public function AccessResult::orIf

public AccessResult::orIf(AccessResultInterface $other)

Combine this access result with another using OR.

When OR-ing two access results, the result is:

• isForbidden() in either ⇒ isForbidden()
• otherwise if isAllowed() in either ⇒ isAllowed()
• otherwise both must be isNeutral() ⇒ isNeutral()

Truth table:

  |A N F
--+-----
A |A A F
N |A N F
F |F F F

Parameters

\Drupal\Core\Access\AccessResultInterface $other: The other access result to OR this one with.

Return value

static

Overrides AccessResultInterface::orIf

File

core/lib/Drupal/Core/Access/AccessResult.php, line 282

Class

AccessResult

Value object for passing an access result with cacheability metadata.

Namespace

Drupal\Core\Access

Code

public function orIf(AccessResultInterface $other) {
  $merge_other = FALSE;
  // $other's cacheability metadata is merged if $merge_other gets set to TRUE
  // and this happens in three cases:
  // 1. $other's access result is the one that determines the combined access
  //    result.
  // 2. This access result is not cacheable and $other's access result is the
  //    same. i.e. attempt to return a cacheable access result.
  // 3. Neither access result is 'forbidden' and both are cacheable: inherit
  //    the other's cacheability metadata because it may turn into a
  //    'forbidden' for another value of the cache contexts in the
  //    cacheability metadata. In other words: this is necessary to respect
  //    the contagious nature of the 'forbidden' access result.
  //    e.g. we have two access results A and B. Neither is forbidden. A is
  //    globally cacheable (no cache contexts). B is cacheable per role. If we
  //    don't have merging case 3, then A->orIf(B) will be globally cacheable,
  //    which means that even if a user of a different role logs in, the
  //    cached access result will be used, even though for that other role, B
  //    is forbidden!
