_typed_columns not working when getting the value
Developer Preview
Hi all,
I have a model named cache and save some serialized data to the field ‘result_object’. In the model i set ‘result_object’ as a serialized typed column
protected static $_typed_columns = array(
'result_object' => 'serialized'
);Saving an array result in a serialized string. But getting the data wont unserialize the data.
echo ee('Model')->get('gmaps:Cache')->first()->result_object;Above code just print a serialized string, instead of an object/array of the data.
Do i miss something, or is this incorrect/correct?

Hmm yes that’s all we do elsewhere in the app, set the column to serialized and then when we access it, it’s an unserialized array. We even have automated tests for this. So, I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be working here. What if you do ->getProperty('result_object')?
Hi Kevin,
No luck, same result, just a serialized string.
The model is simple, so i have no idea what it could be…
namespace Gmaps\Model;
use EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Service\Model\Model;
class Cache extends Model {
protected static $_primary_key = 'cache_id';
protected static $_table_name = 'gmaps_cache';
protected $cache_id;
protected $address;
protected $lat;
protected $lng;
protected $date;
protected $search_key;
protected $geocoder;
protected $type;
protected $result_object;
protected static $_typed_columns = array(
'result_object' => 'serialized'
);
}I can’t reproduce this in our Forum module which should be running in the same context as any other add-on. Would you be able to send us this add-on so we can take a closer look? Maybe DM it to me in Slack?
For posterity, we found that Reinos was serializing the object before saving, which wasn’t necessary. The models will take care of serializing/unserializing for you.
