NestedSet

The PHP nested set model for create/read/update/delete the tree data structure (hierarchy).

A class that help you to query complex data of nested set.

Example

Install

I recommend you to install this library via Composer and use Composer autoload for easily include the file. If you are not using Composer, you have to manually include the file by yourself.
Please make sure that the path to files are correct.

include_once '/path/to/Rundiz/src/NestedSet.php';

If you want to make sure or see how class is working please following the step below, otherwise skip this step.
Import tests/common/test-database-structure.sql file to the database.

---

Connect to DB

This class is using PDO class. Please connect to PDO and send the \PDO object to the class constructor.

$db['dsn'] = 'mysql:dbname=YOUR_DB_NAME;host=localhost;port=3306;charset=UTF8';
$db['username'] = 'admin';
$db['password'] = 'pass';
$db['options'] = [
    \PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION // throws PDOException.
];
$PDO = new \PDO($dbConfig['dsn'], $dbConfig['username'], $dbConfig['password'], $dbConfig['options']);
$NestedSet = new \Rundiz\NestedSet\NestedSet($PDO);
$NestedSet->tableName = 'test_taxonomy';// this should be your table name but you can use this for testing.

---

Insert the data

Before insert, you can get new position of that taxonomy level using getNewPosition() method.

$new_position = $NestedSet->getNewPosition(4);// result is 4.

Everytime you insert the data, you have to run rebuild() method to generate level, left, right data. The incorrect level, left, right data can cause incorrect listing.

$stmt = $PDO->prepare('INSERT INTO `test_taxonomy`(`parent_id`, `name`, `position`) VALUES (?, ?, ?)');
$stmt->execute([0, 'Root 4', 4]);
$NestedSet->rebuild();

---

Update the data

To update the data, you don't need new position for this but you have to run rebuild() method every time.

$stmt = $PDO->prepare('UPDATE `test_taxonomy`SET `name` = ?, `position` = ? WHERE `id` = ?;
$stmt->execute(['Root 4 new name', 4, 21]);
$NestedSet->rebuild();

Check parent under children

If you want to change the parent of selected item, you can check first that the new parent of selected item is under children of selected item or not.
You can use isParentUnderMyChildren() method to check this and false means correct parent (new parent is not children of editing item).
To continue on this please use the data in demo-data.sql file.

$editing_item_id = 9;
$new_parent_id = 7;
var_dump($NestedSet->isParentUnderMyChildren($editing_item_id, $new_parent_id));// false (CORRECT! the new parent is not child of this item)

$new_parent_id = 14;
var_dump($NestedSet->isParentUnderMyChildren($editing_item_id, $new_parent_id));// true (INCORRECT! the new parent is child of this item)

---

Read the data

To read the selected item data with its children, you can use getTaxonomyWithChildren() method.

$options['filter_taxonomy_id'] = 3;// The selected item ID.
$list_txn = $NestedSet->getTaxonomyWithChildren($options);
unset($options);
print_r($list_txn);

To read the selected item data with its parent in a line until root item, you can use getTaxonomyWithParents() method.

$options['filter_taxonomy_id'] = 13;// The selected item ID.
$list_txn = $NestedSet->getTaxonomyWithParents($options);
unset($options);
print_r($list_txn);

List the items

You can list the items by use listTaxonomy() method for nested array data or use listTaxonomyFlatten() for flatten data.

$options = [];
$options['unlimited'] = true;
$list_txn = $NestedSet->listTaxonomy($options);
unset($options);
// The variable $list_txn is array and have 2 keys (total, items).

Both methods parameters are same.

---

Delete an item

You can choose how to delete an item.

1. Delete selected item and ALL of its children.
2. Delete selected item and pull up its children to the current parent.

Every time you deleted, you have to run the rebuild() method to correct level, left, right data.

Delete selected item and ALL of its children.

$NestedSet->deleteWithChildren(16);
$NestedSet->rebuild();

Delete selected item and pull up its children to the current parent.

$NestedSet->deletePullUpChildren(9);
$NestedSet->rebuild();

For more example including complex conditions which is new feature since v 1.x, please take a look in tests/phpunit folder or the API document in .wiki/apidoc folder.
