Time for action – Creating our SPOD class

First, let's create a very simple SPOD class representing our blog posts.

Add this code to Post.hx:

class Post extends neko.db.Object
{
   public var id : Int;
   public var title : String;
   public var body : String;
   
   public static var manager = new neko.db.Manager<Post>(Post);
}

CREATE TABLE  'Post' (
'id' INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'title' TEXT NOT NULL,
'body' LONGTEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (  'id' )
) ENGINE = MYISAM;

Once you have done this, our SQL database is set up correctly and we have objects to work with. You may want to populate it with some dumb posts:

INSERT INTO  'expressCafe'.'Post' (
'id' ,
'title' ,
'body'
)
VALUES (
NULL ,  'First Post',  'Hi, this is the first post of this blog!'
), (
