entity
   } else {
     ......etc......
   }
}

但有太多重复的逻辑,而且非常不可扩展/肮脏。

那么应该如何实现呢?

其次,逻辑应该走向何方?它应该放在员工的映射器中吗?或者"添加员工"操作的控制器,或者它应该有一个新的模型?

我使用Zend作为我的框架,但我认为这个问题适用于所有MVC风格的结构,所以无论你的框架偏好如何,请随时回复:)

如果在If()块中使用OR语句,并将查询放入If语句中,则只有在If语句的第一部分失败时才会执行该语句,从而确保不会不必要地执行查询。就我们个人而言,我们也做了类似的事情,但当我们创建一个新域时,我们在域new=1中设置了一个标志,我们检查了这个标志,同样的方法只是消除了对这些脏变量的需要;-)

$businessMapper = Factory::getMapper('business');
if (!$business = $businessMapper->findByName("Business Name"))
{
    $business = $businessMapper->create();
    $business->setName("Business Name");
    $businessMapper->save($business);
    $newBusiness = true;
}
$officeMapper = Factory::getMapper('office');
if (isset($newBusiness) || !$office = $officeMapper->findByName("Office Name"))
{
    $office = $officeMapper->create();
    $office->setName("Office Name");
    $office->setBusiness($business->getId());
    $officeMapper->save($office);
    $newOffice = true;
}
$employeeMapper = Factory::getMapper('employee');
if (isset($newOffice) || !$employee = $employeeMapper->findByName("Employee"))
{
    $employee = $employeeMapper->create();
    $employee->setName("Employee Name");
    $employee->setOffice($office->getId());
    $employeeMapper->save($employee);
}
