i'd like to use the database type of an Entity's field as a HTML class to provide CSS formatting for the cell.
i know i can do this in the Controller via *$this->SomeTable->schema()->columnType('some_column');* which leads to *foreach ($this->SomeTable->schema()->columns() as $column) { $columnTypeMap[$column] = $this->SomeTable->schema()->columnType($column);}// etc.* i can then use this mapping to set the cell class with the value (see first 4 cells in screenshot). i'd also like to do this for some mutators & virtual properties. However, since the mutators aren't columns directly from a table, there appears to be no way to do it for them. For instance: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sh-MN75GNaY/VTyDk872bgI/AAAAAAAA4oo/RbvgsQGRYv0/s1600/2015-04-26_0201.png> The last 3 columns above don't provide database types. Is there any clean/clever/elegant way to do this? i realize some virtuals probably can't realistically do this (such as concatenating several fields together), but two of those are "date-ish", and based on actual DATE-type columns. Any ideas? Perhaps alternatives to this approach?
