Parameters

Cake\ORM\Marshaller $marshaller
array $map
array $options

Returns

array

bundleTranslatedFields() ¶ protected

Parameters

Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity: Entity.

Returns

void

configShallow() ¶ public

configShallow(string|array $key, mixed|null $value = null): $this

Merge 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->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['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

$this

getConfig() ¶ public

getConfig(string|null $key = null, mixed $default = null): mixed

Returns the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

Parameters

string|null $key optional: The key to get or null for the whole config.
mixed $default optional: The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns

mixed

getConfigOrFail() ¶ public

getConfigOrFail(string $key): mixed

Returns the config for this specific key.

The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.

Parameters

string $key: The key to get.

Returns

mixed

Throws

InvalidArgumentException

getLocale() ¶ public

getLocale(): string

Returns the current locale.

If no locale has been explicitly set via setLocale(), this method will return the currently configured global locale.

Returns

string

Returns

Cake\Collection\CollectionInterface

iterateClause() ¶ protected

iterateClause(Cake\ORM\Query $query, string $name = '', array $config = []): bool

array $config optional: The config to use for adding fields.

Returns

bool

mainFields() ¶ protected

string $locale: Locale string

Returns

Cake\Collection\CollectionInterface

setConfig() ¶ public

setConfig(string|array $key, mixed|null $value = null, bool $merge = true): $this

Sets the config.

Usage

Setting a specific value:

$this->setConfig('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

When trying to set a key that is invalid.

setLocale() ¶ public

setLocale(string|null $locale): $this

Sets the locale to be used.

When fetching records, the content for the locale set via this method, and likewise when saving data, it will save the data in that locale.

Note that in case an entity has a _locale property set, that locale will win over the locale set via this method (and over the globally configured one for that matter)!

Parameters

string|null $locale: The locale to use for fetching and saving records. Pass null in order to unset the current locale, and to make the behavior fall back to using the globally configured locale.

Returns

$this

setTableLocator() ¶ public

setTableLocator(Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator): $this

Sets the table locator.

Parameters

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator: LocatorInterface instance.

Returns

$this

setupAssociations() ¶ protected

setupAssociations(): void

Create a hasMany association for all records.

Don't create a hasOne association here as the join conditions are modified in before find - so create/modify it there.

Returns

void

setupHasOneAssociation() ¶ protected

setupHasOneAssociation(string $locale, ArrayObject $options): void

Create a hasOne association for record with required locale.

Parameters

string $locale: Locale
ArrayObject $options: Find options

Returns

void

translatedFields() ¶ protected

translatedFields(): array

Lazy define and return the translation table fields.

Returns

array

translationField() ¶ public

If the requested field is configured as a translation field, field with an alias of a corresponding association is returned. Table-aliased field name is returned for all other fields.

Parameters

string $field: Field name to be aliased.

Returns

string

traverseClause() ¶ protected

traverseClause(Cake\ORM\Query $query, string $name = '', array $config = []): bool

Traverse over a clause to alias fields.

The objective here is to transparently prevent ambiguous field errors by prefixing fields with the appropriate table alias. This method currently expects to receive a where clause only.

Parameters

Cake\ORM\Query $query: the query to check.
string $name optional: The clause name.
array $config optional: The config to use for adding fields.

Returns

bool

unsetEmptyFields() ¶ protected

unsetEmptyFields(Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity): void

Unset empty translations to avoid persistence.

Should only be called if $this->_config['allowEmptyTranslations'] is false.

Parameters
