The Model extension brings "M" from MVC pattern into MediaWiki.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted Model folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Model
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  require_once "$IP/extensions/Model/Model.php";
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Very simple and lightweight thing. Model allows you use model-objects over Mediawiki DatabaseBase class.

With Model you can focus on work with objects, not SQL-queries.

$user = new Model_User();
$user->password = '1234';
$user->save();

To start using Model:

• include it in LocalSettings.php
• create model classes based on class Model with your model description
• create proper database tables
• use models in your code.
