Method Detail
alias() ¶ public static
alias(string $source, string $alias): voidSet one or more connection aliases.
Connection aliases allow you to rename active connections without overwriting the aliased connection. This is most useful in the test-suite for replacing connections with their test variant.
Defined aliases will take precedence over normal connection names. For example, if you alias 'default' to 'test', fetching 'default' will always return the 'test' connection as long as the alias is defined.
You can remove aliases with ConnectionManager::dropAlias().
Usage
// Make 'things' resolve to 'test_things' connection
ConnectionManager::alias('test_things', 'things');Parameters
-
string$source The existing connection to alias.
-
string$alias The alias name that resolves to
$source.
Returns
voidconfigured() ¶ public static
configured(): array<string>Returns an array containing the named configurations
Returns
array<string>drop() ¶ public static
drop(string $config): boolDrops 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
booldropAlias() ¶ public static
dropAlias(string $alias): voidDrop an alias.
Removes an alias from ConnectionManager. Fetching the aliased connection may fail if there is no other connection with that name.
Parameters
-
string$alias The connection alias to drop
Returns
voidget() ¶ public static
get(string $name, bool $useAliases = true): Cake\Datasource\ConnectionInterfaceGet a connection.
If the connection has not been constructed an instance will be added
to the registry. This method will use any aliases that have been
defined. If you want the original unaliased connections pass false
as second parameter.
Parameters
-
string$name The connection name.
-
bool$useAliases optional Set to false to not use aliased connections.
Returns
Cake\Datasource\ConnectionInterfaceThrows
Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigExceptionWhen config data is missing.
getConfig() ¶ public static
getConfig(string $key): mixed|nullReads existing configuration.
Parameters
-
string$key The name of the configuration.
Returns
mixed|nullgetConfigOrFail() ¶ public static
getConfigOrFail(string $key): mixedReads existing configuration for a specific key.
The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.
Parameters
-
string$key The name of the configuration.
Returns
mixedThrows
InvalidArgumentExceptionIf value does not exist.
getDsnClassMap() ¶ public static
getDsnClassMap(): array<string, string>Returns the DSN class map for this class.
Returns
array<string, string>parseDsn() ¶ public static
parseDsn(string $config): array<string, mixed>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$config The DSN string to convert to a configuration array
Returns
array<string, mixed>setConfig() ¶ public static
setConfig(array<string, mixed>|string $key, object|array<string, mixed>|null $config = null): voidConfigure a new connection object.
The connection will not be constructed until it is first used.
Parameters
-
array<string, mixed>|string$key The name of the connection config, or an array of multiple configs.
-
object|array<string, mixed>|null$config optional An array of name => config data for adapter.
Returns
voidThrows
Cake\Core\Exception\CakeExceptionWhen trying to modify an existing config.

setDsnClassMap() ¶ public static
setDsnClassMap(array<string, string> $map): voidUpdates the DSN class map for this class.
Parameters
-
array<string, string>$map Additions/edits to the class map to apply.
Returns
void
