Class TypeMap

Implements default and single-use mappings for columns to their associated types

Namespace: Cake\Database
Location: Database/TypeMap.php

Properties summary

  • $_defaults protected
    array
    Associative array with the default fields and the related types this query might contain.
  • $_types protected
    array
    Associative array with the fields and the related types that override defaults this query might contain

Method Summary

  • __construct() public
    Creates an instance with the given defaults
  • addDefaults() public
    Add additional default types into the type map.
  • defaults() public

    Configures a map of default fields and their associated types to be used as the default list of types for every function in this class with a $types param. Useful to avoid repetition when calling the same functions using the same fields and types.

  • toArray() public
    Returns an array of all types mapped types
  • type() public

    Returns the type of the given column. If there is no single use type is configured, the column type will be looked for inside the default mapping. If neither exist, null will be returned.

  • types() public
    Sets a map of fields and their associated types for single-use.

Method Detail

__construct()source public 

__construct( array $defaults [] )

Creates an instance with the given defaults

If a key already exists it will not be overwritten.

Parameters

array $types
The additional types to add.

defaults()source public 

defaults( array $defaults null )

Configures a map of default fields and their associated types to be used as the default list of types for every function in this class with a $types param. Useful to avoid repetition when calling the same functions using the same fields and types.

If called with no arguments it will return the currently configured types.

Example

$query->defaults(['created' => 'datetime', 'is_visible' => 'boolean']);

This method will replace all the existing type maps with the ones provided.

Parameters

array $defaults optional null

associative array where keys are field names and values are the correspondent type.

Returns


$this|array

toArray()source public 

toArray( )

Returns an array of all types mapped types

Returns

array

type()source public 

type( string $column )

Returns the type of the given column. If there is no single use type is configured, the column type will be looked for inside the default mapping. If neither exist, null will be returned.

Parameters

string $column
The type for a given column

Returns

null|string

types()source public 

types( array $types null )

Sets a map of fields and their associated types for single-use.

If called with no arguments it will return the currently configured types.

Example

$query->types(['created' => 'time']);

This method will replace all the existing type maps with the ones provided.

Parameters

array $types optional null

associative array where keys are field names and values are the correspondent type.

Returns


$this|array

Properties detail

$_defaultssource

protected array

Associative array with the default fields and the related types this query might contain.

Used to avoid repetition when calling multiple functions inside this class that may require a custom type for a specific field.

$_typessource

protected array

Associative array with the fields and the related types that override defaults this query might contain

Used to avoid repetition when calling multiple functions inside this class that may require a custom type for a specific field.
