View source (opens new window)

Returns

# afterSave()

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

Throws

# attributeLabels()

Returns the attribute labels.

Attribute labels are mainly used for display purpose. For example, given an attribute firstName, we can declare a label First Name which is more user-friendly and can be displayed to end users.

By default an attribute label is generated using generateAttributeLabel() (opens new window). This method allows you to explicitly specify attribute labels.

Note, in order to inherit labels defined in the parent class, a child class needs to merge the parent labels with child labels using functions such as array_merge().

View source (opens new window)

Returns

array (opens new window) – Attribute labels (name => label)

# attributes()

Returns the list of attribute names.

By default, this method returns all public non-static properties of the class. You may override this method to change the default behavior.

View source (opens new window)

Returns

string (opens new window)[] – List of attribute names.

# authenticate()

Determines whether the user is allowed to be logged in with a given password.

# can()

Returns whether the user has permission to perform a given action.

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

Returns

boolean (opens new window)

# datetimeAttributes()

Returns the names of any attributes that should hold DateTime (opens new window) values.

View source (opens new window)

Returns

string (opens new window)[]

# displayName()

Returns the display name of this class.

View source (opens new window)

Returns

string (opens new window) – The display name of this class.

# eagerLoadingMap()

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.
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 (opens new window)

Arguments

Returns

array (opens new window), false (opens new window), null (opens new window) – 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() (opens new window).

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

Returns

array (opens new window) – The list of expandable field names or field definitions. Please refer to fields() (opens new window) 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,

// 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,

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,

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

View source (opens new window)

Returns

craft\elements\db\UserQuery – The newly created craft\elements\db\UserQuery instance.

# findIdentity()

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

  • $token (mixed) – The token to be looked for
  • $type (mixed) – The type of the token. The value of this parameter depends on the implementation. For example, yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth (opens new window) will set this parameter to be yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth.

Returns

yii\web\IdentityInterface (opens new window), null (opens new window) – The identity object that matches the given token. Null should be returned if such an identity cannot be found or the identity is not in an active state (disabled, deleted, etc.)

# getAuthKey()

Returns a key that can be used to check the validity of a given identity ID.

The key should be unique for each individual user, and should be persistent so that it can be used to check the validity of the user identity.

The space of such keys should be big enough to defeat potential identity attacks.

The returned key is used to validate session and auto-login (if yii\web\User::$enableAutoLogin (opens new window) is enabled).

Make sure to invalidate earlier issued authKeys when you implement force user logout, password change and other scenarios, that require forceful access revocation for old sessions.

View source (opens new window)

Returns

string (opens new window), null (opens new window) – A key that is used to check the validity of a given identity ID.

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 (opens new window) will contain all attributes found in the rules().

# 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:

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

All untrusted text should be passed through craft\helpers\Html::encode() (opens new window) 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 \craft\elements\DateTime object, the date will be formatted with a localized date format.
  • For anything else, it will output the attribute value as a string.
