Parameters

string $name: Name of template file in the /src/Template/Element/ folder, or MyPlugin.template to use the template element from MyPlugin. If the element is not found in the plugin, the normal view path cascade will be searched.

Or an array If an array, the following keys can be used: - config - Used to store the cached element in a custom cache configuration. - key - Used to define the key used in the Cache::write(). It will be prefixed with element_ - callbacks - Set to true to fire beforeRender and afterRender helper callbacks for this element.

Methods used from Cake\Routing\RequestActionTrait

requestAction() public ¶

requestAction( string|array $url , array $extra [] )

Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views or fetch the return value from controller actions.

Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()

Examples

A basic example getting the return value of the controller action:

$variables = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular');

A basic example of request action to fetch a rendered page without the layout.

$viewHtml = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', ['return']);

You can also pass the URL as an array:

$vars = $this->requestAction(['controller' => 'articles', 'action' => 'popular']);

Passing other request data

You can pass POST, GET, COOKIE and other data into the request using the appropriate keys. Cookies can be passed using the cookies key. Get parameters can be set with query and post data can be sent using the post key.

$vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
  'query' => ['page' => 1],
  'cookies' => ['remember_me' => 1],
]);

Sending environment or header values

By default actions dispatched with this method will use the global $_SERVER and $_ENV values. If you want to override those values for a request action, you can specify the values:

$vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
  'environment' => ['CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json']
]);

Transmitting the session

By default actions dispatched with this method will use the standard session object. If you want a particular session instance to be used, you need to specify it.

$vars = $this->requestAction('/articles/popular', [
  'session' => new Session($someSessionConfig)
]);

Deprecated

3.3.0 You should refactor your code to use View Cells instead of this method.

Parameters

string|array $url: String or array-based url. Unlike other url arrays in CakePHP, this url will not automatically handle passed arguments in the $url parameter.
array $extra optional []: if array includes the key "return" it sets the autoRender to true. Can also be used to submit GET/POST data, and passed arguments.

Returns

mixed

Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.
