ArrayList deprecated
class ArrayList extends ViewableData implements SS_List, Filterable, Sortable, Limitable (View source)
deprecated
A list object that wraps around an array of objects or arrays.
Note that (like DataLists), the implementations of the methods from SS_Filterable, SS_Sortable and SS_Limitable return a new instance of ArrayList, rather than modifying the existing instance.
For easy reference, methods that operate in this way are:
- limit
- reverse
- sort
- filter
- exclude

No description
Get extra config sources for this class
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
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.
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class

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 ViewableData::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 ViewableData::setField() method.
Set a failover object to attempt to get data from if it is not present on this object.
Check if a field exists on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Get the value of a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Set a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Whether the model requires sudo mode to be active in order to be modified in admin
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.
Return the "casting helper" (a piece of PHP code that when evaluated creates a casted value object) 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
Store a value in the field cache
Get the value of a field on this object, automatically inserting the value into any available casting objects that have been specified.
A simple wrapper around ViewableData::obj() that automatically caches the result so it can be used again without re-running the method.
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.
Get the string value of a field on this object that has been suitable escaped to be inserted directly into a template.
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

Returns true if the given column can be used to filter the records.

                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.

    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
    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().

    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(

    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.

    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).

    __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 ViewableData::getField(), then fall back on a failover object.
