Yii2 insert partial data into table - mysql

Question

I'm inserting into a table data coming from another table which is basically a subset of the first table.
$partialProduct = partialProducts::find()
->where(['company_id' => $company_id])
->andWhere(['productName' => $productName])->one();
$partialProductData = ($partialProductData['attributes']);
$product = Yii::$app->db->createCommand()
->insert('products', [
'field1' => $field1value,
...
...
'fieldN' => $fieldN,
])->execute();
Something like that could work, but considering that partialProductData has a lot of fields, I was searching for a cleaner way of doing it.
I've tried with a foreach(partialProductData as $key => $value) approach, considering that the keys are named as the products table column names, but I struggled in obtain something viable.

Answer 1

As suggested, creating an array of key/values pairs should work if the keys match the table fields in both models. Something like:
$data = [];
foreach($partialProduct->attributes as $key => $value):
$data[$key] = $value;
endforeach;
$product = Yii::$app->db->createCommand()
->insert('products', $data)
->execute();
Alternatively, you could use massive assignment. Again, for this to work the fields on both models would need to match:
$product = new Product;
$product->attributes = $partialProduct->attributes;
$product->save();
If you only want to save certain fields from your partialProducts to your Product, you can use scenarios to select the specific fields you want to be to set with massive assignment:
In Product.php
const SCENARIO_TEST = 'test';
...
public function scenarios()
{
return [
self::SCENARIO_TEST => ['field_1', 'field_2'], // Any field not listed here will not be set
];
}
And wherever you're doing the save:
$product = new Product;
$product->scenario = Product::SCENARIO_TEST;
$product->attributes = $partialProduct->attributes;
$product->save();
