Create auto generated forms for each new table

Question

I use yii2 framework in my application and I have a table named objects in my SQL database

"objects" ( object_id , object_typeID , ... )

But we have some objects that have special fields and user should be able to add custom fields to objects form

My solution is create a new table named object-type-"index" for each new objects that have custom fields!

But how should I automatically create custom form for each object-type-"index" tables? Can I use gii module to generate automatic forms?

Any idea about my issue? – amir zaghari Aug 16 '16 at 09:38 — amir zaghari, Aug 16 '16 at 09:38

For custom fields you should have two additional tables for all "objects":

[object_field_value]
object_id | field_id | value
    2     |    5     |  Yes
    2     |    6     |  Blue
    3     |    5     |  No

[object_field]
ID |    name      | [other attributes for field]
 5 |  Colorful?   |
 6 |  Base color  |

That way you can match object with it's all fields
