## Installation

Install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```

composer require admad/cakephp-sequence

```

Then load the plugin by running CLI command:

```bash

./bin/cake plugin load ADmad/Sequence

```

## How it works

`SequenceBehavior` provided by this plugin maintains a contiguous sequence of

integers in a selected column, for records in a table (optionally with grouping)

when adding, editing (including moving groups) or deleting records.

## Usage

Add the `SequenceBehavior` for your table and viola:

```php

$this->addBehavior('ADmad/Sequence.Sequence');

```

You can customize various options as shown:

```php

$this->addBehavior('ADmad/Sequence.Sequence', [

    'sequenceField' => 'position', // Field to use to store integer sequence. Default "position".

    'scope' => ['group_id'], // Array of field names to use for grouping records. Default [].

    'startAt' => 1, // Initial value for sequence. Default 1.

]);

```

Now whenever a new record is added its `position` field will be automatically

set to current largest value in sequence plus one.

When editing records you can set the position to a new value and the position of

other records in the list will be automatically updated to maintain proper

sequence.

When doing a find on the table an order clause is automatically added to the

query to order by the position field if an order clause has not already been set.

### Methods

#### moveUp(\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity)

Move up record by one position:

```php

$modelObject->moveUp($entity);

```

#### moveDown(\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity)

Move down record by one position:

```php

$modelObject->moveDown($entity);

```

#### setOrder(array $record)

Set order for list of records provided. Records can be provided as array of

entities or array of associative arrays like `[['id' => 1], ['id' => 2]]` or

array of primary key values like `[1, 2]`.

Shout out to @neilcrookes for his wonderful Sequence Behavior for CakePHP 1.3

which was the inspiration for this plugin.
