configShallow() public

¶

configShallow(mixed $key, mixed $value)

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value optional

The value to set.

Returns
$this

getConfig() public

¶

getConfig(?string $key, mixed $default)

Returns the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');
Parameters
string|null $key optional

The key to get or null for the whole config.

mixed $default optional

The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns
mixed

Configuration data at the named key or null if the key does not exist.

getConfigOrFail() public

¶

getConfigOrFail(string $key)

Returns the config for this specific key.

The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.

Parameters
string $key

The key to get.

Returns
mixed

Configuration data at the named key

Throws
InvalidArgumentException

getTable() public

¶

getTable()

Get the table instance this behavior is bound to.

Returns
\Cake\ORM\Table

The bound table instance.

handleEvent() public

¶

handleEvent(\Cake\Event\EventInterface $event, \Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity)

There is only one event handler, it can be configured to be called for any event

Parameters
\Cake\Event\EventInterface $event

Event instance.

\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity

Entity instance.

Returns
true

Returns true irrespective of the behavior logic, the save will not be prevented.

Throws
UnexpectedValueException
if a field's when value is misdefined
UnexpectedValueException
When the value for an event is not 'always', 'new' or 'existing'

implementedEvents() public

¶

implementedEvents()

implementedEvents

The implemented events of this behavior depend on configuration

Returns
array

implementedFinders() public

¶

implementedFinders()

implementedFinders

Provides an alias->methodname map of which finders a behavior implements. Example:

 [
   'this' => 'findThis',
   'alias' => 'findMethodName'
 ]

With the above example, a call to $table->find('this') will call $behavior->findThis() and a call to $table->find('alias') will call $behavior->findMethodName()

It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples

Returns
array
Throws
ReflectionException

implementedMethods() public

¶

implementedMethods()

implementedMethods

Provides an alias->methodname map of which methods a behavior implements. Example:

 [
   'method' => 'method',
   'aliasedMethod' => 'somethingElse'
 ]

With the above example, a call to $table->method() will call $behavior->method() and a call to $table->aliasedMethod() will call $behavior->somethingElse()

It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples

Returns
array
Throws
ReflectionException

initialize() public

¶

initialize(array $config)

Initialize hook

If events are specified - do not merge them with existing events, overwrite the events to listen on

Parameters
array $config

The config for this behavior.

setConfig() public

¶

setConfig(mixed $key, mixed $value, mixed $merge)

Sets the config.

Usage

Setting a specific value:

$this->setConfig('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value optional

The value to set.

bool $merge optional

Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.

Returns
$this
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
When trying to set a key that is invalid.

timestamp() public

¶

timestamp(?\DateTimeInterface $ts, bool $refreshTimestamp)

Get or set the timestamp to be used

Set the timestamp to the given DateTime object, or if not passed a new DateTime object If an explicit date time is passed, the config option refreshTimestamp is automatically set to false.

If true timestamp is refreshed.

Returns
\Cake\I18n\Time

touch() public

¶

touch(\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity, string $eventName)

Entity instance.

string $eventName optional

Event name.

Property Detail

$_config ¶ protected

Runtime config

Type
array

$_configInitialized ¶ protected

Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

Type
bool

$_defaultConfig ¶ protected

Default config

These are merged with user-provided config when the behavior is used.

events - an event-name keyed array of which fields to update, and when, for a given event possible values for when a field will be updated are "always", "new" or "existing", to set the field value always, only when a new record or only when an existing record.

refreshTimestamp - if true (the default) the timestamp used will be the current time when the code is executed, to set to an explicit date time value - set refreshTimetamp to false and call setTimestamp() on the behavior class before use.

Stores the reflected method + finder methods per class. This prevents reflecting the same class multiple times in a single process.
