DataList
class DataList extends ModelData implements SS_List (View source)
Implements a "lazy loading" DataObjectSet.
Uses DataQuery to do the actual query generation.
DataLists are immutable as far as the query they represent is concerned. When you call a method that alters the query, a new DataList instance is returned, rather than modifying the existing instance
When you add or remove an element to the list the query remains the same, but because you have modified the underlying data the contents of the list changes. These are some of those methods:
- add
- addMany
- remove
- removeMany
- removeByID
- removeByFilter
- removeAll
Subclasses of DataList may add other methods that have the same effect.

No description
Get extra config sources for this class
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.

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 $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).
Gets the uninherited value for the given config option
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{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using ModelData::getField(), then fall back on a failover object.
Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the ModelData::setField() method.
Set a failover object to attempt to get data from if it is not present on this object.

Merge some arbitrary data in with this object. This method returns a ModelDataCustomised instance with references to both this and the new custom data.
Return the class name (though subclasses may return something else)
Return the HTML markup that represents this model when it is directly injected into a template (e.g. using $Me).
Return the "casting helper" (an injectable service name) for a field on this object. This helper will be a subclass of DBField.
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 a cached value from the field cache for a field
Store a value in the field cache for a field
Get the value of a field on this object, automatically inserting the value into any available casting objects that have been specified.
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.
Flags provides the user with additional data about the current page status.
Get the HTML markup for rendering status flags for this model.
Find appropriate templates for SSViewer to use to render this object
When rendering some objects it is necessary to iterate over the object being rendered, to do this, you need access to itself.
Get part of the current classes ancestry to be used as a CSS class.
Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template
Given a filter expression and value construct a {SearchFilter} instance
Returns the SQL query that will be used to get this DataList's records. Good for debugging. :-)
Returns true if this DataList can be sorted by the given field.
Returns true if this DataList can be filtered by the given field.
Note that, in the current implementation, the filtered list will be an ArrayList, but this may change in a future implementation.
Check if the given field specification could be interpreted as an unquoted relation name
Return an array of the actual items that this DataList contains at this stage.
Return this list as an array and every object it as an sub array as well
Create a DataObject from the given SQL row If called without $row['ID'] set, then a new object will be created rather than rehydrated.
Return the sum of the values of the given field in this DataList
Find the first DataObject of this DataList where the given key = value
Returns an array of a single field value for all items in the list.
Returns a unique array of a single field value for all items in the list.
Returns an array with both the keys and values set to the IDs of the records in this list.
Returns a HasManyList or ManyMany list representing the querying of a relation across all objects in this data list. For it to work, the relation must be defined on the data class that you used to create this DataList.
This method are overloaded by HasManyList and ManyMany list to perform more sophisticated list manipulation
Remove an item from this DataList by ID There is no return type defined as different subclasses may return different types
Iterate over this DataList in "chunks". This will break the query in smaller subsets and avoid loading the entire result set in memory at once. Beware not to perform any operations on the results that might alter the return order. Otherwise, you might break subsequent chunks.
Details
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 $method)
Return TRUE if a method exists on this object
This should be used rather than PHP's inbuild method_exists() as it takes into account methods added via extensions
protected bool
hasCustomMethod($method)
Determines if a custom method with this name is defined.
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
static protected array
findBuiltInMethods(string|object $class = null)
Get all public built in methods for this class
protected array
findMethodsFrom(object $object)
Find all methods on the given object.
protected
addMethodsFrom(string $property, string|int $index = null)
Add all the methods from an object property.
protected
removeMethodsFrom(string $property, string|int $index = null)
Add all the methods from an object property (which is an Extension) to this object.
protected
addWrapperMethod(string $method, string $wrap)
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)
protected
addCallbackMethod(string $method, callable $callback)
Add callback as a method.
protected
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.
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()).
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 $method, mixed ...$arguments)
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 $method, mixed ...$arguments)
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).

Note that, unlike the core isset() implementation, this will return true if the property is defined and set to null.
mixed
__get(string $property)
Get the value of a property/field on this object. This will check if a method called get{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using ModelData::getField(), then fall back on a failover object.
void

Flags provides the user with additional data about the current page status.
Mostly this is used for versioning, but can be used for other purposes (e.g. localisation). Each page can have more than one status flag.
Returns an associative array of a unique key to a (localized) title for the flag. The unique key can be reused as a CSS class.
Example (simple): "deletedonlive" => "Deleted"
Example (with optional title attribute): "deletedonlive" => ['text' => "Deleted", 'title' => 'This page has been deleted']
