Parameters
- 
     string|null $aliasoptional null
- the new table alias
Returns
stringstring
deletesource public
delete( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity , array|ArrayAccess $options [] )Delete a single entity.
Deletes an entity and possibly related associations from the database based on the 'dependent' option used when defining the association.
Parameters
- Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface- $entity
- The entity to remove.
- 
     array|ArrayAccess $optionsoptional []
- The options for the delete.
Returns
booleansuccess
deleteAllsource public
deleteAll( mixed $conditions )Delete all matching records.
Deletes all records matching the provided conditions.
This method will not trigger beforeDelete/afterDelete events. If you need those first load a collection of records and delete them.
This method will not execute on associations' cascade attribute. You should use database foreign keys + ON CASCADE rules if you need cascading deletes combined with this method.
Parameters
- 
     mixed $conditions
- Conditions to be used, accepts anything Query::where() can take.
Returns
integerCount Returns the affected rows.
See
Cake\Datasource\RepositoryInterface::delete()existssource public
exists( array|ArrayAccess $conditions )Returns true if there is any record in this repository matching the specified conditions.
Parameters
- 
     array|ArrayAccess $conditions
- list of conditions to pass to the query
Returns
booleanbool
findsource public
find( string $type 'all' , array|ArrayAccess $options [] )Creates a new Query for this repository and applies some defaults based on the type of search that was selected.
Model.beforeFind event
Each find() will trigger a Model.beforeFind event for all attached listeners. Any listener can set a valid result set using $query
Parameters
- 
     string $typeoptional 'all'
- the type of query to perform
- 
     array|ArrayAccess $optionsoptional []
- An array that will be passed to Query::applyOptions()
Returns
Cake\ORM\Query\Cake\ORM\Query
getsource public
get( mixed $primaryKey , array|ArrayAccess $options [] )Returns a single record after finding it by its primary key, if no record is found this method throws an exception.
Example:
$id = 10;
$article = $articles->get($id);
$article = $articles->get($id, ['contain' => ['Comments]]);
Parameters
- 
     mixed $primaryKey
- primary key value to find
- 
     array|ArrayAccess $optionsoptional []
- 
     options accepted by Table::find()
Returns
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface
Throws
Cake\Datasource\Exception\RecordNotFoundExceptionif the record with such id could not be found
See
Cake\Datasource\RepositoryInterface::find()hasFieldsource public
hasField( string $field )Test to see if a Repository has a specific field/column.
Parameters
- 
     string $field
- The field to check for.
Returns
booleanTrue if the field exists, false if it does not.
newEntitiessource public
newEntities( array $data , array $options [] )Create a list of entities + associated entities from an array.
This is most useful when hydrating request data back into entities. For example, in your controller code:
$articles = $this->Articles->newEntities($this->request->data());
The hydrated entities can then be iterated and saved.
Parameters
- 
     array $data
- The data to build an entity with.
- 
     array $optionsoptional []
- A list of options for the objects hydration.
Returns
arrayAn array of hydrated records.
newEntitysource public
newEntity( array|null $data null , array $options [] )Create a new entity + associated entities from an array.
This is most useful when hydrating request data back into entities. For example, in your controller code:
$article = $this->Articles->newEntity($this->request->data());
The hydrated entity will correctly do an insert/update based on the primary key data existing in the database when the entity is saved. Until the entity is saved, it will be a detached record.
Parameters
- 
     array|null $dataoptional null
- The data to build an entity with.
- 
     array $optionsoptional []
- A list of options for the object hydration.
Returns
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface
patchEntitiessource public
patchEntities( array|Traversable $entities , array $data , array $options [] )Merges each of the elements passed in $data into the entities found in $entities respecting the accessible fields configured on the entities. Merging is done by matching the primary key in each of the elements in $data and $entities.
This is most useful when editing a list of existing entities using request data:
$article = $this->Articles->patchEntities($articles, $this->request->data());
Parameters
- 
     array|Traversable $entities
- the entities that will get the data merged in
- 
     array $data
- list of arrays to be merged into the entities
- 
     array $optionsoptional []
- A list of options for the objects hydration.
Returns
arrayarray
patchEntitysource public
patchEntity( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity , array $data , array $options [] )Merges the passed $data into $entity respecting the accessible fields configured on the entity. Returns the same entity after being altered.
This is most useful when editing an existing entity using request data:
$article = $this->Articles->patchEntity($article, $this->request->data());
Parameters
- Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface- $entity
- the entity that will get the data merged in
- 
     array $data
- key value list of fields to be merged into the entity
- 
     array $optionsoptional []
- A list of options for the object hydration.
Returns
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface
querysource public
query( )Creates a new Query instance for this repository
Returns
Cake\ORM\Query\Cake\ORM\Query
savesource public
save( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity , array|ArrayAccess $options [] )Persists an entity based on the fields that are marked as dirty and returns the same entity after a successful save or false in case of any error.
Parameters
- Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface- $entity
- the entity to be saved
- 
     array|ArrayAccess $optionsoptional []

Returns
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface|boolean\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface|bool
updateAllsource public
updateAll( array $fields , mixed $conditions )Update all matching records.
Sets the $fields to the provided values based on $conditions. This method will not trigger beforeSave/afterSave events. If you need those first load a collection of records and update them.
