$_locator
$_locator : \Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorInterface
LocatorInterface implementation instance.
Provides a registry/factory for Table objects.
This registry allows you to centralize the configuration for tables their connections and other meta-data.
You may need to configure your table objects, using TableRegistry you can centralize configuration. Any configuration set before instances are created will be used when creating instances. If you modify configuration after an instance is made, the instances will not be updated.
TableRegistry::config('Users', ['table' => 'my_users']);Configuration data is stored per alias if you use the same table with multiple aliases you will need to set configuration multiple times.
You can fetch instances out of the registry using get(). One instance is stored per alias. Once an alias is populated the same instance will always be returned. This is used to make the ORM use less memory and help make cyclic references easier to solve.
