Step 3. Create a Model

To access the data we need to specify the appropriate model class.

To know more about using models, read the Database Access & ORM article from the framework documentation.

To create models:

Create 3 files with the names "GanttTaskTable.php", "GanttLinkTable.php","SchedulerEventTable.php" in the "cakephp_dhtmlx/src/Model/Table" directory.

Open the "GanttTaskTable.php" file and add the following code there:

"GanttTaskTable.php" file

<?php
namespace App\Model\Table;
use Cake\ORM\Table;
 
class GanttTaskTable extends Table {
    public function initialize(array $config){
        $this->table('gantt_tasks');
        $this->primaryKey('id');
    }
}

Add the code below into the "GanttLinkTable.php" file:

"GanttLinkTable.php" file

<?php
namespace App\Model\Table;
use Cake\ORM\Table;
 
class GanttLinkTable extends Table {
    public function initialize(array $config){
        $this->table('gantt_links');
        $this->primaryKey('id');
    }
}

Put the following code to the "SchedulerEventTable.php" file:

"SchedulerEventTable.php" file

 <?php
namespace App\Model\Table;
use Cake\ORM\Table;
 
class SchedulerEventTable extends Table {
    public function initialize(array $config){
        $this->table('scheduler_events');
        $this->primaryKey('event_id');
    }
}
