eagerLoadingMap()

Since
3.4.0

Returns an array that maps source-to-target element IDs based on the given sub-property handle.

This method aids in the eager-loading of elements when performing an element query. The returned array should contain the following keys:

  • elementType – the fully qualified class name of the element type that should be eager-loaded
  • map – an array of element ID mappings, where each element is a sub-array with source and target keys.
  • criteria (optional) – Any criteria parameters that should be applied to the element query when fetching the eager-loaded elements.
php
use craft\db\Query;
use craft\helpers\ArrayHelper;

public static function eagerLoadingMap(array $sourceElements, string $handle) {
    switch ($handle) {
        case 'author':
            $bookIds = ArrayHelper::getColumn($sourceElements, 'id');
            $map = (new Query)
                ->select(['source' => 'id', 'target' => 'authorId'])
                ->from('{{%books}}')
                ->where(['id' => $bookIds)
                ->all();
            return [
                'elementType' => \my\plugin\Author::class,
                'map' => $map,
            ];
        case 'bookClubs':
            $bookIds = ArrayHelper::getColumn($sourceElements, 'id');
            $map = (new Query)
                ->select(['source' => 'bookId', 'target' => 'clubId'])
                ->from('{{%bookclub_books}}')
                ->where(['bookId' => $bookIds)
                ->all();
            return [
                'elementType' => \my\plugin\BookClub::class,
                'map' => $map,
            ];
        default:
            return parent::eagerLoadMap($sourceElements, $handle);
    }
}

View source

Arguments

  • $sourceElements (craft\base\ElementInterface[]) – An array of the source elements
  • $handle (string) – The property handle used to identify which target elements should be included in the map

Returns

array, false, null – The eager-loading element ID mappings, false if no mappings exist, or null if the result should be ignored

extraFields()

Returns the list of fields that can be expanded further and returned by toArray().

This method is similar to fields() except that the list of fields returned by this method are not returned by default by toArray(). Only when field names to be expanded are explicitly specified when calling toArray(), will their values be exported.

The default implementation returns an empty array.

You may override this method to return a list of expandable fields based on some context information (e.g. the current application user).

View source

Returns

array – The list of expandable field names or field definitions. Please refer to fields() on the format of the return value.

find()

Creates an craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface instance for query purpose.

The returned craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface instance can be further customized by calling methods defined in craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface before one() or all() is called to return populated \craft\elements\ElementInterface instances. For example,

php
// Find the entry whose ID is 5
$entry = Entry::find()->id(5)->one();
// Find all assets and order them by their filename:
$assets = Asset::find()
    ->orderBy('filename')
    ->all();

If you want to define custom criteria parameters for your elements, you can do so by overriding this method and returning a custom query class. For example,

php
class Product extends Element
{
    public static function find()
    {
        // use ProductQuery instead of the default ElementQuery
        return new ProductQuery(get_called_class());
    }
}

You can also set default criteria parameters on the ElementQuery if you don’t have a need for a custom query class. For example,

php
class Customer extends ActiveRecord
{
    public static function find()
    {
        return parent::find()->limit(50);
    }
}

View source

    'scenario2' => ['attribute21', 'attribute22', ...],
    ...
]

By default, an active attribute is considered safe and can be massively assigned. If an attribute should NOT be massively assigned (thus considered unsafe), please prefix the attribute with an exclamation character (e.g. '!rank').

The default implementation of this method will return all scenarios found in the rules() declaration. A special scenario named SCENARIO_DEFAULT will contain all attributes found in the rules(). Each scenario will be associated with the attributes that are being validated by the validation rules that apply to the scenario.

This method should return an array, where each item is a sub-array with the following keys:

  • label – The sort option label
  • orderBy – An array, comma-delimited string, or a callback function that defines the columns to order the query by. If set to a callback function, the function will be passed a single argument, $dir, set to either SORT_ASC or SORT_DESC, and it should return an array of column names or an yii\db\ExpressionInterface object.
  • attribute (optional) – The table attribute name that this option is associated with (required if orderBy is an array or more than one column name)
  • defaultDir (optional) – The default sort direction that should be used when sorting by this option (set to either asc or desc). Defaults to asc if not specified.
php

View source

Returns

array – The table attributes.

Arguments

tableAttributeHtml()

Returns the HTML that should be shown for a given attribute in Table View.

This method can be used to completely customize what actually shows up within the table’s body for a given attribute, rather than simply showing the attribute’s raw value.

For example, if your elements have an email attribute that you want to wrap in a mailto: link, your tableAttributeHtml() method could do this:

php
switch ($attribute) {
    case 'email':
        return $this->email ? Html::mailto(Html::encode($this->email)) : '';
    // ...
}
return parent::tableAttributeHtml($attribute);

WARNING

All untrusted text should be passed through craft\helpers\Html::encode() to prevent XSS attacks.

By default the following will be returned:

  • If the attribute name is link or uri, it will be linked to the front-end URL.
  • If the attribute is a custom field handle, it will pass the responsibility off to the field type.
  • If the attribute value is a DateTime object, the date will be formatted with a localized date format.
  • For anything else, it will output the attribute value as a string.
