Method Detail

__construct() public 

__construct(mixed $config)

Constructor.

Parameters

array $config optional

Settings for the filter.

Throws

InvalidArgumentException
When 'when' conditions are not callable.

_configDelete() protected 

_configDelete(mixed $key)

Deletes a single config key.

Parameters

string $key

Key to delete.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if attempting to clobber existing config

_configRead() protected 

_configRead(mixed $key)

Reads a config key.

Parameters

string|null $key

Key to read.

Returns

mixed

_configWrite() protected 

_configWrite(mixed $key, mixed $value, mixed $merge)

Writes a config key.

Parameters

string|array $key

Key to write to.

mixed $value

Value to write.

bool|string $merge optional

True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if attempting to clobber existing config

afterDispatch() public 

afterDispatch(\Cake\Event\Event $event)

Method called after the controller served a request and generated a response.

It is possible to alter the response object at this point as it is not sent to the client yet.

If false is returned, the event will be stopped and no more listeners will be notified. Alternatively you can call $event->stopPropagation() to achieve the same result.

Parameters

\Cake\Event\Event $event

container object having the request and response keys in the data property.

beforeDispatch() public 

beforeDispatch(\Cake\Event\Event $event)

Applies Routing and additionalParameters to the request to be dispatched.

If Routes have not been loaded they will be loaded, and config/routes.php will be run.

Parameters

\Cake\Event\Event $event

containing the request, response and additional params

Returns

\Cake\Http\Response|null

A response will be returned when a redirect route is encountered.

config() public 

config(mixed $key, mixed $value, mixed $merge)

Gets/Sets the config.

Parameters
