SecurityToken
class SecurityToken extends SS_Object implements TemplateGlobalProvider (View source)
Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection for the Form class and other GET links.
Can be used globally (through SecurityToken::inst()) or on a form-by-form basis Form->getSecurityToken().
Usage in forms
This protective measure is automatically turned on for all new Form instances, and can be globally disabled through disable().
Usage in custom controller actions
class MyController extends Controller {
function mygetaction($request) {
if(!SecurityToken::inst()->checkRequest($request)) return $this->httpError(400);
// valid action logic ...
}
}

Methods
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend after control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
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().
Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().
Similar to Object::create(), except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using Object::useCustomClass()
This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method 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.
Add an extension to a specific class.
No description
Attemps to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
Add a wrapper method - a method which points to another method with a different name. For example, Thumbnail(x) can be wrapped to generateThumbnail(x)
Add an extra method using raw PHP code passed as a string
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 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
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object 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
Loads a cache from the filesystem if a valid on is present and within the specified lifetime
Save a piece of cached data to the file system
Strip a file name of special characters so it is suitable for use as a cache file name
Globally disable the token (override with NullSecurityToken) implementation. Note: Does not apply for
Returns the value of an the global SecurityToken in the current session
Note: Doesn't call FormField->setForm() on the returned HiddenField, you'll need to take care of this yourself.
You can't disable an existing instance, it will need to be overwritten like this:
$old = SecurityToken::inst(); // isEnabled() returns true
SecurityToken::disable();
$new = SecurityToken::inst(); // isEnabled() returns falseCalled by SSViewer to get a list of global variables to expose to the template, the static method to call on this class to get the value for those variables, and the class to use for casting the returned value for use in a template

beforeExtending(string $method, callable $callback)
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
protected
afterExtending(string $method, callable $callback)
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend after control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
static SS_Object
create()
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 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'); $list = SiteTree::get();
static SS_Object
singleton()
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).
static
create_from_string($classSpec, $firstArg = null)
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 $firstArg argument, this will be prepended to the constructor arguments. It's impossible to pass null as the firstArg argument.
Object::create_from_string("Varchar(50)", "MyField") will return the result of
Vachar::create('MyField', '50');
Arguments are always strings, although this is a quirk of the current implementation rather than something that can be relied upon.
static
parse_class_spec($classSpec)
Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().
Returns a 2-elemnent array, with classname and arguments
static SS_Object
strong_create()
Similar to Object::create(), except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using Object::useCustomClass()
static
useCustomClass(string $oldClass, string $newClass, bool $strong = false)
This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method Object::create()
static string
getCustomClass(string $class)
If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name
static any
static_lookup($class, $name, null $default = null)
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.

has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, bool $strict = false)
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))
static
add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)
Add an extension to a specific class.
The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.
As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the Object::$extensions array. See 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 singleton()).
static
remove_extension(string $extension)
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 Object instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through singleton() to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

array
extend(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)
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 __construct()} in {@link defineMethods().

static array
get_template_global_variables()
Called by SSViewer to get a list of global variables to expose to the template, the static method to call on this class to get the value for those variables, and the class to use for casting the returned value for use in a template
If the method to call is not included for a particular template variable, a method named the same as the template variable will be called
If the casting class is not specified for a particular template variable, ViewableData::$default_cast is used
The first letter of the template variable is case-insensitive. However the method name is always case sensitive.
