Form
class Form extends Form (View source)
Basic confirmation form implementation.
Renders the list of confirmation items on the screen and reconciles those with the confirmation storage.
If the user confirms the action, marks the storage as confirmed and redirects to the success url (kept in the storage).
If the user declines the action, cleans up the storage and redirects to the failure url (kept in the storage).
Traits
This trait can be applied to a ViewableData class to add the logic to render attributes in an SS template.
Form component which contains a castable message
Allows an object to have extensions applied to it.
A class that can be instantiated or replaced via DI
Provides extensions to this object to integrate it with standard config API methods.
Allows an object to declare a set of custom methods

mixed
__call(string $method, array $arguments)
Attempts 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 Extensions}, {@link Object::createMethod() or Object::addWrapperMethod()
protected
defineMethods()
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().
protected
registerExtraMethodCallback(string $name, callable $callback)
Register an callback to invoke that defines extra methods
bool
hasMethod(string $method)
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
protected array
getExtraMethodConfig(string $method)
Get meta-data details on a named method
array
allMethodNames(bool $custom = false)
Return the names of all the methods available on this object

defineExtensionMethods()
Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.
All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().
static bool
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.
Note: This will not remove extensions from parent classes, and must be called directly on the class assigned the extension.
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.
static array
get_extensions(string $class = null, bool $includeArgumentString = false)
No description
static array|null
get_extra_config_sources(string $class = null)
Get extra config sources for this class
static bool
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))
array
invokeWithExtensions(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied Extensions, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
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().
Extension|null
getExtensionInstance(string $extension)
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
bool
hasExtension(string $extension)
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Caution: Don't use singleton(
Extension[]
getExtensionInstances()
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
See get_extensions() to get all applied extension classes for this class (not the instance).
This method also provides lazy-population of the extension_instances property.
static Injectable
create(mixed ...$args)
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.
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::class); $list = SiteTree::get();
static Injectable
singleton(string $class = null)
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).
static Config_ForClass
config()
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).

Note that, unlike the core isset() implementation, this will return true if the property is defined and set to null.
mixed
__get(string $property)

Set a failover object to attempt to get data from if it is not present on this object.
ViewableData|null
getFailover()
Get the current failover object if set
bool

Check if a field exists on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
mixed
getField(string $field)
Get the value of a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
$this
setField(string $field, mixed $value)
Set a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
ViewableData_Customised
customise(array|ViewableData $data)
Merge some arbitrary data in with this object. This method returns a 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.
bool
exists()
Return true if this object "exists" i.e. has a sensible value
This method should be overridden in subclasses to provide more context about the classes state. For example, a DataObject class could return false when it is deleted from the database

loadDataFrom(array|DataObject $data, int $mergeStrategy = 0, array $fieldList = null)
Load data from the given DataObject or array.
It will call $object->MyField to get the value of MyField. If you passed an array, it will call $object[MyField]. Doesn't save into dataless FormFields (DatalessField), as determined by FieldList->dataFields().
By default, if a field isn't set (as determined by isset()), its value will not be saved to the field, retaining potential existing values.
Passed data should not be escaped, and is saved to the FormField instances unescaped. Escaping happens automatically on saving the data through saveInto().
