			While this is an acceptable use of [[Nodes]], it is more common to use atkMetaNode syntax, which, for the above example, would look like this:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
			class employee extends atkMetaNode
			{
			protected $table = "employee"; // this is optional if the tablename is equal to the class name of the node

			public static function meta(atkMetaPolicy $policy)
			{
			$policy->get("lastname")->addFlag(AF_SEARCHABLE);
			}
			}
			</syntaxhighlight>

	~~Original Poster: Ivo~~		In the latter example, all attributes are derived from the database metadata. This includes flags such as AF_OBLIGATORY. You only need to specify behaviour that it can't derive from the db, such as AF_SEARCHABLE.

A typical example of a node file looks like this:
<pre>
<?php

class employee extends atkNode
{
function employee()
{
$this->atkNode("employee");
$this->add(new atkAttribute("id", AF_AUTOKEY));
$this->add(new atkAttribute("firstname"));
$this->add(new atkAttribute("lastname", AF_SEARCHABLE|AF_OBLIGATORY));
$this->add(new atkDateAttribute("hiredate"));

$this->setTable("employee");
}
}

?>
</pre>
