Method Detail
alias() ¶ public static
alias(string $alias, string $source): void
Set one or more connection aliases.
Connection aliases allow you to rename active connections without overwriting the aliased connection. This is most useful in the test-suite for replacing connections with their test variant.
Defined aliases will take precedence over normal connection names. For example, if you alias 'default' to 'test', fetching 'default' will always return the 'test' connection as long as the alias is defined.
You can remove aliases with ConnectionManager::dropAlias().
Usage
// Make 'things' resolve to 'test_things' connection
ConnectionManager::alias('test_things', 'things');
Parameters
-
string
$alias The alias to add. Fetching $source will return $alias when loaded with get.
-
string
$source The connection to add an alias to.
Returns
void
Throws
Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigException
When aliasing a connection that does not exist.
config() ¶ public static
config(string|array $key, array|null $config = null): array|null
This method can be used to define configuration adapters for an application or read existing configuration.
To change an adapter's configuration at runtime, first drop the adapter and then reconfigure it.
Adapters will not be constructed until the first operation is done.
Usage
Assuming that the class' name is Cache
the following scenarios
are supported:
Reading config data back:
Cache::config('default');
Setting a cache engine up.
Cache::config('default', $settings);
Injecting a constructed adapter in:
Cache::config('default', $instance);
Configure multiple adapters at once:
Cache::config($arrayOfConfig);
Parameters
-
string|array
$key The name of the configuration, or an array of multiple configs.
-
array|null
$config optional An array of name => configuration data for adapter.
Returns
array|null
Throws
BadMethodCallException
When trying to modify an existing config.
configured() ¶ public static
configured(): string[]
Returns an array containing the named configurations
Returns
string[]
drop() ¶ public static
drop(string $config): bool
Drops a constructed adapter.
If you wish to modify an existing configuration, you should drop it, change configuration and then re-add it.
If the implementing objects supports a $_registry
object the named configuration
will also be unloaded from the registry.
Parameters
-
string
$config An existing configuration you wish to remove.
Returns
bool
dropAlias() ¶ public static
dropAlias(string $name): void
Drop an alias.
Removes an alias from ConnectionManager. Fetching the aliased connection may fail if there is no other connection with that name.
Parameters
-
string
$name The connection name to remove aliases for.
Returns
void
dsnClassMap() ¶ public static
dsnClassMap(array|null $map = null): array
Returns or updates the DSN class map for this class.
Parameters
-
array|null
$map optional Additions/edits to the class map to apply.
Returns
array
get() ¶ public static
get(string $name, bool $useAliases = true): Cake\Datasource\ConnectionInterface
Get a connection.
If the connection has not been constructed an instance will be added
to the registry. This method will use any aliases that have been
defined. If you want the original unaliased connections pass false
as second parameter.
Parameters
-
string
$name The connection name.
-
bool
$useAliases optional Set to false to not use aliased connections.
Returns
Cake\Datasource\ConnectionInterface
Throws
Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigException
When config data is missing.
getConfig() ¶ public static
getConfig(string $key): array|null
Reads existing configuration.
Parameters
-
string
$key The name of the configuration.
Returns
array|null
getDsnClassMap() ¶ public static
getDsnClassMap(): array
Returns the DSN class map for this class.
Returns
array
parseDsn() ¶ public static
parseDsn(string|null $config = null): array
Parses a DSN into a valid connection configuration
This method allows setting a DSN using formatting similar to that used by PEAR::DB. The following is an example of its usage:
$dsn = 'mysql://user:pass@localhost/database';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);
$dsn = 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql://localhost:3306/database?className=Cake\Database\Connection';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);
$dsn = 'Cake\Database\Connection://localhost:3306/database?driver=Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);
For all classes, the value of scheme
is set as the value of both the className
and driver
unless they have been otherwise specified.
Note that query-string arguments are also parsed and set as values in the returned configuration.
Parameters
-
string|null
$config optional The DSN string to convert to a configuration array
Returns
array
setConfig() ¶ public static
setConfig(string|array $key, array $config = null): void
Configure a new connection object.
The connection will not be constructed until it is first used.
Parameters
-
string|array
$key The name of the connection config, or an array of multiple configs.
-
array
$config optional An array of name => config data for adapter.
Returns
void
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
When trying to modify an existing config.

Parameters
-

$map Additions/edits to the class map to apply.
Returns
void
