DatetimeField
class DatetimeField extends TextField
Form field used for editing date time strings.
In the default HTML5 mode, the field expects form submissions in normalised ISO 8601 format, for example 2017-04-26T23:59:59 (with a "T" separator). Data is passed on via {@link dataValue()} with whitespace separators. The {@link $value} property is always in ISO 8601 format, in the server timezone.

Methods
Attempts to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
Add an extension to a specific class.
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 {@link 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 {@link $extension_instances}. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use {@link add_extension()} afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method {@link 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.

Gets the uninherited value for the given config option
Returns an input field.
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{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using {@link ViewableData::getField()}, then fall back on a failover object.
Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the {@link ViewableData::setField()} method.

Add methods from the {@link ViewableData::$failover} object, as well as wrapping any methods prefixed with an underscore into a {@link ViewableData::cachedCall()}.
Merge some arbitrary data in with this object. This method returns a {@link 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.
Get the class name a field on this object will be casted to.
Return the string-format type for the given field.

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 {@link 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.
Get an array of XML-escaped values by field name
Return a single-item iterator so you can iterate over the fields of a single record.

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 {@link Extensions}, {@link Object::createMethod()} or {@link Object::addWrapperMethod()}
in CustomMethods at line 146
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

allMethodNames(bool $custom = false)
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
in Extensible at line 172
static bool
add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)
Add an extension to a specific class.
The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.
As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the {@link Object::$extensions} array. See {@link 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 {@link singleton()}).
in Extensible at line 236
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 {@link Object} instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through {@link singleton()} to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

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 {@link __construct()} in {@link defineMethods()}.

Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in {@link $extension_instances}. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use {@link add_extension()} afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method {@link has_extension()} to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.

Extension[]
getExtensionInstances()
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
See {@link 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.
in Injectable at line 26
static Injectable
create(array $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'); $list = SiteTree::get();
in Injectable at line 43
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).

ViewableData_Debugger
Debug()
Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template
in RequestHandler at line 149
HTTPResponse|RequestHandler|string|array
handleRequest(HTTPRequest $request)
Handles URL requests.
- ViewableData::handleRequest() iterates through each rule in {@link self::$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.

Field(array $properties = array())
Returns the form field.
Although FieldHolder is generally what is inserted into templates, all of the field holder templates make use of $Field. It's expected that FieldHolder will give you the "complete" representation of the field on the form, whereas Field will give you the core editing widget, such as an input tag.
in FormField at line 1035

FieldHolder(array $properties = array())
Returns a "field holder" for this field.
Forms are constructed by concatenating a number of these field holders.

isComposite()
Returns true if this field is a composite field.
To create composite field types, you should subclass {@link CompositeField}.
in FormField at line 1145
bool
hasData()
Returns true if this field has its own data.
Some fields, such as titles and composite fields, don't actually have any data. It doesn't make sense for data-focused methods to look at them. By overloading hasData() to return false, you can prevent any data-focused methods from looking at it.

FormField
castedCopy(mixed $classOrCopy)
Returns another instance of this field, but "cast" to a different class. The logic tries to retain all of the instance properties, and may be overloaded by subclasses to set additional ones.
Assumes the standard FormField parameter signature with its name as the only mandatory argument. Mainly geared towards creating *_Readonly or *_Disabled subclasses of the same type, or casting to a {@link ReadonlyField}.
Does not copy custom field templates, since they probably won't apply to the new instance.

array
getSchemaStateDefaults()
Gets the defaults for $schemaState.
The keys defined here are immutable, meaning undefined keys passed to {@link setSchemaState()} are ignored.
Instead the data array should be used to pass around ad hoc data.
Includes validation data if the field is associated to a {@link Form},
and {@link Form->validate()} has been called.
in TextField at line 159
array
getSchemaValidation()
Return list of validation rules. Each rule is a key value pair.
The key is the rule name. The value is any information the frontend
validation handler can understand, or just true to enable.
