Method Detail
__construct() ¶ public
__construct(Cake\Controller\Controller|null $controller = null)Constructor.
Parameters
- 
                Cake\Controller\Controller|null$controller optional
- Controller instance. 
__get() ¶ public
__get(string $name): object|nullProvide public read access to the loaded objects
Parameters
- 
                string$name
- Name of property to read 
Returns
object|null__isset() ¶ public
__isset(string $name): boolProvide isset access to _loaded
Parameters
- 
                string$name
- Name of object being checked. 
Returns
bool__set() ¶ public
__set(string $name, object $object): voidSets an object.
Parameters
- 
                string$name
- Name of a property to set. 
- 
                object$object

Returns
void_checkDuplicate() ¶ protected
_checkDuplicate(string $name, array $config): voidCheck for duplicate object loading.
If a duplicate is being loaded and has different configuration, that is bad and an exception will be raised.
An exception is raised, as replacing the object will not update any references other objects may have. Additionally, simply updating the runtime configuration is not a good option as we may be missing important constructor logic dependent on the configuration.
Parameters
- 
                string$name
- The name of the alias in the registry. 
- 
                array$config
- The config data for the new instance. 
Returns
voidThrows
RuntimeExceptionWhen a duplicate is found.
_create() ¶ protected

- 
                string$alias
- The alias of the component. 
- 
                array$config
- An array of config to use for the component. 
Returns
Cake\Controller\ComponentThe constructed component class.
_resolveClassName() ¶ protected
_resolveClassName(string $class): string|nullResolve a component classname.
Part of the template method for Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load()
Parameters
- 
                string$class
- Partial classname to resolve. 
Returns
string|nullEither the correct class name or null.
_throwMissingClassError() ¶ protected
_throwMissingClassError(string $class, string|null $plugin): voidThrows an exception when a component is missing.
Part of the template method for Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load() and Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::unload()
Parameters

                string$class
- The classname that is missing. 
- 
                string|null$plugin

- 
                object|null$subject optional
- The object that this event applies to ($this by default). 
Returns
Cake\Event\EventInterfaceget() ¶ public
get(string $name): objectGet loaded object instance.

- Name of object. 
Returns
objectObject instance.
Throws
RuntimeExceptionIf not loaded or found.
getController() ¶ public
getController(): Cake\Controller\ControllerGet the controller associated with the collection.
Returns
Cake\Controller\ControllerController instance or null if not set.
getEventManager() ¶ public
getEventManager(): Cake\Event\EventManagerInterfaceReturns the Cake\Event\EventManager manager instance for this object.

Parameters
- 
                string$name

boolTrue is object is loaded else false.
load() ¶ public
load(string $name, array $config = []): mixedLoads/constructs an object instance.
Will return the instance in the registry if it already exists.
If a subclass provides event support, you can use $config['enabled'] = false
to exclude constructed objects from being registered for events.
Using Cake\Controller\Controller::$components as an example. You can alias an object by setting the 'className' key, i.e.,
protected $components = [
  'Email' => [
    'className' => 'App\Controller\Component\AliasedEmailComponent'
  ];
];All calls to the Email component would use AliasedEmail instead.
