$_templatePath
$_templatePath : string|null
The subdirectory to the template.
Provides an API for iteratively building a view up.
Once you have configured the view and established all the context
you can create a view instance with build().
enableAutoLayout(boolean $enable = true) : $this
Turns on or off CakePHP's conventional mode of applying layout files.
On by default. Setting to off means that layouts will not be automatically applied to rendered views.
| boolean | $enable | Boolean to turn on/off. |
autoLayout(boolean|null $enable = null) : boolean|$this
Turns on or off CakePHP's conventional mode of applying layout files.
On by default. Setting to off means that layouts will not be automatically applied to rendered views.
| boolean|null | $enable | Boolean to turn on/off. If null returns current value. |
template(string|null $name = null) : string|$this
Get/set the name of the view file to render. The name specified is the filename in /src/Template/<SubFolder> without the .ctp extension.
| string|null | $name | View file name to set. If null returns current name. |
layout(string|null $name = null) : string|$this
Get/set the name of the layout file to render the view inside of.
The name specified is the filename of the layout in /src/Template/Layout without the .ctp extension.
| string|null | $name | Layout file name to set. If null returns current name. |
setOptions(array $options, boolean $merge = true) : $this
Sets additional options for the view.
This lets you provide custom constructor arguments to application/plugin view classes.
| array | $options | An array of options. |
| boolean | $merge | Whether or not to merge existing data with the new data. |
options(array|null $options = null, boolean $merge = true) : array|$this
Set additional options for the view.
This lets you provide custom constructor arguments to application/plugin view classes.
| array|null | $options | Either an array of options or null to get current options. |
| boolean | $merge | Whether or not to merge existing data with the new data. |
setClassName(string|null $name) : $this
Sets the view classname.
Accepts either a short name (Ajax) a plugin name (MyPlugin.Ajax) or a fully namespaced name (App\View\AppView) or null to use the View class provided by CakePHP.
| string|null | $name | The class name for the view. |
className(string|null $name = null) : string|$this
Get/set the view classname.
Accepts either a short name (Ajax) a plugin name (MyPlugin.Ajax) or a fully namespaced name (App\View\AppView).
| string|null | $name | The class name for the view. Can be a plugin.class name reference, a short alias, or a fully namespaced name. |
build(array $vars = array(), \Cake\Http\ServerRequest|null $request = null, \Cake\Http\Response|null $response = null, \Cake\Event\EventManager|null $events = null) : \Cake\View\View
Using the data in the builder, create a view instance.
If className() is null, App\View\AppView will be used. If that class does not exist, then Cake\View\View will be used.
| array | $vars | The view variables/context to use. |
| \Cake\Http\ServerRequest|null | $request | The request to use. |
| \Cake\Http\Response|null | $response | The response to use. |
