clearsource public

clear( )

Clears the registry of configuration and instances.

Implementation of

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::clear()

configsource public

config( string|null $alias null , array|null $options null )

Stores a list of options to be used when instantiating an object with a matching alias.

The options that can be stored are those that are recognized by get() If second argument is omitted, it will return the current settings for $alias.

If no arguments are passed it will return the full configuration array for all aliases

Parameters

string|null $alias optional null

Name of the alias

array|null $options optional null

list of options for the alias

Returns

array
The config data.

Throws

RuntimeException
When you attempt to configure an existing table instance.

Implementation of

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::config()

existssource public

exists( string $alias )

Check to see if an instance exists in the registry.

Parameters

string $alias

The alias to check for.

Returns

boolean
bool

Implementation of

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::exists()

genericInstancessource public

genericInstances( )

Returns the list of tables that were created by this registry that could not be instantiated from a specific subclass. This method is useful for debugging common mistakes when setting up associations or created new table classes.

Returns

array
array

getsource public

get( string $alias , array $options [] )

Get a table instance from the registry.

Tables are only created once until the registry is flushed. This means that aliases must be unique across your application. This is important because table associations are resolved at runtime and cyclic references need to be handled correctly.

The options that can be passed are the same as in Table::__construct(), but the key className is also recognized.

If $options does not contain className CakePHP will attempt to construct the class name based on the alias. For example 'Users' would result in App\Model\Table\UsersTable being attempted. If this class does not exist, then the default Cake\ORM\Table class will be used. By setting the className option you can define the specific class to use. This className can use a plugin short class reference.

If you use a $name that uses plugin syntax only the name part will be used as key in the registry. This means that if two plugins, or a plugin and app provide the same alias, the registry will only store the first instance.

If no table option is passed, the table name will be the underscored version of the provided $alias.

If no connection option is passed the table's defaultConnectionName() method will be called to get the default connection name to use.

Parameters

string $alias

The alias name you want to get.

array $options optional []

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

Returns

Cake\ORM\Table
\Cake\ORM\Table

Throws

RuntimeException
When you try to configure an alias that already exists.

Implementation of

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::get()

removesource public

remove( string $alias )

Removes an instance from the registry.

Parameters

Implementation of

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface::remove()

setsource public

set( string $alias , Cake\ORM\Table $object )

Set an instance.

Parameters

string $alias

The alias to set.

Cake\ORM\Table $object

The table to set.

Returns
