Method Detail

__construct() public

__construct(Cake\ORM\Table|null $table = null)

Constructor

Parameters

Cake\ORM\Table|null $table optional: The table this registry is attached to.

__debugInfo() public

__debugInfo(): array<string, mixed>

Debug friendly object properties.

Returns

array<string, mixed>

__get() public

__get(string $name): object|null

Provide public read access to the loaded objects

Parameters

string $name: Name of property to read

Returns

object|null

__isset() public

__isset(string $name): bool

Provide isset access to _loaded

Parameters

string $name: Name of object being checked.

Returns

bool

__set() public

__set(string $name, object $object): void

Sets an object.

Parameters

string $name: Name of a property to set.
object $object: Object to set.

Returns

void

__unset() public

__unset(string $name): void

Unsets an object.

Parameters

string $name: Name of a property to unset.

Returns

void

_checkDuplicate() protected

_checkDuplicate(string $name, array<string, mixed> $config): void

Check for duplicate object loading.

If a duplicate is being loaded and has different configuration, that is bad and an exception will be raised.

An exception is raised, as replacing the object will not update any references other objects may have. Additionally, simply updating the runtime configuration is not a good option as we may be missing important constructor logic dependent on the configuration.

Parameters

string $name: The name of the alias in the registry.
array<string, mixed> $config: The config data for the new instance.

Returns

void

Throws

RuntimeException
When a duplicate is found.

_create() protected

_create(object|string $class, string $alias, array<string, mixed> $config): Cake\ORM\Behavior

Create the behavior instance.

Part of the template method for Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load() Enabled behaviors will be registered with the event manager.

Parameters

object|string $class: The classname that is missing.
string $alias: The alias of the object.
array<string, mixed> $config: An array of config to use for the behavior.

Returns

Cake\ORM\Behavior

_getMethods() protected

_getMethods(Cake\ORM\Behavior $instance, string $class, string $alias): array

Get the behavior methods and ensure there are no duplicates.

Use the implementedEvents() method to exclude callback methods. Methods starting with _ will be ignored, as will methods declared on Cake\ORM\Behavior

Parameters

Cake\ORM\Behavior $instance: The behavior to get methods from.
string $class: The classname that is missing.
string $alias: The alias of the object.

Returns

array

Throws

LogicException
when duplicate methods are connected.

_resolveClassName() protected

_resolveClassName(string $class): string|null

Resolve a behavior classname.

Part of the template method for Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load()

Parameters

string $class: Partial classname to resolve.

Returns

string|null

_throwMissingClassError() protected

_throwMissingClassError(string $class, string|null $plugin): void

Throws an exception when a behavior is missing.

Part of the template method for Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load() and Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::unload()

Parameters

string $class: The classname that is missing.
string|null $plugin: The plugin the behavior is missing in.

Returns

void

Throws

Cake\ORM\Exception\MissingBehaviorException

callFinder() public

callFinder(string $type, array $args = []): Cake\ORM\Query

Invoke a finder on a behavior.

Parameters

string $type: The finder type to invoke.
array $args optional: The arguments you want to invoke the method with.

Returns

Cake\ORM\Query

dispatchEvent() public

dispatchEvent(string $name, array|null $data = null, object|null $subject = null): Cake\Event\EventInterface

Wrapper for creating and dispatching events.

Returns a dispatched event.

Parameters

string $name: Name of the event.
array|null $data optional: Any value you wish to be transported with this event to it can be read by listeners.
object|null $subject optional: The object that this event applies to ($this by default).

Returns

Cake\Event\EventInterface

get() public

get(string $name): object

Get loaded object instance.

Parameters

string $name: Name of object.

Returns

object

Throws

RuntimeException
If not loaded or found.

getEventManager() public

getEventManager(): Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface

Returns the Cake\Event\EventManager manager instance for this object.

You can use this instance to register any new listeners or callbacks to the object events, or create your own events and trigger them at will.

Returns

Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface

getIterator() public

getIterator(): Traversable

Returns an array iterator.

Returns

Traversable

has() public

has(string $name): bool

Check whether a given object is loaded.

Parameters

string $name: The object name to check for.

Returns

bool

hasFinder() public

hasFinder(string $method): bool

Check if any loaded behavior implements the named finder.

Will return true if any behavior provides a public method with the chosen name.

Parameters

string $method: The method to check for.

Returns

bool

hasMethod() public

hasMethod(string $method): bool

Check if any loaded behavior implements a method.

Will return true if any behavior provides a public non-finder method with the chosen name.

Parameters

string $method: The method to check for.

Returns

bool

load() public

load(string $name, array<string, mixed> $config = []): mixed

Loads/constructs an object instance.

Will return the instance in the registry if it already exists. If a subclass provides event support, you can use $config['enabled'] = false to exclude constructed objects from being registered for events.

Using {@link \Cake\Controller\Component::$components} as an example. You can alias an object by setting the 'className' key, i.e.,

protected $components = [
  'Email' => [
    'className' => 'App\Controller\Component\AliasedEmailComponent'
  ];
];

All calls to the Email component would use AliasedEmail instead.

Parameters

string $name: The name/class of the object to load.
array<string, mixed> $config optional: Additional settings to use when loading the object.

Returns

mixed

Throws

Exception
If the class cannot be found.

Set an object directly into the registry by name.

If this collection implements events, the passed object will be attached into the event manager

Returns

$this

setEventManager() public

setEventManager(Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface $eventManager): $this

Returns

$this
