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();
}
]
]
When using a lambda function you can return false to disable updating the counter value
for the current operation.
Ignore updating the field if it is dirty
[
'Users' => [
'posts_published' => [
'ignoreDirty' => true
]
]
]
You can disable counter updates entirely by sending the ignoreCounterCache option
to your save operation:
$this->Articles->save($article, ['ignoreCounterCache' => true]);

__construct() 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.
_reflectionCache() 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
Throws
_resolveMethodAliases() 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
A de-duped list of config data.
implementedEvents() 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
Implementation of
implementedFinders() 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
Throws
implementedMethods() 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
Throws

initialize( array $config )
Constructor hook method.

Parameters
- array $config

verifyConfig() public ¶
verifyConfig( )
verifyConfig
Checks that implemented keys contain values pointing at callable.
Throws
