## Migration Pattern

### Standard Migration Template

```php
<?php
/**
 * ModelName Model
 * Description
 */

require_once BASE_PATH . '/core/BaseModel.php';
require_once BASE_PATH . '/core/SoftDelete.php';

class ModelName extends BaseModel {
    use SoftDelete;
    
    protected $table = 'table_name';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';
    protected $fillable = [
        // List all fillable columns
    ];
    
    /**
     * Define searchable columns for BaseModel
     */
    protected function getSearchColumns() {
        return ['name', 'code']; // Customize per model
    }
    
    /**
     * Override getAll if JOINs or custom logic needed
     */
    public function getAll($page = 1, $perPage = 25, $search = '', $filters = [], $orderBy = null) {
        // Add soft delete filter
        // Add JOINs if needed
        // Call parent or custom implementation
    }
    
    /**
     * Override getById if JOINs needed
     */
    public function getById($id, $includeTrashed = false) {
        // Add soft delete filter
        // Add JOINs if needed
    }
    
    /**
     * Override delete to use soft delete
     */
    public function delete($id) {
        return $this->softDelete($id);
    }
    
    // Keep any custom methods specific to this model
}
```

## Benefits Achieved

### Code Reduction

| Metric | Before | After | Savings |
|--------|--------|-------|---------|
| Average lines per model | 50-100 | 30-50 | 20-50 lines |
| Total lines (7 models) | ~500 | ~350 | ~150 lines |
| Projected total (122 models) | ~6,100 | ~3,660 | ~2,440 lines |

### Features Added

- ✅ **Soft Delete**: All migrated models support soft delete
- ✅ **Consistent API**: All models have identical method signatures
- ✅ **Mass Assignment Protection**: $fillable property prevents mass assignment vulnerabilities
- ✅ **Automatic Timestamps**: created_at and updated_at managed automatically
- ✅ **Flexible Search**: getSearchColumns() defines searchable fields
- ✅ **Bulk Operations**: bulkInsert(), bulkDelete(), bulkSoftDelete(), bulkRestore()

### Developer Experience

- ✅ **Faster Development**: New models can be created in minutes
- ✅ **Easier Maintenance**: Bug fixes in one place (BaseModel)
- ✅ **Better Testing**: Consistent API makes testing easier
- ✅ **Less Duplication**: DRY principle applied across all models

2. 🔄 Migrate remaining 8 priority models (Project, Warehouse, Location, Client, Employee, User, Payment, JournalEntry)
3. 📝 Create comprehensive test suite
4. 📝 Update controllers to use new model signatures

### Short Term (This Week)

1. Migrate 20 simple models (Batch 1)
2. Migrate 20 simple models (Batch 2)
3. Migrate 21 simple models (Batch 3)
4. Test all migrations

### Medium Term (Next Week)

## Testing Checklist

For each migrated model:

- [ ] Model extends BaseModel
- [ ] Model uses SoftDelete trait
- [ ] $table property set correctly
- [ ] $fillable array populated
- [ ] getSearchColumns() implemented
- [ ] getAll() works with pagination
- [ ] getCount() returns correct count
- [ ] getById() returns correct record
- [ ] create() inserts new record
- [ ] update() updates existing record
- [ ] delete() soft deletes record
- [ ] restore() restores soft deleted record
- [ ] forceDelete() permanently deletes record
- [ ] All custom methods still work
- [ ] Controller integration works
- [ ] View integration works

## Migration Commands

### Run Migration Analysis
```bash
php scripts/migrate_models_to_basemodel.php
```

### Migrate Single Model
```bash
php scripts/auto_migrate_models.php ModelName
```

### Batch Migrate Priority Models
```bash
bash scripts/batch_migrate_priority_models.sh

## Rollback Plan

All original files are backed up to:
```
backups/models/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS/ModelName.php
```

To rollback a model:
```bash
cp backups/models/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS/ModelName.php models/ModelName.php
```
