`__set()`

Sets the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

a property defined by a setter: set the property value
an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

`withTransforms()`

Causes the query to return matching assets eager-loaded with image transform indexes.

This can improve performance when displaying several image transforms at once, if the transforms have already been generated.

Transforms can be specified as their handle or an object that contains width and/or height properties.

You can include srcset-style sizes (e.g. 100w or 2x) following a normal transform definition, for example:

::: code

twig

[{width: 1000, height: 600}, '1.5x', '2x', '3x']

php

[['width' => 1000, 'height' => 600], '1.5x', '2x', '3x']

:::

When a srcset-style size is encountered, the preceding normal transform definition will be used as a reference when determining the resulting transform dimensions.

View source

Arguments

$value (string, array, null) – The transforms to include.

Returns

static – The query object itself

Example

twigphp

twig

{# Fetch assets with the 'thumbnail' and 'hiResThumbnail' transform data preloaded #}
{% set {elements-var} = {twig-method}
  .kind('image')
  .withTransforms(['thumbnail', 'hiResThumbnail'])
  .all() %}

php

// Fetch assets with the 'thumbnail' and 'hiResThumbnail' transform data preloaded
${elements-var} = {php-method}
    ->kind('image')
    ->withTransforms(['thumbnail', 'hiResThumbnail'])
    ->all();

`afterPrepare()`

This method is called at the end of preparing an element query for the query builder.

It is called at the beginning of prepare(), right after query and subQuery have been created.

View source

Returns

boolean – Whether the query should be prepared and returned to the query builder. If false, the query will be cancelled and no results will be returned.

`beforePrepare()`

This method is called at the beginning of preparing an element query for the query builder.

The main Query object being prepared for the query builder is available via query. The subselect’s Query object being prepared is available via subQuery. The role of the subselect query is to apply conditions to the query and narrow the result set down to just the elements that should actually be returned. The role of the main query is to join in any tables that should be included in the results, and select all of the columns that should be included in the results.

View source

Returns

boolean – Whether the query should be prepared and returned to the query builder. If false, the query will be cancelled and no results will be returned.

Throws

craft\db\QueryAbortedException

`cacheTags()`

Since: 3.5.0

Returns any cache invalidation tags that caches involving this element query should use as dependencies.

Use the most specific tag(s) possible, to reduce the likelihood of pointless cache clearing.

When elements are created/updated/deleted, their craft\base\ElementInterface::getCacheTags() method will be called, and any caches that have those tags listed as dependencies will be invalidated.

View source

Returns

string[]

`fieldLayouts()`

Since: 5.0.0

Returns the field layouts whose custom fields should be returned by customFields().

View source

Returns

craft\models\FieldLayout[]
