[FIXED] Does the Yii CActiveRecord class have a first() method?

Issue

I need to just get the first record from a Yii CActiveRecord derived class. In Rails I would just be able to do this:

post = Post.first

I thought I could do the same thing with Yii like this:

$post = Post::model()->first();

But that method doesn't exist. Do I have to just do find with a condition to get the first record?

I don't see first() in the docs for CActiveRecord so I assume the answer is no, it doesn't have a first method. So how would one go about querying just the first record?

This works but sure is an ugly hack. Surely there's a better way.

$first = Post::model()->findAll(array('order'=>id, 'limit'=>1));

Solution

CActiveRecord::find() returns only one model.

$first=Post::model()->find();
