many() ¶ public
many(array $data, array $options = []): arrayHydrate many entities and their associated data.
Options:
- associated: Associations listed here will be marshalled as well.
- fieldList: A whitelist of fields to be assigned to the entity. If not present, the accessible fields list in the entity will be used.
- accessibleFields: A list of fields to allow or deny in entity accessible fields.

-
array$data The data to hydrate.

Returns
arraySee Also
merge() ¶ public
merge(Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity, array $data, array $options = []): Cake\Datasource\EntityInterfaceMerges $data into $entity and recursively does the same for each one of
the association names passed in $options. When merging associations, if an
entity is not present in the parent entity for a given association, a new one
will be created.
When merging HasMany or BelongsToMany associations, all the entities in the
$data array will appear, those that can be matched by primary key will get
the data merged, but those that cannot, will be discarded.
Options:
- associated: Associations listed here will be marshalled as well.
- validate: Whether or not to validate data before hydrating the entities. Can also be set to a string to use a specific validator. Defaults to true/default.
- fieldList: A whitelist of fields to be assigned to the entity. If not present the accessible fields list in the entity will be used.
- accessibleFields: A list of fields to allow or deny in entity accessible fields.
Parameters
-
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface$entity the entity that will get the data merged in
-
array$data key value list of fields to be merged into the entity
-
array$options optional List of options.
Returns
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterfacemergeMany() ¶ public
mergeMany(arrayTraversable $entities, array $data, array $options = []): arrayMerges each of the elements from $data into each of the entities in $entities
and recursively does the same for each of the association names passed in
$options. When merging associations, if an entity is not present in the parent
entity for a given association, a new one will be created.
Records in $data are matched against the entities using the primary key
column. Entries in $entities that cannot be matched to any record in
$data will be discarded. Records in $data that could not be matched will
be marshalled as a new entity.
When merging HasMany or BelongsToMany associations, all the entities in the
$data array will appear, those that can be matched by primary key will get
the data merged, but those that cannot, will be discarded.
Options:
- associated: Associations listed here will be marshalled as well.
- fieldList: A whitelist of fields to be assigned to the entity. If not present, the accessible fields list in the entity will be used.
- accessibleFields: A list of fields to allow or deny in entity accessible fields.
Parameters
-
arrayTraversable$entities the entities that will get the data merged in
-
array$data list of arrays to be merged into the entities
-
array$options optional List of options.
Returns
arrayone() ¶ public
one(array $data, array $options = []): Cake\ORM\EntityHydrate one entity and its associated data.
Options:
- associated: Associations listed here will be marshalled as well.
- fieldList: A whitelist of fields to be assigned to the entity. If not present, the accessible fields list in the entity will be used.
- accessibleFields: A list of fields to allow or deny in entity accessible fields.
Parameters
-
array$data The data to hydrate.
-
