Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).

An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class

This method first for strong class overloads (singletons & DB interaction), then custom class overloads. If an overload is found, an instance of this is returned rather than the original class. To overload a class, use {@link Object::useCustomClass()}

This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create('SiteTree'); $list = SiteTree::get();

Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.

It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).

Create an object from a string representation. It treats it as a PHP constructor without the 'new' keyword. It also manages to construct the object without the use of eval().

Construction itself is done with Object::create(), so that Object::useCustomClass() calls are respected.

Object::create_from_string("Versioned('Stage','Live')") will return the result of Versioned::create('Stage', 'Live);

It is designed for simple, clonable objects. The first time this method is called for a given string it is cached, and clones of that object are returned.

If you pass the $firstArg argument, this will be prepended to the constructor arguments. It's impossible to pass null as the firstArg argument.

Object::create_from_string("Varchar(50)", "MyField") will return the result of Vachar::create('MyField', '50');

Arguments are always strings, although this is a quirk of the current implementation rather than something that can be relied upon.

Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().

Returns a 2-elemnent array, with classname and arguments

Similar to {@link Object::create()}, except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using {@link Object::useCustomClass()}

This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method {@link Object::create()}

If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name

Get the value of a static property of a class, even in that property is declared protected (but not private), without any inheritance, merging or parent lookup if it doesn't exist on the given class.

Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.

This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))

Add an extension to a specific class.

The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.

As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the {@link Object::$extensions} array. See {@link SiteTree::$extensions} for examples. Keep in mind that the extension will only be applied to new instances, not existing ones (including all instances created through {@link singleton()}).

Remove an extension from a class.

Keep in mind that this won't revert any datamodel additions of the extension at runtime, unless its used before the schema building kicks in (in your _config.php). Doesn't remove the extension from any {@link Object} instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through {@link singleton()} to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

Create a new email.

Attemps to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located

You can add extra methods to a class using {@link Extensions}, {@link Object::createMethod()} or {@link Object::addWrapperMethod()}

Return TRUE if a method exists on this object

This should be used rather than PHP's inbuild method_exists() as it takes into account methods added via extensions

Return the names of all the methods available on this object

Return true if this object "exists" i.e. has a sensible value

This method should be overriden in subclasses to provide more context about the classes state. For example, a {@link DataObject} class could return false when it is deleted from the database

Check if this class is an instance of a specific class, or has that class as one of its parents

Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied {@link Extensions}, and then attempts to merge all results into an array

Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed

Currently returns an array, with an index resulting every time the function is called. Only adds returns if they're not NULL, to avoid bogus results from methods just defined on the parent extension. This is important for permission-checks through extend, as they use min() to determine if any of the returns is FALSE. As min() doesn't do type checking, an included NULL return would fail the permission checks.

The extension methods are defined during {@link __construct()} in {@link defineMethods()}.

Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.

Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in {@link $extension_instances}. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use {@link add_extension()} afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method {@link has_extension()} to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.

Caution: Don't use singleton()->hasExtension() as it will give you inconsistent results based on when the singleton was first accessed.

Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.

See {@link get_extensions()} to get all applied extension classes for this class (not the instance).

Cache the results of an instance method in this object to a file, or if it is already cache return the cached results

Clears the cache for the given cacheToFile call

Converts a field spec into an object creator. For example: "Int" becomes "new Int($fieldName);" and "Varchar(50)" becomes "new Varchar($fieldName, 50);".

Convert a field schema (e.g. "Varchar(50)") into a casting object creator array that contains both a className and castingHelper constructor code. See {@link castingObjectCreator} for more information about the constructor.

Check if a field exists on this object or its failover.

Get the value of a property/field on this object. This will check if a method called get{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using {@link ViewableData::getField()}, then fall back on a failover object.

Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the {@link ViewableData::setField()} method.

Set a failover object to attempt to get data from if it is not present on this object.

Get the current failover object if set

Check if a field exists on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.

Get the value of a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.

Set a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.

Add methods from the {@link ViewableData::$failover} object, as well as wrapping any methods prefixed with an underscore into a {@link ViewableData::cachedCall()}.

Method to facilitate deprecation of underscore-prefixed methods automatically being cached.

Merge some arbitrary data in with this object. This method returns a {@link ViewableData_Customised} instance with references to both this and the new custom data.

Note that any fields you specify will take precedence over the fields on this object.

Get the class a field on this object would be casted to, as well as the casting helper for casting a field to an object (see {@link ViewableData::castingHelper()} for information on casting helpers).

The returned array contains two keys:

• className: the class the field would be casted to (e.g. "Varchar")
• castingHelper: the casting helper for casting the field (e.g. "return new Varchar($fieldName)")

Return the "casting helper" (a piece of PHP code that when evaluated creates a casted value object) for a field on this object.

Get the class name a field on this object will be casted to

Return the string-format type for the given field.

Save the casting cache for this object (including data from any failovers) into a variable

Render this object into the template, and get the result as a string. You can pass one of the following as the $template parameter:

• a template name (e.g. Page)
• an array of possible template names - the first valid one will be used
• an SSViewer instance

Get the value of a field on this object, automatically inserting the value into any available casting objects that have been specified.

A simple wrapper around {@link ViewableData::obj()} that automatically caches the result so it can be used again without re-running the method.

Checks if a given method/field has a valid value. If the result is an object, this will return the result of the exists method, otherwise will check if the result is not just an empty paragraph tag.

Get the string value of a field on this object that has been suitable escaped to be inserted directly into a template.

Return the value of the field without any escaping being applied.

Return the value of a field in an SQL-safe format.

Return the value of a field in a JavaScript-save format.

Return the value of a field escaped suitable to be inserted into an XML node attribute.

Get an array of XML-escaped values by field name

Return a single-item iterator so you can iterate over the fields of a single record.

This is useful so you can use a single record inside a <% control %> block in a template - and then use to access individual fields on this object.

When rendering some objects it is necessary to iterate over the object being rendered, to do this, you need access to itself.

Return the directory if the current active theme (relative to the site root).

This method is useful for things such as accessing theme images from your template without hardcoding the theme page - e.g. .

This method should only be used when a theme is currently active. However, it will fall over to the current project directory.

Get part of the current classes ancestry to be used as a CSS class.

This method returns an escaped string of CSS classes representing the current classes ancestry until it hits a stop point - e.g. "Page DataObject ViewableData".

Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template

Get the mailer.

Attach a file based on provided raw data.

Attach the specified file to this email message.

Set the "Reply-To" header with an email address.

Add a custom header to this email message. Useful for implementing all those cool features that we didn't think of.

IMPORTANT: If the specified header already exists, the provided value will be appended!

Get an HTML string for debugging purposes.

Set template name (without *.ss extension).

Used by {@link SSViewer} templates to detect if we're rendering an email template rather than a page template

Populate this email template with values. This may be called many times.

Send the email in plaintext.

Send an email with HTML content.

Used as a default sender address in the {@link Email} class unless overwritten. Also shown to users on live environments as a contact address on system error pages.

Used by {@link Email->send()}, {@link Email->sendPlain()}, {@link Debug->friendlyError()}.

Send every email generated by the Email class to the given address.

It will also add " [addressed to (email), cc to (email), bcc to (email)]" to the end of the subject line This can be used when testing, by putting a command like this in your _config.php file

if(!Director::isLive()) Email::send_all_emails_to("[email protected]")

CC every email generated by the Email class to the given address.

It won't affect the original delivery in the same way that send_all_emails_to does. It just adds a CC header with the given email address. Note that you can only call this once - subsequent calls will overwrite the configuration variable.

This can be used when you have a system that relies heavily on email and you want someone to be checking all correspondence.

if(Director::isLive()) Email::cc_all_emails_to("[email protected]")

BCC every email generated by the Email class to the given address.

It won't affect the original delivery in the same way that send_all_emails_to does. It just adds a BCC header with the given email address. Note that you can only call this once - subsequent calls will overwrite the configuration variable.

This can be used when you have a system that relies heavily on email and you want someone to be checking all correspondence.

if(Director::isLive()) Email::cc_all_emails_to("[email protected]")

Validates the email address to get as close to RFC 822 compliant as possible.

Encode an email-address to help protect it from spam bots. At the moment only simple string substitutions, which are not 100% safe from email harvesting.
