Class ShadowTableStrategy

This class provides a way to translate dynamic data by keeping translations in a separate shadow table where each row corresponds to a row of primary table.

Namespace: Cake\ORM\Behavior\Translate

Property Summary

  • $_config protected
    array<string, mixed>

    Runtime config

  • $_configInitialized protected
    bool

    Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

  • $_defaultConfig protected
    array<string, mixed>

    Default config

  • $_tableLocator protected
    Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface|null

    Table locator instance

  • $defaultTable protected
    string|null

    This object's default table alias.

  • $locale protected
    string|null

    The locale name that will be used to override fields in the bound table from the translations table

  • $table protected
    Cake\ORM\Table

    Table instance

  • $translationTable protected
    Cake\ORM\Table

    Instance of Table responsible for translating

Convenience method to get a table instance.

Parameters

string|null $alias optional

The alias name you want to get. Should be in CamelCase format. If null then the value of $defaultTable property is used.

array<string, mixed> $options optional

The options you want to build the table with. If a table has already been loaded the registry options will be ignored.

Returns

Cake\ORM\Table

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\CakeException
If `$alias` argument and `$defaultTable` property both are `null`.

Sets the locale to be used.

When fetching records, the content for the locale set via this method, and likewise when saving data, it will save the data in that locale.

Note that in case an entity has a _locale property set, that locale will win over the locale set via this method (and over the globally configured one for that matter)!

Parameters

string|null $locale

The locale to use for fetching and saving records. Pass null in order to unset the current locale, and to make the behavior fall back to using the globally configured locale.

Returns

$this

setTableLocator() public

Sets the table locator.

Parameters

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator

LocatorInterface instance.

Returns

$this

setupAssociations() protected

setupAssociations(): void

Create a hasMany association for all records.

Don't create a hasOne association here as the join conditions are modified in before find - so create/modify it there.

Create a hasOne association for record with required locale.

Parameters

string $locale

Locale

ArrayObject $options

If the requested field is configured as a translation field, field with an alias of a corresponding association is returned. Table-aliased field name is returned for all other fields.

Parameters

string $field

Field name to be aliased.

Returns

string

traverseClause() protected

traverseClause(Cake\ORM\Query $query, string $name = '', array<string, mixed> $config = []): bool

The objective here is to transparently prevent ambiguous field errors by prefixing fields with the appropriate table alias. This method currently expects to receive a where clause only.

Parameters

the query to check.

string $name optional

The clause name.

array<string, mixed> $config optional

The config to use for adding fields.

Returns

bool
