php - CakePHP: How to control the structure of data returned by find() method -


in testscontroller.php i'm using find() method... 

$r = $this->question->find('all', array('conditions' => $conditions ));

...and resulting data looks this:

array(     (int) 0 => array(         'question' => array(             'id' => '2',             'created' => '2013-02-13 14:15:16',             'modified' => '2013-04-18 09:10:03'         ),     ), ...

notice how each item in array wrapped inside another array. i'd make structure of array consistent how i'm using elsewhere play nicely elements , other code expect structure match when set variables inside controller...

$question = $this->question->findbyid($id); $this->set('question', $question);

...which results in this:

array(     'question' => array(         'id' => '1',         'created' => '2013-04-04 15:25:54',         'modified' => '2013-04-04 15:25:54'     ), ...

the differences i'm aware of second example users findbyid() method, , it's maybe relevant find() in first example inside different model's controller.

is there way make them match?

(i know manually re-shuffle data array_map() rather understand why different , not have to.)

as @dave said, it's natural have numbered arrays when expecting multiple records, find('list'), find('all')... well, except find('first').
it's matter of knowing type of records expecting get.

however, if decided change functionality , have every record numbered arrays make consistent, there's way changing 1 file.

in appmodel

public function afterfind($results, $primary = false) {     if(!set::numeric(array_keys($results)) {         $results= array($results);     }      return $results; }

that way, find() methods return 

array( (int) 0 => array(     'question' => array( /*data*/ ), ), ...

even if it's 1 record.

warning: haven't tried in appmodel, in specific cases, test functionality , keep adjusting code until every case covered. things might produce errors: $results no results, , when retrieving associated data other model. watch out because function isn't definitive , have play bit (probably)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
