ViewableData_Debugger
class ViewableData_Debugger extends ViewableData
Allows you to render debug information about a {@link ViewableData} object into a template.
Traits
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 $extension_instances}. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use {@link add_extension()} afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method {@link has_extension()} to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($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{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using {@link ViewableData::getField()}, then fall back on a failover object.
Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the {@link ViewableData::setField()} method.
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.
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.
No description
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.
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 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.
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
Return debugging information, as XHTML. If a field name is passed, it will show debugging information on that field, otherwise it will show information on all methods and fields.

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
in CustomMethods at line 176
array
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.

static bool
has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, boolean $strict = false)
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))

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 {@link Extensions}, and then attempts to merge all results into an array

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()}.

Extension|null
getExtensionInstance(string $extension)
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
in Extensible at line 526
bool
hasExtension(string $extension)
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.
Caution: Don't use singleton(

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).

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 {@link ViewableData::getField()}, then fall back on a failover object.
in ViewableData at line 152
__set(string $property, mixed $value)
Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the {@link ViewableData::setField()} method.

ViewableData_Customised
customise(array|ViewableData $data)
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.
Note that any fields you specify will take precedence over the fields on this object.
in ViewableData at line 281
bool
exists()
Return true if this object "exists" i.e. has a sensible value
This method should be overriden in subclasses to provide more context about the classes state. For example, a {@link DataObject} class could return false when it is deleted from the database
