Why in ERestEventListenerRegistry.php $data variable is CActiveRecord object?

[evan108108]

This is because CActiveRecord allows access to lazy load of relations (which happen @ render), is easily serializable and in general is a more useful reference then a basic array (though $data is often an array of CActiveRecord objects). That said its a really just a design decision that we made along the way. The best part about RESTFullYii is that you can hook these events or create and throw your own thus completely changing the behavior to fit your needs without needing to alter the underlying code.

All that said, I assume you are asking this question for a reason. Let me know why and perhaps we will change it. Additionally I would very much like to encourage you to fork this repo ,make changes and submit pull requests.

I have same question, as i want to add some more information while rendering a data but somehow it is not possible..

$onRest(ERestEvent::REQ_GET_RESOURCE_RENDER, function($data, $model_name, $relations, $count, $visibleProperties=[], $hiddenProperties=[]) {
            //Handler for GET (single resource) request
            ;$this->setHttpStatus(200);
            $this->renderJSON([
                'type'              => 'rest',
                'success'           => (($count > 0)? true: false),
                'message'           => (($count > 0)? "Record Found": "No Record Found"),
                'totalCount'    => $count,
                'modelName'     => $model_name,
                'relations'     => $relations,
                'visibleProperties' => $visibleProperties,
                'hiddenProperties' => $hiddenProperties,
                'data'              => $data,
                'extra_info_array' => $extra_info_array
            ]);
        });

@evan108108 @evgeniyVB possible to do this?? because sometimes we need additional information along with CActiveRecord object..

if you have already added this feature then would like to know.
