Class StringType
String type converter.
Use to convert string data between PHP and the database types.
Property Summary
-
$_basicTypes protected static deprecated
arrayList of basic type mappings, used to avoid having to instantiate a class for doing conversion on these
-
$_builtTypes protected static
arrayContains a map of type object instances to be reused if needed
-
$_name protected
stringIdentifier name for this type
-
$_types protected static
arrayList of supported database types. A human readable identifier is used as key and a complete namespaced class name as value representing the class that will do actual type conversions.
Method Summary
-
__construct() public
Constructor
-
_basicTypeCast() protected deprecated
Checks whether this type is a basic one and can be converted using a callback If it is, returns converted value
-
boolval() public static deprecated
Type converter for boolean values.
-
build() public static
Returns a Type object capable of converting a type identified by $name
-
clear() public static
Clears out all created instances and mapped types classes, useful for testing
-
getBaseType() public
Returns the base type name that this class is inheriting. This is useful when extending base type for adding extra functionality but still want the rest of the framework to use the same assumptions it would do about the base type it inherits from.
-
getName() public
Returns type identifier name for this object
-
map() public static
Registers a new type identifier and maps it to a fully namespaced classname, If called with no arguments it will return current types map array If $className is omitted it will return mapped class for $type
-
marshal() public
Marshalls request data into PHP strings.
-
newId() public
Generate a new primary key value for a given type.
-
set() public static
Returns a Type object capable of converting a type identified by $name
-
strval() public static deprecated
Type converter for string values.
-
toDatabase() public
Convert string data into the database format.
-
toPHP() public
Convert string values to PHP strings.
-
toStatement() public
Get the correct PDO binding type for string data.

Parameters
-
mixed$value value to be converted to PHP equivalent
Returns
mixedboolval() ¶ public static
boolval(mixed $value): boolType converter for boolean values.
Will convert string true/false into booleans.
Parameters
-
mixed$value The value to convert to a boolean.
Returns
boolbuild() ¶ public static
build(string $name): TypeReturns a Type object capable of converting a type identified by $name
Parameters
-
string$name type identifier
Returns
TypeThrows
InvalidArgumentExceptionIf type identifier is unknown
clear() ¶ public static
clear(): voidClears out all created instances and mapped types classes, useful for testing
Returns
voidgetBaseType() ¶ public
getBaseType(): stringReturns the base type name that this class is inheriting. This is useful when extending base type for adding extra functionality but still want the rest of the framework to use the same assumptions it would do about the base type it inherits from.
Returns
stringmap() ¶ public static
map(string|array|Cake\Database\Type|null $type = null, string|null $className = null): array|string|nullRegisters a new type identifier and maps it to a fully namespaced classname, If called with no arguments it will return current types map array If $className is omitted it will return mapped class for $type
Parameters
-
string|array|Cake\Database\Type|null$type optional if string name of type to map, if array list of arrays to be mapped
-
string|null$className optional The classname to register.
Returns
array|string|nullmarshal() ¶ public
marshal(mixed $value): string|nullMarshalls request data into PHP strings.
Most useful for converting request data into PHP objects that make sense for the rest of the ORM/Database layers.
Parameters
-
mixed$value The value to convert.
Returns
string|nullnewId() ¶ public
newId(): mixedGenerate a new primary key value for a given type.
This method can be used by types to create new primary key values when entities are inserted.
Returns
mixedSee Also
