CakePHP: Creating a white list dynamically.

cakephp-dynamic-whitelist.php

  /**
   * Model constructor.
   */
  public function __construct( $id = false, $table = null, $ds = null ) {
    parent::__construct( $id, $table, $ds );

    # Generate a whitelist that doesn't require me to make an update every time
    # I add a property...unless I don't want that property to be batch updated.
    # For me, this is usually the exception rather than the rule.
    $this->whitelist = array_diff( array_keys( $this->schema() ), array( 'id', 'admin', 'last_login', 'active', 'created', 'modified' ) );
