$name |
string | The property name |
return | boolean | Whether the property is set |
---|
__set()
public method
#
Sets the value of a component property.

Attribute labels are mainly used for display purpose. For example, given an attribute
firstName
, we can declare a label First Name
which is more user-friendly and can
be displayed to end users.
By default an attribute label is generated using generateAttributeLabel(). This method allows you to explicitly specify attribute labels.
Note, in order to inherit labels defined in the parent class, a child class needs to
merge the parent labels with child labels using functions such as array_merge()
.

behaviors()
public method
#
Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.
Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.
The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:
'behaviorName' => [
'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
'property1' => 'value1',
'property2' => 'value2',

Note that a behavior class must extend from \craft\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.
Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

eagerLoadingMap()
public static method
#
Returns an array that maps source-to-target element IDs based on the given sub-property handle.
This method aids in the eager-loading of elements when performing an element query. The returned array should contain the following keys:
elementType
– the fully qualified class name of the element type that should be eager-loadedmap
– an array of element ID mappings, where each element is a sub-array withsource
andtarget
keys.criteria
(optional) – Any criteria parameters that should be applied to the element query when fetching the eager-loaded elements.

extraFields()
public method
#
Returns the list of fields that can be expanded further and returned by toArray().
This method is similar to fields() except that the list of fields returned by this method are not returned by default by toArray(). Only when field names to be expanded are explicitly specified when calling toArray(), will their values be exported.
The default implementation returns an empty array.
You may override this method to return a list of expandable fields based on some context information (e.g. the current application user).

protected craft\base\Field[] fieldLayoutFields ( )
return | craft\base\Field[] | This element’s fields |
---|
find()
public static method
#
Creates an craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface instance for query purpose.
The returned craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface instance can be further customized by calling
methods defined in craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface before one()
or all()
is called to return
populated craft\base\ElementInterface instances. For example,
// Find the entry whose ID is 5
$entry = Entry::find()->id(5)->one();
// Find all assets and order them by their filename:
$assets = Asset::find()
->orderBy('filename')
->all();
If you want to define custom criteria parameters for your elements, you can do so by overriding this method and returning a custom query class. For example,
class Product extends Element
{
public static function find()
{
// use ProductQuery instead of the default ElementQuery
return new ProductQuery(get_called_class());
}
}
You can also set default criteria parameters on the ElementQuery if you don’t have a need for a custom query class. For example,
class Customer extends ActiveRecord
{
public static function find()
{
return parent::find()->limit(50);
}
}
public static craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface find ( )
return | craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface | The newly created craft\elements\db\ElementQueryInterface instance. |
---|
findAll()
public static method
#
Returns a list of elements that match the specified ID(s) or a set of element criteria parameters.
The method accepts:
- an int: query by a single ID value and return an array containing the corresponding element (or an empty array if not found).
- an array of integers: query by a list of ID values and return the corresponding elements (or an empty array if none was found). Note that an empty array will result in an empty result as it will be interpreted as a search for primary keys and not an empty set of element criteria parameters.
- an array of name-value pairs: query by a set of parameter values and return an array of elements matching all of them (or an empty array if none was found).
Note that this method will automatically call the all()
method and return an array of
\craft\base\Element instances. For example,
// find the entries whose ID is 10
$entries = Entry::findAll(10);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entries = Entry::find()->id(10)->all();
// find the entries whose ID is 10, 11 or 12.
$entries = Entry::findAll([10, 11, 12]);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entries = Entry::find()->id([10, 11, 12]])->all();
// find users whose email ends in "example.com"
$users = User::findAll(['email' => '*example.com']);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$users = User::find()->email('*example.com')->all();

mixed | Refer to findOne() and findAll() for the explanation of this parameter |
$one |
boolean | Whether this method is called by findOne() or findAll() |
findOne()
public static method
#
Returns a single element instance by a primary key or a set of element criteria parameters.
The method accepts:
- an int: query by a single ID value and return the corresponding element (or null if not found).
- an array of name-value pairs: query by a set of parameter values and return the first element matching all of them (or null if not found).
Note that this method will automatically call the one()
method and return an
\craft\base\Element instance. For example,
// find a single entry whose ID is 10
$entry = Entry::findOne(10);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$entry = Entry::find->id(10)->one();
// find the first user whose email ends in "example.com"
$user = User::findOne(['email' => '*example.com']);
// the above code is equivalent to:
$user = User::find()->email('*example.com')->one();

getTableAttributeHtml()
public method
#
Returns the HTML that should be shown for a given attribute in Table View.
This method can be used to completely customize what actually shows up within the table’s body for a given
attribute, rather than simply showing the attribute’s raw value.
For example, if your elements have an “email” attribute that you want to wrap in a mailto:
link, your
getTableAttributesHtml() method could do this:
switch ($attribute) {
case 'email':
return $this->email ? '<a href="mailto:'.$this->email.'">'.$this->email.'</a>' : '';
// ...
}
return parent::getTableAttributeHtml($attribute);
craft\base\Element::getTableAttributeHtml() provides a couple handy attribute checks by default, so it is a good idea to let the parent method get called (as shown above). They are:
- If the attribute name is ‘link’ or ‘uri’, it will be linked to the front-end URL.
- If the attribute is a custom field handle, it will pass the responsibility off to the field class.
- If the attribute value is a DateTime object, the date will be formatted with a localized date format.
- For anything else, it will output the attribute value as a string.
public string getTableAttributeHtml ( \craft\base\string $attribute )
$attribute |
string | The attribute name. |
return | string | The HTML that should be shown for a given attribute in Table View. |

rules()
public method
#
Returns the validation rules for attributes.
Validation rules are used by validate() to check if attribute values are valid. Child classes may override this method to declare different validation rules.
Each rule is an array with the following structure:
[
['attribute1', 'attribute2'],
'validator type',
'on' => ['scenario1', 'scenario2'],
//...other parameters...
]
where
- attribute list: required, specifies the attributes array to be validated, for single attribute you can pass a string;
- validator type: required, specifies the validator to be used. It can be a built-in validator name, a method name of the model class, an anonymous function, or a validator class name.
- on: optional, specifies the \craft\base\scenario array in which the validation rule can be applied. If this option is not set, the rule will apply to all scenarios.
- additional name-value pairs can be specified to initialize the corresponding validator properties. Please refer to individual validator class API for possible properties.
A validator can be either an object of a class extending yii\validators\Validator, or a model class method (called inline validator) that has the following signature:
// $params refers to validation parameters given in the rule
function validatorName($attribute, $params)
In the above $attribute
refers to the attribute currently being validated while $params
contains an array of
validator configuration options such as max
in case of string
validator. The value of the attribute currently being validated
can be accessed as $this->$attribute
. Note the $
before attribute
; this is taking the value of the variable
$attribute
and using it as the name of the property to access.
Yii also provides a set of built-in validators. Each one has an alias name which can be used when specifying a validation rule.
Below are some examples:
[
// built-in "required" validator
[['username', 'password'], 'required'],
// built-in "string" validator customized with "min" and "max" properties
['username', 'string', 'min' => 3, 'max' => 12],
// built-in "compare" validator that is used in "register" scenario only
['password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute' => 'password2', 'on' => 'register'],
// an inline validator defined via the "authenticate()" method in the model class
['password', 'authenticate', 'on' => 'login'],
// a validator of class "DateRangeValidator"
['dateRange', 'DateRangeValidator'],
];
Note, in order to inherit rules defined in the parent class, a child class needs to
merge the parent rules with child rules using functions such as array_merge()
.
public array rules ( )
return | array | Validation rules |
---|
searchableAttributes()
public static method
#
Defines which element attributes should be searchable.
This method should return an array of attribute names that can be accessed on your elements. craft\services\Search will call this method when it is indexing keywords for one of your elements, and for each attribute it returns, it will fetch the corresponding property’s value on the element. For example, if your elements have a “color” attribute which you want to be indexed, this method could return:
return ['color'];
Not only will the “color” attribute’s values start getting indexed, but users will also be able to search directly against that attribute’s values using this search syntax:
color:blue
There is no need for this method to worry about the ‘title’ or ‘slug’ attributes, or custom field handles; those are indexed automatically.
public static string[] searchableAttributes ( )
return | string[] | The element attributes that should be searchable |

sortOptions()
public static method
#
Returns the sort options for the element type.
This method should return an array, where the keys reference database column names that should be sorted on, and where the values define the user-facing labels.
return [
'columnName1' => Craft::t('app', 'Attribute Label 1'),
'columnName2' => Craft::t('app', 'Attribute Label 2'),
];
If you want to sort by multilple columns simultaneously, you can specify multiple column names in the key, separated by commas.
return [
'columnName1, columnName2 asc' => Craft::t('app', 'Attribute Label 1'),
'columnName3' => Craft::t('app', 'Attribute Label 2'),
];
If you do that, you can specify the sort direction for the subsequent columns (asc
or desc
. There is no point
in specifying the sort direction for the first column, though, since the end user has full control over that.
Note that this method will only get called once for the entire index; not each time that a new source is
selected.

– The source’s key. This is the string that will be passed into the $source argument of actions(), indexHtml(), and defaultTableAttributes().label
– The human-facing label of the source.sites
– An array of site IDs that the source should be shown for, on multi-site element indexes. (Optional; by default the source will be shown for all sites.)criteria
– An array of element criteria parameters that the source should use when the source is selected. (Optional)data
– An array ofdata-X
attributes that should be set on the source’s<a>
tag in the source list’s, HTML, where each key is the name of the attribute (without the “data-” prefix), and each value is the value of the attribute. (Optional)defaultSort
– A string identifying the sort attribute that should be selected by default, or an array where the first value identifies the sort attribute, and the second determines which direction to sort by. (Optional)hasThumbs
– A bool that defines whether this source supports Thumbs View. (Use your element’s getThumbUrl() method to define your elements’ thumb URL.) (Optional)structureId
– The ID of the Structure that contains the elements in this source. If set, Structure View will be available to this source. (Optional)newChildUrl
– The URL that should be loaded when a usel select’s the “New child” menu option on an element in this source while it is in Structure View. (Optional)nested
– An array of sources that are nested within this one. Each nested source can have the same keys as top-level sources.

statuses()
public static method
#
Returns all of the possible statuses that elements of this type may have.
This method will be called when populating the Status menu on element indexes, for element types whose
hasStatuses() method returns true
. It will also be called when craft\elements\db\ElementQuery is querying for
elements, to ensure that its “status” parameter is set to a valid status.
It should return an array whose keys are the status values, and values are the human-facing status labels, or an array
with the following keys:
label
– The human-facing status label.color
– The status color (green, orange, red, yellow, pink, purple, blue, turquoise, light, grey, black, or white) You can customize the database query condition that should be applied for your custom statuses from craft\elements\db\ElementQuery::statusCondition().

tableAttributeHtml()
protected method
#
Returns the HTML that should be shown for a given attribute in Table View.
See also getTableAttributeHtml().
protected string tableAttributeHtml ( \craft\base\string $attribute )
$attribute |
string | The attribute name. |
return | string | The HTML that should be shown for a given attribute in Table View. |

tableAttributes()
public static method
#
Defines all of the available columns that can be shown in table views.
This method should return an array whose keys map to attribute names and database columns that can be sorted against when querying for elements, and whose values make up the table’s column headers. The first item that this array returns will just identify the database column name, and the table column’s header, but will not have any effect on what shows up in the table’s body. That’s because the first column is reserved for displaying whatever your element’s __toString() method returns. All other items besides the first one will also define which element attribute should be shown within the data cells. (The actual HTML to be shown can be customized with getTableAttributeHtml().)
public static array tableAttributes ( )
return | array | The table attributes. |
