coll-net's Issues

m_user doesn't have properties to show user details.

Desired AbcModel blueprint is as follows :

class AbcModel {
  private $property1; // Anything required internally, like $userCollection etc
  public $property2; // Anything which controller can directly see and change
  function __construct() {
    // this should call constructors based on param count 
    // Refer to : http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php#99903
  }
  // followed by constructors 
  public function save() { 
    // saves the model into db
  }
  public function retrieve() {
    // gets the model from db using $email or $_id, either of which would be set 
    // in case of UserModel. NOTE : no params
  }
  public function exists() {
    // boolean based function
  }
  public function delete() {
    // deletes using $email or $_id, either of which would be set in case of UserModel
  }
  public function create($array_of_details_of_the_model_to_be_saved) {
    // saves on the basis of the given array, throws exception in 
    // case of error and finally fills the properties of the class for use
  }
  public function set($array_of_details) {
    // Takes the array and sets all the public fields like name etc, if present in the array
  }
}

Types of constructors :
A controller should be able to do the following

$user = new UserModel($email, $pass); // This constructor would authenticate, or throw exception 
echo $user->name; // This should give the name (no need to retrieve user)

$user = new UserModel($email); // This constructor should fetch user details
// but hide sensitive data like pass. Such a model is immutable, 
// ie we can only read but not write anything in it.
echo $user->email; // This should give the email of user

$user = new UserModel(); // An empty user model is created
$user->create([
  "email" => "[email protected]",
  "password" => "unhashed password",
  "name" => "Some One",
  "gender" => "male"
]); // Creates a new model and saves it.
// This should verify , hash the password and create a user. 

$user = new UserModel($email, $pass);
$user->name = "Someone Else";
$user->save(); // This should save the above made change

$user = new UserModel($email); // Immutable object 
$user->name = "Someone Else";
$user->save(); // This should throw an exception as the model 
// isn't authenticated to make such changes.
