Method Detail

__construct() public

__construct(Cake\Controller\Controller|null $controller = null)

Constructor.

Parameters

Cake\Controller\Controller|null $controller optional

Controller instance.

__debugInfo() public

__debugInfo(): array<string, mixed>

Debug friendly object properties.

Returns

array<string, mixed>

__get() public

__get(string $name): object|null

Provide public read access to the loaded objects

Parameters

string $name

Name of property to read

Returns

object|null

__isset() public

__isset(string $name): bool

Provide isset access to _loaded

Parameters

string $name

Name of object being checked.

Returns

bool

__set() public

__set(string $name, object $object): void

Sets an object.

Parameters

string $name

Name of a property to set.

object $object

Object to set.

Returns

void

__unset() public

__unset(string $name): void

Unsets an object.

Parameters

string $name

Name of a property to unset.

Returns

void

_checkDuplicate() protected

_checkDuplicate(string $name, array<string, mixed> $config): void

Check 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<string, mixed> $config

The config data for the new instance.

Returns

void

Throws

RuntimeException
When a duplicate is found.

_create() protected

_create(object|string $class, string $alias, array<string, mixed> $config): Cake\Controller\Component

Create the component instance.

Part of the template method for {@link \Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load()} Enabled components will be registered with the event manager.

Parameters

object|string $class

The classname to create.

string $alias

The alias of the component.

array<string, mixed> $config

An array of config to use for the component.

Returns

Cake\Controller\Component

_resolveClassName() protected

_resolveClassName(string $class): string|null

Resolve a component classname.

Part of the template method for {@link \Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load()}.

Parameters

string $class

Partial classname to resolve.

Returns

string|null

_throwMissingClassError() protected

_throwMissingClassError(string $class, string|null $plugin): void

Throws an exception when a component is missing.

Part of the template method for {@link \Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::load()} and {@link \Cake\Core\ObjectRegistry::unload()}

Parameters

string $class

The classname that is missing.

string|null $plugin

The plugin the component is missing in.

Returns

void

Throws

Cake\Controller\Exception\MissingComponentException

count() public

count(): int

Returns the number of loaded objects.

Returns

int

dispatchEvent() public

dispatchEvent(string $name, array|null $data = null, object|null $subject = null): Cake\Event\EventInterface

Wrapper for creating and dispatching events.

Returns a dispatched event.

Parameters

string $name

Name of the event.

array|null $data optional

Any value you wish to be transported with this event to it can be read by listeners.

object|null $subject optional

The object that this event applies to ($this by default).

Returns

Cake\Event\EventInterface

get() public

get(string $name): object

Get loaded object instance.

Parameters

string $name

Name of object.

Returns

object

Throws

RuntimeException
If not loaded or found.

getController() public

getController(): Cake\Controller\Controller

Get the controller associated with the collection.

Returns

Cake\Controller\Controller

getEventManager() public

getEventManager(): Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface

Returns the Cake\Event\EventManager manager instance for this object.

You can use this instance to register any new listeners or callbacks to the object events, or create your own events and trigger them at will.

Returns

Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface

getIterator() public

getIterator(): Traversable

Returns an array iterator.

Returns

Traversable

has() public

has(string $name): bool

Check whether a given object is loaded.

Parameters

string $name

The object name to check for.

Returns

bool

load() public

load(string $name, array<string, mixed> $config = []): mixed

Loads/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 {@link \Cake\Controller\Component::$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.

Parameters

string $name

The name/class of the object to load.

array<string, mixed> $config optional

Additional settings to use when loading the object.

Returns

mixed

Throws

Exception
If the class cannot be found.

loaded() public

loaded(): array<string>

Get the list of loaded objects.

Returns

array<string>

normalizeArray() public

normalizeArray(array $objects): array<string, array>

Normalizes an object array, creates an array that makes lazy loading easier

Parameters

array $objects

Array of child objects to normalize.

Returns

array<string, array>

reset() public

reset(): $this

Clear loaded instances in the registry.

If the registry subclass has an event manager, the objects will be detached from events as well.

Returns

$this

set() public

set(string $name, object $object): $this

Set an object directly into the registry by name.

If this collection implements events, the passed object will be attached into the event manager

Parameters

string $name

The name of the object to set in the registry.

object $object

instance to store in the registry

Returns

$this

setController() public

setController(Cake\Controller\Controller $controller): $this

Set the controller associated with the collection.

Parameters

Cake\Controller\Controller $controller

Controller instance.

Returns

$this

setEventManager() public

setEventManager(Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface $eventManager): $this

Returns the Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface instance for this object.

You can use this instance to register any new listeners or callbacks to the object events, or create your own events and trigger them at will.

Parameters

Cake\Event\EventManagerInterface $eventManager

the eventManager to set

Returns

$this

unload() public

unload(string $name): $this

Remove an object from the registry.

If this registry has an event manager, the object will be detached from any events as well.
