Welcome

The bake.sh script is where all the src/Model files came from.

1. It calls bin/cake bake for every table in the Opencart database, and then makes final adjustments to the generated model classes.
2. It also generates Abstract classes for each database table - but only if a given class doesn't exist already. These Abstract classes are then made to be the common parent for all table classes baked by CakePHP. If you need to re-generate the abstract classes, delete the individual classes or whole Abstract directories in PLUGIN/src/Model/Entity and/or PLUGIN/src/Model/Table, re-run bake.sh and restore manual edits, if any, from git.
3. Finally, it copies custom models from PLUGIN/tools/copy. If you have custom models that don't have a database table, they won't be picked up by the loop in step 1, so you have to manually create them inside that folder.

It accepts Opencart version number as argument: 2 or 4.

Usage

1. cd to a folder with CakePHP application. The application needs to have an Opencart database connection defined in config/app.php or config/app_local.php named opencart$VERSION-clean

2. Run the bake.sh script

    /var/www/cakephp-opencart/tools/bake.sh $VERSION
   

   $VERSION must match $VERSION from the database connection name above.

All changes and adjustments to the model files must be made through this script. No manual edits - this ensures the ability to re-run bake.sh without fearing to lose edits.
