Class ConnectionManager

alias()source public static

alias( string $alias , string $source )

Set one or more connection aliases.

Connection aliases allow you to rename active connections without overwriting the aliased connection. This is most useful in the test-suite for replacing connections with their test variant.

Defined aliases will take precedence over normal connection names. For example, if you alias 'default' to 'test', fetching 'default' will always return the 'test' connection as long as the alias is defined.

You can remove aliases with ConnectionManager::dropAlias().

Usage

// Make 'things' resolve to 'test_things' connection
ConnectionManager::alias('test_things', 'things');

Parameters

string $alias

The alias to add. Fetching $source will return $alias when loaded with get.

string $source

The connection to add an alias to.

Throws

Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigException

When aliasing a connection that does not exist.

dropAlias()source public static

dropAlias( string $name )

Drop an alias.

Removes an alias from ConnectionManager. Fetching the aliased connection may fail if there is no other connection with that name.

Parameters

string $name

The connection name to remove aliases for.

get()source public static

get( string $name , boolean $useAliases true )

Get a connection.

If the connection has not been constructed an instance will be added to the registry. This method will use any aliases that have been defined. If you want the original unaliased connections pass false as second parameter.

Parameters

string $name

The connection name.

boolean $useAliases optional true

Set to false to not use aliased connections.

Returns

Cake\Datasource\ConnectionInterface
A connection object.

Throws

Cake\Datasource\Exception\MissingDatasourceConfigException

When config data is missing.

parseDsn()source public static

parseDsn( string|null $config null )

Parses a DSN into a valid connection configuration

This method allows setting a DSN using formatting similar to that used by PEAR::DB. The following is an example of its usage:

$dsn = 'mysql://user:pass@localhost/database';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql://localhost:3306/database?className=Cake\Database\Connection';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);

$dsn = 'Cake\Database\Connection://localhost:3306/database?driver=Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql';
$config = ConnectionManager::parseDsn($dsn);

For all classes, the value of scheme is set as the value of both the className and driver unless they have been otherwise specified.

Note that query-string arguments are also parsed and set as values in the returned configuration.

Parameters

string|null $config optional null

The DSN string to convert to a configuration array

Returns

array
The configuration array to be stored after parsing the DSN

setConfig()source public static

setConfig( string|array $key , array|null $config null )

Configure a new connection object.

The connection will not be constructed until it is first used.

Parameters

string|array $key

The name of the connection config, or an array of multiple configs.

array|null $config optional null

An array of name => config data for adapter.

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
When trying to modify an existing config.

See

\Cake\Core\StaticConfigTrait::config()

config()source public static

config( string|array $key , array|null $config null )

This method can be used to define configuration adapters for an application or read existing configuration.

To change an adapter's configuration at runtime, first drop the adapter and then reconfigure it.

Adapters will not be constructed until the first operation is done.

Usage

Assuming that the class' name is Cache the following scenarios are supported:

Reading config data back:

Cache::config('default');

Setting a cache engine up.

Cache::config('default', $settings);

Injecting a constructed adapter in:

Cache::config('default', $instance);

Configure multiple adapters at once:

Cache::config($arrayOfConfig);

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use setConfig()/getConfig() instead.

Parameters

string|array $key

The name of the configuration, or an array of multiple configs.

array|null $config optional null

An array of name => configuration data for adapter.

Returns

array|null
Null when adding configuration or an array of configuration data when reading.

Throws

BadMethodCallException
When trying to modify an existing config.

configured()source public static

configured( )

Returns an array containing the named configurations

Returns

array
Array of configurations.

drop()source public static

drop( string $config )

Drops a constructed adapter.

If you wish to modify an existing configuration, you should drop it, change configuration and then re-add it.

If the implementing objects supports a $_registry object the named configuration will also be unloaded from the registry.

Parameters

string $config

An existing configuration you wish to remove.

Returns

boolean
Success of the removal, returns false when the config does not exist.

dsnClassMap()source public static

dsnClassMap( array $map null )

Returns or updates the DSN class map for this class.

Deprecated

3.4.0 Use setDsnClassMap()/getDsnClassMap() instead.

Parameters

array $map optional null

Additions/edits to the class map to apply.

Returns

array

getConfig()source public static

getConfig( string $key )

Reads existing configuration.

Parameters

string $key

The name of the configuration.

Returns

array|null
Array of configuration data.

getDsnClassMap()source public static

getDsnClassMap( )

Returns the DSN class map for this class.

Returns

array

setDsnClassMap()source public static

setDsnClassMap( array $map )

Updates the DSN class map for this class.

Parameters

array $map

Additions/edits to the class map to apply.
