$_typeMap
$_typeMap : \Cake\Database\TypeMap
Represents a SQL Query expression. Internally it stores a tree of expressions that can be compiled by converting this object to string and will contain a correctly parenthesized and nested expression.
$_typeMap : \Cake\Database\TypeMap
setTypeMap(array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap $typeMap) : $this
Creates a new TypeMap if $typeMap is an array, otherwise exchanges it for the given one.
| array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap | $typeMap | Creates a TypeMap if array, otherwise sets the given TypeMap |
getTypeMap() : \Cake\Database\TypeMap
Returns the existing type map.
typeMap(array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap|null $typeMap = null) : $this|\Cake\Database\TypeMap
Creates a new TypeMap if $typeMap is an array, otherwise returns the existing type map or exchanges it for the given one.
| array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap|null | $typeMap | Creates a TypeMap if array, otherwise sets the given TypeMap |
__construct(string|array|\Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $conditions = array(), array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap $types = array(), string $conjunction = 'AND')
Constructor. A new expression object can be created without any params and be built dynamically. Otherwise it is possible to pass an array of conditions containing either a tree-like array structure to be parsed and/or other expression objects. Optionally, you can set the conjunction keyword to be used for joining each part of this level of the expression tree.
| string|array|\Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface | $conditions | tree-like array structure containing all the conditions to be added or nested inside this expression object. |
| array|\Cake\Database\TypeMap | $types | associative array of types to be associated with the values passed in $conditions. |
| string | $conjunction | the glue that will join all the string conditions at this level of the expression tree. For example "AND", "OR", "XOR"... |
tieWith(string|null $conjunction = null) : string|$this
Changes the conjunction for the conditions at this level of the expression tree.
If called with no arguments it will return the currently configured value.
| string|null | $conjunction | value to be used for joining conditions. If null it will not set any value, but return the currently stored one |
add(string|array|\Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface $conditions, array $types = array()) : $this
Adds one or more conditions to this expression object. Conditions can be expressed in a one dimensional array, that will cause all conditions to be added directly at this level of the tree or they can be nested arbitrarily making it create more expression objects that will be nested inside and configured to use the specified conjunction.
If the type passed for any of the fields is expressed "type[]" (note braces) then it will cause the placeholder to be re-written dynamically so if the value is an array, it will create as many placeholders as values are in it.

traverse(callable $callable) : void
Traverses the tree structure of this query expression by executing a callback function for each of the conditions that are included in this object.

iterateParts(callable $callable) : $this
Executes a callable function for each of the parts that form this expression.
The callable function is required to return a value with which the currently visited part will be replaced. If the callable function returns null then the part will be discarded completely from this expression.
The callback function will receive each of the conditions as first param and the key as second param. It is possible to declare the second parameter as passed by reference, this will enable you to change the key under which the modified part is stored.

_parseCondition(string $field, mixed $value) : string|\Cake\Database\ExpressionInterface

| string | $field | The value from with the actual field and operator will be extracted. |
| mixed | $value | The value to be bound to a placeholder for the field |
