Models Metadata
To speed up development Phalcon\Mvc\Model helps you to query fields and constraints from tables related to models. To achieve this, Phalcon\Mvc\Model\MetaData is available to manage and cache table metadata.
Sometimes it is necessary to get those attributes when working with models. You can get a metadata instance as follows:
$robot = new Robots(); // Get Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Metadata instance $metadata = $robot->getModelsMetaData(); // Get robots fields names $attributes = $metadata->getAttributes($robot); print_r($attributes); // Get robots fields data types $dataTypes = $metadata->getDataTypes($robot); print_r($dataTypes);
