Class ObjectRegistry

Acts as a registry/factory for objects.

Provides registry & factory functionality for object types. Used as a super class for various composition based re-use features in CakePHP.

Each subclass needs to implement the various abstract methods to complete the template method load().

The ObjectRegistry is EventManager aware, but each extending class will need to use \Cake\Event\EventDispatcherTrait to attach and detach on set and bind

Method Detail

__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() abstract protected

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

Create an instance of a given classname.

This method should construct and do any other initialization logic required.

Parameters

object|string $class

The class to build.

string $alias

The alias of the object.

array<string, mixed> $config

The Configuration settings for construction

Returns

object

_resolveClassName() abstract protected

_resolveClassName(string $class): string|null

Should resolve the classname for a given object type.

Parameters

string $class

The class to resolve.

Returns

string|null

_throwMissingClassError() abstract protected

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

Throw an exception when the requested object name is missing.

Parameters

string $class

The class that is missing.

string|null $plugin

The plugin $class is missing from.

Returns

void

Throws

Exception

count() public

count(): int

Returns the number of loaded objects.

Returns

int

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.

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

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.

Parameters

string $name

The name of the object to remove from the registry.

Returns

$this

Property Detail

$_loaded protected

Map of loaded objects.
