trigger()source public

trigger( string|CakeEvent $callback , array $params array() , array $options array() )

Trigger a callback method on every object in the collection. Used to trigger methods on objects in the collection. Will fire the methods in the order they were attached.

Options

• breakOn Set to the value or values you want the callback propagation to stop on. Can either be a scalar value, or an array of values to break on. Defaults to false.

• break Set to true to enabled breaking. When a trigger is broken, the last returned value will be returned. If used in combination with collectReturn the collected results will be returned. Defaults to false.

• collectReturn Set to true to collect the return of each object into an array. This array of return values will be returned from the trigger() call. Defaults to false.

• modParams Allows each object the callback gets called on to modify the parameters to the next object. Setting modParams to an integer value will allow you to modify the parameter with that index. Any non-null value will modify the parameter index indicated. Defaults to false.

Parameters

string|CakeEvent $callback

Method to fire on all the objects. Its assumed all the objects implement the method you are calling. If an instance of CakeEvent is provided, then then Event name will parsed to get the callback name. This is done by getting the last word after any dot in the event name (eg. Model.afterSave event will trigger the afterSave callback)

array $params optional array()

Array of parameters for the triggered callback.
