$_priority
$_priority : integer
Priority is set high to allow other filters to be called first.
A dispatcher filter that builds the controller to dispatch in the request.
This filter resolves the request parameters into a controller instance and attaches it to the event object.
implementedEvents() : array
Returns the list of events this filter listens to.
Dispatcher notifies 2 different events Dispatcher.before
and Dispatcher.after
.
By default this class will attach preDispatch
and postDispatch
method respectively.
Override this method at will to only listen to the events you are interested in.
handle(\Cake\Event\Event $event) : mixed
Handler method that applies conditions and resolves the correct method to call.
\Cake\Event\Event | $event | The event instance. |
matches(\Cake\Event\Event $event) : boolean
Check to see if the incoming request matches this filter's criteria.
\Cake\Event\Event | $event | The event to match. |
beforeDispatch(\Cake\Event\Event $event) : void
Resolve the request parameters into a controller and attach the controller to the event object.
If used with default priority, it will be called after the Router has parsed the URL and set the routing params into the request object.
If a Cake\Http\Response object instance is returned, it will be served at the end of the event cycle, not calling any controller as a result. This will also have the effect of not calling the after event in the dispatcher.
If false is returned, the event will be stopped and no more listeners will be notified.
Alternatively you can call $event->stopPropagation()
to achieve the same result.
\Cake\Event\Event | $event | The event instance. |
afterDispatch(\Cake\Event\Event $event) : void
Method called after the controller served a request and generated a response.
It is possible to alter the response object at this point as it is not sent to the client yet.
If false is returned, the event will be stopped and no more listeners will be notified.
Alternatively you can call $event->stopPropagation()
to achieve the same result.

setConfig(string|array $key, mixed|null $value = null, boolean $merge = true) : $this
Sets the config.
Setting a specific value:
$this->setConfig('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
string|array | $key | The key to set, or a complete array of configs. |
mixed|null | $value | The value to set. |
boolean | $merge | Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true. |
When trying to set a key that is invalid.
getConfig(string|null $key = null, mixed $default = null) : mixed
Returns the config.
Reading the whole config:
$this->getConfig();
Reading a specific value:
$this->getConfig('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');
Reading with default value:
$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');
string|null | $key | The key to get or null for the whole config. |
mixed | $default | The return value when the key does not exist. |
Config value being read.
config(string|array|null $key = null, mixed|null $value = null, boolean $merge = true) : mixed
Gets/Sets the config.
Reading the whole config:
$this->config();
Reading a specific value:
$this->config('key');
Reading a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key');
Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
string|array|null | $key | The key to get/set, or a complete array of configs. |
mixed|null | $value | The value to set. |
boolean | $merge | Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true. |
When trying to set a key that is invalid.
Config value being read, or the object itself on write operations.
configShallow(string|array $key, mixed|null $value = null) : $this
Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike `config()` which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.
Setting a specific value:
$this->configShallow('key', $value);
Setting a nested value:
$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);
Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
string|array | $key | The key to set, or a complete array of configs. |
mixed|null | $value | The value to set. |
None found |
_configRead(string|null $key) : mixed
Reads a config key.
string|null | $key | Key to read. |
None found |
_configWrite(string|array $key, mixed $value, boolean|string $merge = false) : void
Writes a config key.
string|array | $key | Key to write to. |
mixed | $value | Value to write. |
boolean|string | $merge | True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false. |
if attempting to clobber existing config
None found |
_configDelete(string $key) : void
Deletes a single config key.
string | $key | Key to delete. |
if attempting to clobber existing config
None found |
_getController(\Cake\Http\ServerRequest $request, \Cake\Http\Response $response) : \Cake\Controller\Controller
Gets controller to use, either plugin or application controller.
\Cake\Http\ServerRequest | $request | Request object |
\Cake\Http\Response | $response | Response for the controller. |
None found |
