class VersionProvider (View source)

The version provider will look up configured modules and examine the composer.lock file to find the current version installed for each. This is used for the logo title in the CMS via LeftAndMain::CMSVersion()

Example configuration:

SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\VersionProvider:
  modules:
    # package/name: Package Title
    silverstripe/framework: Framework
    silverstripe/cms: CMS

uninherited(string $name)

Gets the uninherited value for the given config option

public static 
create(mixed ...$args)

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

public static 
singleton(string $class = null)

Details

static Config_ForClass config()

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

Return Value

Config_ForClass

mixed uninherited(string $name)

Gets the uninherited value for the given config option

Parameters

string $name

Return Value

mixed

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 getVersion()

Gets a comma delimited string of package titles and versions

Return Value

string

string getModuleVersion(string $module)

Get the version of a specific module

Parameters

string $module
  • e.g. silverstripe/framework

Return Value

string
  • e.g. 4.11

array<string,string> getModules()

Gets the configured core modules to use for the SilverStripe application version

Return Value

array<string,string>

(string)[] getModuleVersionFromComposer(string[] $modules = [])

Tries to obtain version number from composer.lock if it exists

Parameters

string[] $modules

Return Value

(string)[]

protected array getComposerLock(bool $cache = true) deprecated

deprecated 5.1 Has been replaced by composer-runtime-api

Load composer.lock's contents and return it

Parameters

bool $cache

Return Value
