Base class for an individual Component. Components provide reusable bits of controller logic that can be composed into a controller. Components also provide request life-cycle callbacks for injecting logic at specific points.
Like Controller and Table, this class has an initialize() hook that you can use to add custom 'constructor' logic. It is important to remember that each request (and sub-request) will only make one instance of any given component.
Components can provide several callbacks that are fired at various stages of the request cycle. The available callbacks are:
beforeFilter(Event $event)
Called before the controller's beforeFilter method by default.startup(Event $event)
Called after the controller's beforeFilter method, and before the controller action is called.beforeRender(Event $event)
Called before the Controller beforeRender, and before the view class is loaded.shutdown(Event $event)
Called after the action is complete and the view has been rendered but before Controller::afterFilter().beforeRedirect(Event $event $url, Response $response)
Called before a redirect is done. Allows you to change the URL that will be redirected to by returning a Response instance with new URL set using Response::location(). Redirection can be prevented by stopping the event propagation.While the controller is not an explicit argument for the callback methods it is the subject of each event and can be fetched using Event::getSubject().

public array
$request

public Cake\Network\Response
Returns an array that can be used to describe the internal state of this object.
__construct( Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry $registry , array $config [] )
Constructor
Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry
$registry
$config
optional [] __debugInfo( )
Returns an array that can be used to describe the internal state of this object.
__get( string $name )
Magic method for lazy loading $components.
$name
getController( )
Get the controller this component is bound to.
Cake\Controller\Controller
implementedEvents( )
Get the Controller callbacks this Component is interested in.
Uses Conventions to map controller events to standard component callback method names. By defining one of the callback methods a component is assumed to be interested in the related event.
Override this method if you need to add non-conventional event listeners. Or if you want components to listen to non-standard events.
Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents()
initialize( array $config )
Constructor hook method.
Implement this method to avoid having to overwrite the constructor and call parent.
$config
_configDelete( string $key )
Deletes a single config key.
$key
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
_configRead( string|null $key )
Reads a config key.
$key
_configWrite( string|array $key , mixed $value , boolean|string $merge false )
Writes a config key.
$key
$value
$merge
optional false True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false.
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
config( string|array|null $key null , mixed|null $value null , boolean $merge true )
Gets/Sets the config.
Reading the whole config:
$this->config();
Reading a specific value:
$this->config('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key');
Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
$key
optional null $value
optional null $merge
optional true Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
configShallow( string|array $key , mixed|null $value null )
Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config()
which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
$key
$value
optional null getConfig( string|null $key null )
Returns the config.
Reading the whole config:
$this->getConfig();
Reading a specific value:
$this->getConfig('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');
$key
optional null setConfig( string|array $key , mixed|null $value null , boolean $merge true )
Sets the config.
Setting a specific value:
$this->setConfig('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
$key
$value
optional null $merge
optional true Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
log( mixed $msg , integer|string $level LogLevel::ERROR , string|array $context [] )
Convenience method to write a message to Log. See Log::write() for more information on writing to logs.
$msg
$level
optional LogLevel::ERROR $context
optional [] protected array
A component lookup table used to lazy load component objects.
[]
protected array
Default config
These are merged with user-provided config when the component is used.
[]
protected Cake\Controller\ComponentRegistry
Component registry class used to lazy load components.
public Cake\Http\ServerRequest
Request object
3.4.0 Storing references to the request is deprecated. Use Component::getController() or callback $event->getSubject() to access the controller & request instead.
public Cake\Network\Response
Response object
3.4.0 Storing references to the response is deprecated. Use Component::getController() or callback $event->getSubject() to access the controller & response instead.
