Class CounterCacheBehavior
CounterCache behavior
Enables models to cache the amount of connections in a given relation.
Examples with Post model belonging to User model
Regular counter cache
[ 'Users' => [ 'post_count' ] ]
Counter cache with scope
[ 'Users' => [ 'posts_published' => [ 'conditions' => [ 'published' => true ] ] ] ]
Counter cache using custom find
[ 'Users' => [ 'posts_published' => [ 'finder' => 'published' // Will be using findPublished() ] ] ]
Counter cache using lambda function returning the count This is equivalent to example #2
[ 'Users' => [ 'posts_published' => function (Event $event, EntityInterface $entity, Table $table) { $query = $table->find('all')->where([ 'published' => true, 'user_id' => $entity->get('user_id') ]); return $query->count(); } ] ]

__constructsource public
__construct( Cake\ORM\Table $table , array $config [] )
Constructor
Merges config with the default and store in the config property
Parameters
-
Cake\ORM\Table
$table
- The table this behavior is attached to.
- array
$config
optional [] - The config for this behavior.
_reflectionCachesource protected
_reflectionCache( )
Gets the methods implemented by this behavior
Uses the implementedEvents() method to exclude callback methods. Methods starting with _
will be ignored, as will methods declared on Cake\ORM\Behavior
Returns
array
array
_resolveMethodAliasessource protected
_resolveMethodAliases( string $key , array $defaults , array $config )
Removes aliased methods that would otherwise be duplicated by userland configuration.
Parameters
- string
$key
- The key to filter.
- array
$defaults
- The default method mappings.
- array
$config
- The customized method mappings.
Returns
array
A de-duped list of config data.
implementedEventssource public
implementedEvents( )
Gets the Model callbacks this behavior is interested in.
By defining one of the callback methods a behavior is assumed to be interested in the related event.
Override this method if you need to add non-conventional event listeners. Or if you want your behavior to listen to non-standard events.
Returns
array
array
Implementation of
Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents()
implementedFinderssource public
implementedFinders( )
implementedFinders
Provides an alias->methodname map of which finders a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'this' => 'findThis', 'alias' => 'findMethodName' ]
With the above example, a call to $Table->find('this')
will call $Behavior->findThis()
and a call to $Table->find('alias')
will call $Behavior->findMethodName()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
Returns
array
array
implementedMethodssource public
implementedMethods( )
implementedMethods
Provides an alias->methodname map of which methods a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'method' => 'method', 'aliasedmethod' => 'somethingElse' ]
With the above example, a call to $Table->method()
will call $Behavior->method()
and a call to $Table->aliasedmethod()
will call $Behavior->somethingElse()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
Returns
array
array
initializesource public
initialize( array $config )
Constructor hook method.
Implement this method to avoid having to overwrite the constructor and call parent.
Parameters
- array
$config
- The configuration settings provided to this behavior.
verifyConfigsource public
verifyConfig( )
verifyConfig
Checks that implemented keys contain values pointing at callable.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if config are invalid
Methods used from Cake\Core\InstanceConfigTrait
_configDeletesource protected
_configDelete( string $key )
Delete a single config key
Parameters
- string
$key
- Key to delete.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if attempting to clobber existing config
_configReadsource protected
_configRead( string|null $key )
Read a config variable

- Key to read.
Returns
mixed
mixed
_configWritesource protected
_configWrite( string|array $key , mixed $value , boolean|string $merge false )
Write a config variable
Parameters
- string|array
$key
- Key to write to.
- mixed
$value
- Value to write.
- boolean|string
$merge
optional false - True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if attempting to clobber existing config
configsource public
config( string|array|null $key null , mixed|null $value null , boolean $merge true )
Usage
Reading the whole config:
$this->config();
Reading a specific value:
$this->config('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key');
Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
- string|array|null
$key
optional null - The key to get/set, or a complete array of configs.
- mixed|null
$value
optional null - The value to set.
- boolean
$merge
optional true - Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.
Returns
mixed
Config value being read, or the object itself on write operations.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
When trying to set a key that is invalid.
configShallowsource public
configShallow( string|array $key , mixed|null $value null )
Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config()
which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
Parameters
- string|array
$key
- The key to set, or a complete array of configs.
- mixed|null
$value
optional null - The value to set.
Returns
mixed
$this The object itself.

protected array
Default configuration
These are merged with user-provided configuration when the behavior is used.
