replaceLinks() public méthode

For example, if an article is linked to tags 'cake' and 'framework' and you pass to this method an array containing the entities for tags 'cake', 'php' and 'awesome', only the link for cake will be kept in database, the link for 'framework' will be deleted and the links for 'php' and 'awesome' will be created. Existing links are not deleted and created again, they are either left untouched or updated so that potential extra information stored in the joint row is not lost. Updating the link row can be done by making sure the corresponding passed target entity contains the joint property with its primary key and any extra information to be stored. On success, the passed $sourceEntity will contain $targetEntities as value in the corresponding property for this association. This method assumes that links between both the source entity and each of the target entities are unique. That is, for any given row in the source table there can only be one link in the junction table pointing to any other given row in the target table. Additional options for new links to be saved can be passed in the third argument, check Table::save() for information on the accepted options. ### Example: $article->tags = [$tag1, $tag2, $tag3, $tag4]; $articles->save($article); $tags = [$tag1, $tag3]; $articles->association('tags')->replaceLinks($article, $tags); $article->get('tags') will contain only [$tag1, $tag3] at the end

$sourceEntity	Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface	an entity persisted in the source table for this association
$targetEntities	array	list of entities from the target table to be linked
$options	array	list of options to be passed to the internal `save`/`delete` calls when persisting/updating new links, or deleting existing ones
Résultat	boolean	success

saveAssociated() public méthode

When using the 'append' strategy, this function will only create new links between each side of this association. It will not destroy existing ones even though they may not be present in the array of entities to be saved. When using the 'replace' strategy, existing links will be removed and new links will be created in the joint table. If there exists links in the database to some of the entities intended to be saved by this method, they will be updated, not deleted.

saveStrategy() public méthode

Sets the strategy that should be used for saving. If called with no arguments, it will return the currently configured strategy

public saveStrategy ( string \| null $strategy = null ) : string
$strategy	string \| null	the strategy name to be used
Résultat	string	the strategy to be used for saving

targetConditions() protected méthode

Any string expressions, or expression objects will also be returned in this list.

protected targetConditions ( ) : mixed
Résultat	mixed	Generally an array. If the conditions are not an array, the association conditions will be returned unmodified.

targetForeignKey() public méthode

If no parameters are passed current field is returned

public targetForeignKey ( string \| null $key = null ) : string
$key	string \| null	the key to be used to link both tables together
Résultat	string

type() public méthode

Get the relationship type.

public type ( ) : string
Résultat	string

unlink() public méthode

### Options Additionally to the default options accepted by Table::delete(), the following keys are supported: - cleanProperty: Whether or not to remove all the objects in $targetEntities that are stored in $sourceEntity (default: true) By default this method will unset each of the entity objects stored inside the source entity. ### Example: $article->tags = [$tag1, $tag2, $tag3, $tag4]; $tags = [$tag1, $tag2, $tag3]; $articles->association('tags')->unlink($article, $tags); $article->get('tags') will contain only [$tag4] after deleting in the database

public unlink ( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $sourceEntity, array $targetEntities, array \| boolean $options = [] ) : boolean
$sourceEntity	Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface	an entity persisted in the source table for this association
$targetEntities	array	list of entities persisted in the target table for this association
$options	array \| boolean	list of options to be passed to the internal `delete` call, or a `boolean`
