afterSave() ​

Performs actions after an element is saved.

View source

Arguments ​

  • $isNew (boolean) – Whether the element is brand new

Throws ​

beforeDelete() ​

Performs actions before an element is deleted.

View source

Returns ​

boolean – Whether the element should be deleted

displayName() ​

Returns the display name of this class.

View source

Returns ​

string – The display name of this class.

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);
    }
}
