This behavior provides a way to translate dynamic data by keeping translations in a separate table linked to the original record from another one. Translated fields can be configured to override those in the main table when fetched or put aside into another property for the same entity.
If you wish to override fields, you need to call the locale method in this behavior for setting the language you want to fetch from the translations table.
If you want to bring all or certain languages for each of the fetched records, you can use the custom translations finders that is exposed to the table.
$_defaultConfig protected array$_locale protected stringThe locale name that will be used to override fields in the bound table from the translations table
$_table protected $_translationTable protected Helper method used to generated multiple translated field entities out of the data found in the _translations property in the passed entity. The result will be put into its _i18n property
Returns the ids found for each of the condition arrays passed for the translations table. Each records is indexed by the corresponding position to the conditions array
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge the translated fields into each entity for a given locale.
_i18n property after the entity has been saved Callback method that listens to the beforeFind event in the bound table. It modifies the passed query by eager loading the translated fields and adding a formatter to copy the values into the main table records.
Modifies the entity before it is saved so that translated fields are persisted in the database too.
Add in _translations marshalling handlers. You can disable marshalling of translations by setting 'translations' => false in the options provided to Table::newEntity() or Table::patchEntity().
Custom finder method used to retrieve all translations for the found records. Fetched translations can be filtered by locale by passing the locales key in the options array.
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge full translation records into each entity under the _translations key
Sets all future finds for the bound table to also fetch translated fields for the passed locale. If no value is passed, it returns the currently configured locale
Sets the locale that should be used for all future find and save operations on the table where this behavior is attached to.
Creates the associations between the bound table and every field passed to this method.
__construct( Cake\ORM\Table $table , array $config = [] )
Constructor
Cake\ORM\Table $table $config optional [] Cake\ORM\Behavior::__construct() _bundleTranslatedFields( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity )
Helper method used to generated multiple translated field entities out of the data found in the _translations property in the passed entity. The result will be put into its _i18n property
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity _findExistingTranslations( array $ruleSet )
Returns the ids found for each of the condition arrays passed for the translations table. Each records is indexed by the corresponding position to the conditions array
$ruleSet _referenceName( Cake\ORM\Table $table )
Determine the reference name to use for a given table
The reference name is usually derived from the class name of the table object (PostsTable -> Posts), however for autotable instances it is derived from the database table the object points at - or as a last resort, the alias of the autotable instance.
Cake\ORM\Table $table _rowMapper( Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results , string $locale )
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge the translated fields into each entity for a given locale.
Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results $locale Cake\Collection\CollectionInterface_unsetEmptyFields( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity )
Unset empty translations to avoid persistence.
Should only be called if $this->_config['allowEmptyTranslations'] is false.
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity afterSave( Cake\Event\Event $event , Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity )
Unsets the temporary _i18n property after the entity has been saved
Cake\Event\Event $event Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity beforeFind( Cake\Event\Event $event , Cake\ORM\Query $query , ArrayObject $options )
Callback method that listens to the beforeFind event in the bound table. It modifies the passed query by eager loading the translated fields and adding a formatter to copy the values into the main table records.
Cake\Event\Event $event Cake\ORM\Query $query $options beforeSave( Cake\Event\Event $event , Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity , ArrayObject $options )
Modifies the entity before it is saved so that translated fields are persisted in the database too.
Cake\Event\Event $event Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity $options buildMarshalMap( Cake\ORM\Marshaller $marshaller , array $map , array $options )
Add in _translations marshalling handlers. You can disable marshalling of translations by setting 'translations' => false in the options provided to Table::newEntity() or Table::patchEntity().
Cake\ORM\Marshaller $marshaller $map $options [property => callable] of additional properties to marshal.Cake\ORM\PropertyMarshalInterface::buildMarshalMap() findTranslations( Cake\ORM\Query $query , array $options )
Custom finder method used to retrieve all translations for the found records. Fetched translations can be filtered by locale by passing the locales key in the options array.
Translated values will be found for each entity under the property _translations, containing an array indexed by locale name.
$article = $articles->find('translations', ['locales' => ['eng', 'deu'])->first();
$englishTranslatedFields = $article->get('_translations')['eng']; If the locales array is not passed, it will bring all translations found for each record.
Cake\ORM\Query $query $options Cake\ORM\QuerygetLocale( )
Returns the current locale.
If no locale has been explicitly set via setLocale(), this method will return the currently configured global locale.
groupTranslations( Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results )
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge full translation records into each entity under the _translations key
Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results Cake\Collection\CollectionInterfaceinitialize( array $config )
Initialize hook
$config Cake\ORM\Behavior::initialize() locale( string|null $locale = null )
Sets all future finds for the bound table to also fetch translated fields for the passed locale. If no value is passed, it returns the currently configured locale
$locale optional null setLocale( string|null $locale )
Sets the locale that should be used for all future find and save operations on the table where this behavior is attached to.
When fetching records, the behavior will include the content for the locale set via this method, and likewise when saving data, it will save the data in that locale.
Note that in case an entity has a _locale property set, that locale will win over the locale set via this method (and over the globally configured one for that matter)!
$locale The locale to use for fetching and saving records. Pass null in order to unset the current locale, and to make the behavior fall back to using the globally configured locale.
setupFieldAssociations( array $fields , string $table , string $model , string $strategy )
Creates the associations between the bound table and every field passed to this method.
Additionally it creates a i18n HasMany association that will be used for fetching all translations for each record in the bound table
$fields $table $model $strategy translationField( string $field )
Returns a fully aliased field name for translated fields.
If the requested field is configured as a translation field, the content field with an alias of a corresponding association is returned. Table-aliased field name is returned for all other fields.
$field _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
_resolveMethodAliases( string $key , array $defaults , array $config )
Removes aliased methods that would otherwise be duplicated by userland configuration.
$key $defaults $config getTable( )
Get the table instance this behavior is bound to.
Cake\ORM\TableimplementedEvents( )
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.
Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents() 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
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
verifyConfig( )
verifyConfig
Checks that implemented keys contain values pointing at callable.

Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterfacesetTableLocator( Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator )
Sets the table locator.
Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator tableLocator( Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface $tableLocator = null )
