Method Detail
__construct() ¶ public
__construct(array $config = [])Constructor.
Parameters
- 
                array$config optional
- Settings for the filter. 
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\ExceptionWhen 'when' conditions are not callable.
_configDelete() ¶ protected
_configDelete(string $key): voidDelete a single config key
Parameters
- 
                string$key
- Key to delete. 
Returns
voidThrows
Cake\Core\Exception\Exceptionif attempting to clobber existing config
_configRead() ¶ protected
_configRead(string|null $key): mixedRead a config variable
Parameters
- 
                string|null$key
- Key to read. 
Returns
mixed_configWrite() ¶ protected
_configWrite(string|array $key, mixed $value, bool|string $merge = false): voidWrite a config variable
Parameters
- 
                string|array$key
- Key to write to. 
- 
                mixed$value
- Value to write. 
- 
                bool|string$merge optional
- True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false. 
Returns
voidThrows
Cake\Core\Exception\Exceptionif attempting to clobber existing config
afterDispatch() ¶ public
afterDispatch(Cake\Event\Event $event): voidMethod called after the controller served a request and generated a response. It is possible to alter the response object at this point as it is not sent to the client yet.
If false is returned, the event will be stopped and no more listeners will be notified.
Alternatively you can call $event->stopPropagation() to achieve the same result.
Parameters
- 
                Cake\Event\Event$event
- container object having the - requestand- responsekeys in the data property.
Returns
voidbeforeDispatch() ¶ public
beforeDispatch(Cake\Event\Event $event): voidInspects the request for the Accept-Language header and sets the Locale for the current runtime if it matches the list of valid locales as passed in the configuration.
If a Cake\Network\Response object instance is returned, it will be served at the end of the event cycle, not calling any controller as a result. This will also have the effect of not calling the after event in the dispatcher.
If false is returned, the event will be stopped and no more listeners will be notified.
Alternatively you can call $event->stopPropagation() to achieve the same result.
Parameters
- 
                Cake\Event\Event$event
- The event instance. 
Returns
voidconfig() ¶ public
config(string|array|null $key = null, mixed|null $value = null, bool $merge = true): mixedUsage
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:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);Parameters
- 
                string|array|null$key optional
- The key to get/set, or a complete array of configs. 
- 
                mixed|null$value optional
- The value to set. 
- 
                bool$merge optional
- Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true. 
Returns
mixedConfig value being read, or the object itself on write operations.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\ExceptionWhen trying to set a key that is invalid.
configShallow() ¶ public
configShallow(string|array $key, mixed|null $value = null): $thisMerge 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:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);Parameters
- 
                string|array$key
- The key to set, or a complete array of configs. 
- 
                mixed|null$value optional
- The value to set. 
Returns
$thisThe object itself.
handle() ¶ public
handle(Cake\Event\Event $event): mixedHandler method that applies conditions and resolves the correct method to call.
Parameters
- 
                Cake\Event\Event$event
- The event instance. 
Returns
mixedimplementedEvents() ¶ public
implementedEvents(): arrayReturns the list of events this filter listens to.
Dispatcher notifies 2 different events Dispatcher.before and Dispatcher.after.
By default this class will attach preDispatch and postDispatch method respectively.
Override this method at will to only listen to the events you are interested in.
Returns
arraymatches() ¶ public
matches(Cake\Event\Event $event): boolCheck to see if the incoming request matches this filter's criteria.
Parameters
- 
                Cake\Event\Event$event
- The event to match. 
Returns
