Public Properties ​

PropertyDescription
behaviorsyii\base\Behavior – List of behaviors attached to this component.
dbcraft\db\Connection, array, string – The database connection to use
deleteAllTrashedboolean – Whether hardDelete() should delete all soft-deleted rows, rather than just the ones that were deleted long enough ago to be ready for hard-deletion per the config5:softDeleteDuration config setting.
probabilityinteger – The probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed on a request.
silentboolean – Whether CLI output should be muted.

db ​

Type
craft\db\Connection, array, string
Default value
'db'
Since
4.0.0

The database connection to use

probability ​

Type
integer
Default value
10

The probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed on a request. Defaults to 10, meaning 0.001% chance.

This number should be between 0 and 1000000. A value 0 means no GC will be performed at all unless forced.
