Class ClassRegistry
Class Collections.
A repository for class objects, each registered with a key. If you try to add an object with the same key twice, nothing will come of it. If you need a second instance of an object, give it another key.

Method Detail
_duplicate() protected ¶
_duplicate( string $alias , string $class )
Checks to see if $alias is a duplicate $class Object

config() public static ¶
config( string $type , array $param = array() )
Sets the default constructor parameter for an object type
Parameters
- string $type

getObject() public static ¶
getObject( string $key )
Return object which corresponds to given key.
Parameters

Returns
Object stored in registry or boolean false if the object does not exist.
init() public static ¶
init( string|array $class , boolean $strict = false )

Examples
Simple Use: Get a Post model instance ClassRegistry::init('Post');<pre>Expanded:array('class' => 'ClassName', 'alias' => 'AliasNameStoredInTheRegistry');```
Model Classes can accept optional <span class="php-keyword1">array</span>(<span class="php-quote">'id'</span> => <span class="php-var">$id</span>, <span class="php-quote">'table'</span> => <span class="php-var">$table</span>, <span class="php-quote">'ds'</span> => <span class="php-var">$ds</span>, <span class="php-quote">'alias'</span> => <span class="php-var">$alias</span>);
When $class is a numeric keyed array, multiple class instances will be stored in the registry, no instance of the object will be returned array( array('class' => 'ClassName', 'alias' => 'AliasNameStoredInTheRegistry'), array('class' => 'ClassName', 'alias' => 'AliasNameStoredInTheRegistry'), array('class' => 'ClassName', 'alias' => 'AliasNameStoredInTheRegistry') ); ```
Parameters
- string|array $class
as a string or a single key => value array instance will be created, stored in the registry and returned.
- boolean $strict optional false
if set to true it will return false if the class was not found instead of trying to create an AppModel
Returns
$class instance of ClassName.
