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

Parameters

string $name
callable $callback

bool hasMethod(string $method)

Return TRUE if a method exists on this object

Get meta-data details on a named method

Parameters

string $method

Return Value

array

List of custom method details, if defined for this method

Parameters

string $method

the method name to wrap

string $wrap

the method name to wrap to

protected addCallbackMethod(string $method, callable $callback)

Add callback as a method.

protected constructExtensions() deprecated

deprecated 4.0.0:5.0.0 Extensions and methods are now lazy-loaded

No description

protected 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()).

Parameters

string $classOrExtension

Class that should be extended - has to be a subclass of Object

string $extension

Subclass of Extension with optional parameters as a string, e.g. "Versioned" or "Translatable('Param')"

Return Value

bool

Flag if the extension was added

See also

http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/trunk/reference/dataextension

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.

Add support for removing extensions with parameters

Parameters

string $extension

class name of an Extension subclass, without parameters

static array get_extensions(string $class = null, bool $includeArgumentString = false)

No description

Parameters

string $class

If omitted, will get extensions for the current class

bool $includeArgumentString

Include the argument string in the return array, FALSE would return array("Versioned"), TRUE returns array("Versioned('Stage','Live')").

Return Value

array

Numeric array of either DataExtension class names, or eval'ed class name strings with constructor arguments.

static array|null get_extra_config_sources(string $class = null)

Get extra config sources for this class

Parameters

string $class

Name of class. If left null will return for the current class

Return Value

array|null

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))

Parameters

string $classOrExtension

Class to check extension for, or the extension name to check if the second argument is null.

string $requiredExtension

If the first argument is the parent class, this is the extension to check. If left null, the first parameter will be treated as the extension.

bool $strict

if the extension has to match the required extension and not be a subclass

Return Value

bool

Flag if the extension exists

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

Parameters

string $method

the method name to call

mixed $a1
mixed $a2
mixed $a3
mixed $a4
mixed $a5
mixed $a6
mixed $a7

Return Value

array

List of results with nulls filtered out

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().

Parameters

string $method

the name of the method to call on each extension

mixed $a1
mixed $a2
mixed $a3
mixed $a4
mixed $a5
mixed $a6
mixed $a7

Return Value

array

Extension|null getExtensionInstance(string $extension)

Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.

Parameters

string $extension

Return Value

Extension|null

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()->hasExtension() as it will give you inconsistent results based on when the singleton was first accessed.

Parameters

string $extension

Classname of an Extension subclass without parameters

Return Value

bool

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.

Return Value

Extension[]

Map of DataExtension instances, keyed by classname.

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();

Parameters

mixed ...$args

Return Value

Injectable

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).

Parameters

string $class

Optional classname to create, if the called class should not be used

Return Value

Injectable

The singleton instance

string ThemeDir() deprecated

deprecated 4.0.1 Use ModuleResourceLoader::resourcePath() or ModuleResourceLoader::resourceURL() instead

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.

string

URL to the current theme

string CSSClasses(string $stopAtClass = self::class)

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".

HTTPResponse|RequestHandler|string|array handleRequest(HTTPRequest $request)

Handles URL requests.

  • ViewableData::handleRequest() iterates through each rule in self::$url_handlers.
    • If the rule matches, the named method will be called.
    • If there is still more URL to be processed, then handleRequest() is called on the object that that method returns.

Once all of the URL has been processed, the final result is returned. However, if the final result is an array, this array is interpreted as being additional template data to customise the 2nd to last result with, rather than an object in its own right. This is most frequently used when a Controller's action will return an array of data with which to customise the controller.

Parameters

HTTPRequest $request

The object that is responsible for distributing URL parsing
