# Abstract class **Phalcon\Mvc\Model\MetaData**[](# "永久链接至标题") *implements*`Phalcon\Di\InjectionAwareInterface` Because Phalcon\Mvc\Model requires meta-data like field names, data types, primary keys, etc. this component collect them and store for further querying by Phalcon\Mvc\Model. Phalcon\Mvc\Model\MetaData can also use adapters to store temporarily or permanently the meta-data. A standard Phalcon\Mvc\Model\MetaData can be used to query model attributes: ~~~ <?php $metaData = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\MetaData\Memory(); $attributes = $metaData->getAttributes(new Robots()); print_r($attributes); ~~~ ### Constants[](# "永久链接至标题") *integer***MODELS_ATTRIBUTES** *integer***MODELS_PRIMARY_KEY** *integer***MODELS_NON_PRIMARY_KEY** *integer***MODELS_NOT_NULL** *integer***MODELS_DATA_TYPES** *integer***MODELS_DATA_TYPES_NUMERIC** *integer***MODELS_DATE_AT** *integer***MODELS_DATE_IN** *integer***MODELS_IDENTITY_COLUMN** *integer***MODELS_DATA_TYPES_BIND** *integer***MODELS_AUTOMATIC_DEFAULT_INSERT** *integer***MODELS_AUTOMATIC_DEFAULT_UPDATE** *integer***MODELS_DEFAULT_VALUES** *integer***MODELS_EMPTY_STRING_VALUES** *integer***MODELS_COLUMN_MAP** *integer***MODELS_REVERSE_COLUMN_MAP** ### Methods[](# "永久链接至标题") final protected **_initialize** (*unknown* $model, *unknown* $key, *unknown* $table, *unknown* $schema) Initialize the metadata for certain table public **setDI** (*unknown* $dependencyInjector) Sets the DependencyInjector container public **getDI** () Returns the DependencyInjector container public **setStrategy** (*unknown* $strategy) Set the meta-data extraction strategy public **getStrategy** () Return the strategy to obtain the meta-data final public **readMetaData** (*unknown* $model) Reads the complete meta-data for certain model ~~~ <?php print_r($metaData->readMetaData(new Robots());
