class File extends DataObject implements AssetContainer, Thumbnail, CMSPreviewable, PermissionProvider, Resettable mixin Hierarchy mixin Versioned mixin RecursivePublishable mixin InheritedPermissionsExtension (View source)

This class handles the representation of a file on the filesystem within the framework.

Most of the methods also handle the Folder subclass.

Note: The files are stored in the assets/ directory, but SilverStripe looks at the db object to gather information about a file such as URL It then uses this for all processing functions (like image manipulation).

Security

Caution: It is recommended to disable any script execution in the "assets/" directory in the webserver configuration, to reduce the risk of exploits. See http://doc.silverstripe.org/secure-development#filesystem

Asset storage

As asset storage is configured separately to any File DataObject records, this class does not make any assumptions about how these records are saved. They could be on a local filesystem, remote filesystem, or a virtual record container (such as in local memory).

The File dataobject simply represents an externally facing view of shared resources within this asset store.

Internally individual files are referenced by a"Filename" parameter, which represents a File, extension, and is optionally prefixed by a list of custom directories. This path is root-agnostic, so it does not automatically have a direct url mapping (even to the site's base directory).

Additionally, individual files may have several versions distinguished by sha1 hash, of which a File DataObject can point to a single one. Files can also be distinguished by variants, which may be resized images or format-shifted documents.

Properties

  • "Title": Optional title of the file (for display purposes only). Defaults to "Name". Note that the Title field of Folder (subclass of File) is linked to Name, so Name and Title will always be the same. -"File": Physical asset backing this DB record. This is a composite DB field with its own list of properties. {\SilverStripe\Assets\Storage\DBFile} for more information
  • "Content": Typically unused, but handy for a textual representation of files, e.g. for fulltext indexing of PDF documents.
  • "ParentID": Points to a Folder record. Should be in sync with "Filename". A ParentID=0 value points to the "assets/" folder, not the webroot. -"ShowInSearch": True if this file is searchable

Traits

Provides image manipulation functionality.

This trait can be applied to a ViewableData class to add the logic to render attributes in an SS template.

Allows an object to have extensions applied to it.

A class that can be instantiated or replaced via DI

Provides extensions to this object to integrate it with standard config API methods.

Allows an object to declare a set of custom methods

Constants

CHANGE_NONE

Represents a field that hasn't changed (before === after, thus before == after)

CHANGE_STRICT

Represents a field that has changed type, although not the loosely defined value.

(before !== after && before == after) E.g. change 1 to true or "true" to true, but not true to 0. Value changes are by nature also considered strict changes.

CHANGE_VALUE

Represents a field that has changed the loosely defined value (before != after, thus, before !== after)) E.g. change false to true, but not false to 0

CREATE_OBJECT

Value for 2nd argument to constructor, indicating that a new record is being created Setters will be called on fields passed, and defaults will be populated

CREATE_SINGLETON

Value for 2nd argument to constructor, indicating that a record is a singleton representing the whole type, e.g. to call requireTable() in dev/build Defaults will not be populated and data passed will be ignored

CREATE_HYDRATED

Value for 2nd argument to constructor, indicating that a record is being hydrated from the database Setter methods are not called, and population via private static $defaults will not occur.

CREATE_MEMORY_HYDRATED

Value for 2nd argument to constructor, indicating that a record is being hydrated from memory. This can be used to initialised a record that doesn't yet have an ID. Setter methods are not called, and population via private static $defaults will not occur.

EDIT_ALL

Permission for edit all files

mixed __call(string $method, array $arguments)

Attempts to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located

You can add extra methods to a class using Extensions}, {@link Object::createMethod() or Object::addWrapperMethod()

Parameters

string $method
array $arguments

Return Value

mixed

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException

protected defineMethods()

Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.

All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().

protected registerExtraMethodCallback(string $name, callable $callback)

Register an callback to invoke that defines extra methods

Parameters

string $name
callable $callback

bool hasMethod(string $method)

Return TRUE if a method exists on this object

This should be used rather than PHP's inbuild method_exists() as it takes into account methods added via extensions

Parameters

string $method

Return Value

bool

protected array getExtraMethodConfig(string $method)

Get meta-data details on a named method

Parameters

string $method

Return Value

array

List of custom method details, if defined for this method

Parameters

string $property

the property name

string|int $index

protected addWrapperMethod(string $method, string $wrap)

Add a wrapper method - a method which points to another method with a different name. For example, Thumbnail(x) can be wrapped to generateThumbnail(x)

Parameters

string $method

the method name to wrap

string $wrap

the method name to wrap to

protected addCallbackMethod(string $method, callable $callback)

Add callback as a method.

Parameters

No description

protected defineExtensionMethods()

Adds any methods from Extension instances attached to this object.

All these methods can then be called directly on the instance (transparently mapped through __call()}), or called explicitly through {@link extend().

static bool add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)

Add an extension to a specific class.

The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.

As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the Object::$extensions array. See SiteTree::$extensions for examples. Keep in mind that the extension will only be applied to new instances, not existing ones (including all instances created through singleton()).

Parameters

string $classOrExtension

Class that should be extended - has to be a subclass of Object

string $extension

Subclass of Extension with optional parameters as a string, e.g. "Versioned" or "Translatable('Param')"

Return Value

bool

Flag if the extension was added

See also

http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/trunk/reference/dataextension

static remove_extension(string $extension)

Remove an extension from a class.

Note: This will not remove extensions from parent classes, and must be called directly on the class assigned the extension.

Keep in mind that this won't revert any datamodel additions of the extension at runtime, unless its used before the schema building kicks in (in your _config.php). Doesn't remove the extension from any Object instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through singleton() to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

Add support for removing extensions with parameters

Parameters

string $extension

class name of an Extension subclass, without parameters

static array get_extensions(string $class = null, bool $includeArgumentString = false)

No description

Parameters

string $class

If omitted, will get extensions for the current class

bool $includeArgumentString

Include the argument string in the return array, FALSE would return array("Versioned"), TRUE returns array("Versioned('Stage','Live')").

Return Value

array

Numeric array of either DataExtension class names, or eval'ed class name strings with constructor arguments.

static array|null get_extra_config_sources(string $class = null)

Get extra config sources for this class

Parameters

string $class

Name of class. If left null will return for the current class

Return Value

array|null

static bool has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, bool $strict = false)

Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.

This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))

Parameters

string $classOrExtension

Class to check extension for, or the extension name to check if the second argument is null.

string $requiredExtension

If the first argument is the parent class, this is the extension to check. If left null, the first parameter will be treated as the extension.

bool $strict

if the extension has to match the required extension and not be a subclass

Return Value

bool

Flag if the extension exists

array invokeWithExtensions(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)

Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied Extensions, and then attempts to merge all results into an array

Parameters

string $method

the method name to call

mixed $a1
mixed $a2
mixed $a3
mixed $a4
mixed $a5
mixed $a6
mixed $a7

Return Value

array

List of results with nulls filtered out

array extend(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)

Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed

Currently returns an array, with an index resulting every time the function is called. Only adds returns if they're not NULL, to avoid bogus results from methods just defined on the parent extension. This is important for permission-checks through extend, as they use min() to determine if any of the returns is FALSE. As min() doesn't do type checking, an included NULL return would fail the permission checks.

The extension methods are defined during __construct()} in {@link defineMethods().

Parameters

string $method

the name of the method to call on each extension

mixed $a1
mixed $a2
mixed $a3
mixed $a4
mixed $a5
mixed $a6
mixed $a7

Return Value

array

Extension|null getExtensionInstance(string $extension)

Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.

Parameters

string $extension

Return Value

Extension|null

bool hasExtension(string $extension)

Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.

Caution: Don't use singleton()->hasExtension() as it will give you inconsistent results based on when the singleton was first accessed.

Parameters

string $extension

Classname of an Extension subclass without parameters

Return Value

bool

Extension[] getExtensionInstances()

Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.

See get_extensions() to get all applied extension classes for this class (not the instance).

This method also provides lazy-population of the extension_instances property.

Return Value

Extension[]

Map of DataExtension instances, keyed by classname.

static Injectable create(mixed ...$args)

An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class

This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.

This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create(SiteTree::class); $list = SiteTree::get();

Parameters

mixed ...$args

Return Value

Injectable

static Injectable singleton(string $class = null)

string

string getClassName()

Gets name of this class

Return Value

string

$this setClassName(string $className)

Set the ClassName attribute. $class is also updated.

Warning: This will produce an inconsistent record, as the object instance will not automatically switch to the new subclass. Please use newClassInstance() for this purpose, or destroy and reinstanciate the record.

Parameters

string $className

The new ClassName attribute (a subclass of DataObject)

Return Value

$this

DataObject newClassInstance(string $newClassName)

Create a new instance of a different class from this object's record.

This is useful when dynamically changing the type of an instance. Specifically, it ensures that the instance of the class is a match for the className of the record. Don't set the DataObject->class} or {@link DataObject->ClassName property manually before calling this method, as it will confuse change detection.

If the new class is different to the original class, defaults are populated again because this will only occur automatically on instantiation of a DataObject if there is no record, or the record has no ID. In this case, we do have an ID but we still need to repopulate the defaults.

Parameters

string $newClassName

The name of the new class

Return Value

DataObject

The new instance of the new class, The exact type will be of the class name provided.

Get the user friendly plural name of this DataObject If the name is not defined (by renaming $plural_name in the subclass), this returns a pluralised version of the class name.

Return Value

string

User friendly plural name of this DataObject

string i18n_plural_name()

function getTitle() {
  return "{$this->StreetNumber} {$this->StreetName} {$this->City}";
}

Return Value

string

DataObject data()

Returns the associated database record - in this case, the object itself.

This is included so that you can call $dataOrController->data() and get a DataObject all the time.

Note that it has the following quirks:

  • custom getters, including those that adjust the result of database fields, won't be executed
  • NULL values won't be returned.

Return Value

array

The data as a map.

array getQueriedDatabaseFields()

Return all currently fetched database fields.

This function is similar to toMap() but doesn't trigger the lazy-loading of all unfetched fields. Obviously, this makes it a lot faster.

Return Value

array

The data as a map.

DataObject update(array $data)

Update a number of fields on this object, given a map of the desired changes.

The field names can be simple names, or you can use a dot syntax to access $has_one relations. For example, array("Author.FirstName" => "Jim") will set $this->Author()->FirstName to "Jim".

Doesn't write the main object, but if you use the dot syntax, it will write() the related objects that it alters.

When using this method with user supplied data, it's very important to whitelist the allowed keys.

Parameters

array $data

A map of field name to data values to update.

Return Value

DataObject $this

DataObject castedUpdate(array $data)

Pass changes as a map, and try to get automatic casting for these fields.

Doesn't write to the database. To write the data, use the write() method.

Parameters

array $data

A map of field name to data values to update.

Return Value

DataObject $this

bool merge(DataObject $rightObj, string $priority = 'right', bool $includeRelations = true, bool $overwriteWithEmpty = false)

Merges data and relations from another object of same class, without conflict resolution. Allows to specify which dataset takes priority in case its not empty.

has_one-relations are just transferred with priority 'right'. has_many and many_many-relations are added regardless of priority.

Caution: has_many/many_many relations are moved rather than duplicated, meaning they are not connected to the merged object any longer. Caution: Just saves updated has_many/many_many relations to the database, doesn't write the updated object itself (just writes the object-properties). Caution: Does not delete the merged object. Caution: Does now overwrite Created date on the original object.

Parameters

DataObject $rightObj
string $priority

left|right Determines who wins in case of a conflict (optional)

bool $includeRelations

Merge any existing relations (optional)

bool $overwriteWithEmpty

Overwrite existing left values with empty right values. Only applicable with $priority='right'. (optional)

Return Value

bool

Parameters

string $fieldName
mixed $value

New field value

Return Value

$this

bool hasDatabaseField(string $field)

Parameters

string $fieldPath

List of paths on this object. All items in this path must be ViewableData implementors

Return Value

mixed

DBField of the field on the object or a DataList instance.

DataList

The objects matching the filter, in the class specified by $containerClass

static DataObject|null get_one(string $callerClass, string|array $filter = "", bool $cache = true, string $orderby = "")

Return the first item matching the given query.

The object returned is cached, unlike DataObject::get()->first() DataList::first() and DataObject::get()->last() DataList::last()

The filter argument supports parameterised queries (see SQLSelect::addWhere() for syntax examples). Because of that (and differently from e.g. DataList::filter()) you need to manually escape the field names:

$member = DataObject::get_one('Member', [ '"FirstName"' => 'John' ]);

Parameters

string $callerClass

The class of objects to be returned

string|array $filter

A filter to be inserted into the WHERE clause.

bool $cache

Use caching

string $orderby

A sort expression to be inserted into the ORDER BY clause.

Return Value

DataObject|null

The first item matching the query

DataObject flushCache(bool $persistent = true)

Flush the cached results for all relations (has_one, has_many, many_many) Also clears any cached aggregate data.

Parameters

bool $persistent

When true will also clear persistent data stored in the Cache system. When false will just clear session-local cached data

Return Value

DataObject $this

static flush_and_destroy_cache()

Flush the get_one global cache and destroy associated objects.

static reset()

Reset all global caches associated with DataObject.

static DataObject|null get_by_id(string|int $classOrID, int|bool $idOrCache = null, bool $cache = true)

Return the given element, searching by ID.

This can be called either via DataObject::get_by_id(MyClass::class, $id) or MyClass::get_by_id($id)

The object returned is cached, unlike DataObject::get()->byID() DataList::byID()

Parameters

string|int $classOrID

The class of the object to be returned, or id if called on target class

int|bool $idOrCache

The id of the element, or cache if called on target class

bool $cache

See get_one()

requireTable()

Check the database schema and update it as necessary.

requireDefaultRecords()

Add default records to database. This function is called whenever the database is built, after the database tables have all been created. Overload this to add default records when the database is built, but make sure you call parent::requireDefaultRecords().

onAfterBuild()

Invoked after every database build is complete (including after table creation and default record population).

See DatabaseAdmin::doBuild() for context.

array searchableFields()

Get the default searchable fields for this object, as defined in the $searchable_fields list. If searchable fields are not defined on the data object, uses a default selection of summary fields.

Return Value

array

array fieldLabels(bool $includerelations = true)

Get any user defined searchable fields labels that exist. Allows overriding of default field names in the form interface actually presented to the user.

The reason for keeping this separate from searchable_fields, which would be a logical place for this functionality, is to avoid bloating and complicating the configuration array. Currently much of this system is based on sensible defaults, and this property would generally only be set in the case of more complex relationships between data object being required in the search interface.

Generates labels based on name of the field itself, if no static property self::field_labels exists.

Parameters

bool $includerelations

a boolean value to indicate if the labels returned include relation fields

Return Value

array

Array of all element labels

string fieldLabel(string $name)

Get a human-readable label for a single field, see fieldLabels() for more details.

Parameters

string $name

Name of the field

Return Value

string

Label of the field

array summaryFields()

Get the default summary fields for this object.

use the translation apparatus to return a default field selection for the language

Return Value

array

array defaultSearchFilters()

array provideI18nEntities()

Returns the list of provided translations for this object.

Note: Pluralised forms are always returned in array format.

Example usage:

class MyTestClass implements i18nEntityProvider
{
  public function provideI18nEntities()
  {
    $entities = [];
    foreach($this->config()->get('my_static_array') as $key => $value) {
      $entities["MyTestClass.my_static_array_{$key}"] = $value;
    }
    $entities["MyTestClass.PLURALS"] = [
      'one' => 'A test class',
      'other' => '{count} test classes',
    ]
    return $entities;
  }
}

Example usage in DataObject->provideI18nEntities().

You can ask textcollector to add the provided entity to a different module. Simply wrap the returned value for any item in an array with the format: [ 'default' => $defaultValue, 'module' => $module ]

class MyTestClass implements i18nEntityProvider
{
  public function provideI18nEntities()
  {
    $entities = [
      'MyOtherModuleClass.MYENTITY' => [
