FieldList
class FieldList extends ArrayList
A list designed to hold form field instances.
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
No description
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.
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
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 the class of items in this list, by looking at the first item inside it.
Return this list as an array and every object it as an sub array as well
Replaces an item in this list with another item.
Merges with another array or list by pushing all the items in it onto the end of this list.
Removes items from this list which have a duplicate value for a certain field. This is especially useful when combining lists.
Push a single field onto the end of this FieldList instance.
Push a single field onto the beginning of this FieldList instance.
Returns a map of this list
Find the first item of this list 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 the items in the list
Sorts this list by one or more fields. You can either pass in a single field name and direction, or a map of field names to sort directions.
Returns true if the given column can be used to filter the records.
Return a copy of this list which contains items matching any of these charactaristics.
No description
Iterate over each field in the current list recursively
Return a flattened list of all fields
Return a sequential set of all fields that have data. This excludes wrapper composite fields as well as heading / help text fields.
No description
Return array of all field names
Add an extra field to a tab within this FieldList.
Add a number of extra fields to a tab within this FieldList.
Remove the given field from the given tab in the field.
Removes a number of fields from a Tab/TabSet within this FieldList.

Transform this FieldList with a given tranform method, e.g. $this->transform(new ReadonlyTransformation())
Returns the root field set that this belongs to
No description
Transforms this FieldList instance to readonly.
Change the order of fields in this FieldList by specifying an ordered list of field names.
Find the numerical position of a field within the children collection. Doesn't work recursively.
Default template rendering of a FieldList will concatenate all FieldHolder values.

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 144
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 172
array
allMethodNames(bool $custom = false)
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
in Extensible at line 163
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 224
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.

Get extra config sources for this class
in Extensible at line 359
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))
in Extensible at line 395
array
invokeWithExtensions(string $method, mixed $arguments)
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied {@link Extensions}, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
in Extensible at line 424
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 {@link __construct()} in {@link defineMethods()}.
in Extensible at line 465
Extension|null
getExtensionInstance(string $extension)
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
in Extensible at line 494
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(
in Extensible at line 508
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).
