MongoDateBehavior automatically fills the specified attributes with the current ISODate.

By default, MongoDateBehavior will fill the created and updated attributes with the current ISODate when the associated AR object is being inserted; it will fill the updated attribute with the ISODate when the AR object is being updated.

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist mongosoft/yii2-mongodate-behavior "*"

or add

"mongosoft/yii2-mongodate-behavior": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Attach the behavior in your model:

class User extends ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public static function collectionName()
    {
        return 'user';
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function attributes()
    {
        return [
            '_id', 'name', 'created', 'updated',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    function behaviors()
    {
        return [
            MongoDateBehavior::className(),
        ];
    }
}
