  • createElement (optional) - an element factory function, which will be passed the element query, the current query result data, and the first source element that the result was eager-loaded for
use craft\base\ElementInterface;
use craft\db\Query;

public static function eagerLoadingMap(array $sourceElements, string $handle)
{
    switch ($handle) {
        case 'author':
            $bookIds = array_map(fn(ElementInterface $element) => $element->id, $sourceElements);
            $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 = array_map(fn(ElementInterface $element) => $element->id, $sourceElements);
            $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

  • $sourceElements (self[]) – An array of the source elements
  • $handle (string (opens new window)) – The property handle used to identify which target elements should be included in the map

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

# exporters()

Since
3.4.0

Returns the available export options for a given source.

The exporters can be represented by their fully qualified class name, a config array with the class name set to a type key, or by an instantiated element exporter object.

TIP

Element types that extend craft\base\Element should override craft\base\Element::defineExporters() instead of this method.

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

Returns

array (opens new window) – The available element exporters.

# fieldLayouts()

Since
3.5.0

Returns all of the field layouts associated with elements from the given source.

This is used to determine which custom fields should be included in the element index sort menu, and other things.

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

Returns

craft\models\FieldLayout[]

# 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\base\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(): ElementQueryInterface
    {
        // 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(): ElementQueryInterface
    {
        return parent::find()->limit(50);
    }
}

View source (opens new window)

Returns

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

# findAll()

Returns a list of elements that match the specified ID(s) or a set of element criteria parameters.

The method accepts:

  • an int: query by a single ID value and return an array containing the corresponding element (or an empty array if not found).
  • an array of integers: query by a list of ID values and return the corresponding elements (or an empty array if none was found). Note that an empty array will result in an empty result as it will be interpreted as a search for primary keys and not an empty set of element criteria parameters.
  • an array of name-value pairs: query by a set of parameter values and return an array of elements matching all of them (or an empty array if none was found).

Note that this method will automatically call the all() method and return an array of \craft\base\Element instances. For example,

// find the entries whose ID is 10
$entries = Entry::findAll(10);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entries = Entry::find()->id(10)->all();
// find the entries whose ID is 10, 11 or 12.
$entries = Entry::findAll([10, 11, 12]);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entries = Entry::find()->id([10, 11, 12]])->all();
// find users whose email ends in "example.com"
$users = User::findAll(['email' => '*example.com']);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$users = User::find()->email('*example.com')->all();

View source (opens new window)

Arguments

  • $criteria (mixed) – The element ID, an array of IDs, or a set of element criteria parameters

Returns

static[] – An array of Element instances, or an empty array if nothing matches.

# findOne()

Returns a single element instance by a primary key or a set of element criteria parameters.

The method accepts:

  • an int: query by a single ID value and return the corresponding element (or null if not found).
  • an array of name-value pairs: query by a set of parameter values and return the first element matching all of them (or null if not found).

Note that this method will automatically call the one() method and return an \craft\base\Element instance. For example,

// find a single entry whose ID is 10
$entry = Entry::findOne(10);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entry = Entry::find->id(10)->one();
// find the first user whose email ends in "example.com"
$user = User::findOne(['email' => '*example.com']);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$user = User::find()->email('*example.com')->one();

Defines which element attributes should be searchable.

This method should return an array of attribute names that can be accessed on your elements. craft\services\Search will call this method when it is indexing keywords for one of your elements, and for each attribute it returns, it will fetch the corresponding property’s value on the element. For example, if your elements have a “color” attribute which you want to be indexed, this method could return:

return ['color'];

Not only will the “color” attribute’s values start getting indexed, but users will also be able to search directly against that attribute’s values using this search syntax:

color:blue

There is no need for this method to worry about the ‘title’ or ‘slug’ attributes, or custom field handles; those are indexed automatically.
