## Protected Methods

Hide inherited methods

Method | Description | Defined By
--- | --- | ---
getData() | Returns the fixture data. | yii\test\BaseActiveFixture
loadData() | Returns the fixture data. | yii\test\FileFixtureTrait

## Property Details

$data public property

The data rows. Each array element represents one row of data (column name => column value).

public array $data = []
$modelClass public property

The AR model class associated with this fixture.

public string $modelClass = null

## Method Details

getData() protected method

Returns the fixture data.

See also [[loadData()]].

protected array getData ( )
return | array | The data to be put into the database
throws | yii\base\InvalidConfigException | if the specified data file does not exist.

getModel() public method

Returns the AR model by the specified model name.

A model name is the key of the corresponding data row in $data.

public null|yii\db\ActiveRecord getModel ( $name )
$name | string | The model name.
return | null|yii\db\ActiveRecord | The AR model, or null if the model cannot be found in the database
throws | yii\base\InvalidConfigException | if $modelClass is not set.

load() public method

Loads the fixture.

The default implementation simply stores the data returned by getData() in $data. You should usually override this method by putting the data into the underlying database.

public void load ( )

unload() public method

Unloads the fixture.

This method is called after every test method finishes. You may override this method to perform necessary cleanup work for the fixture.

public void unload ( )
