$_debugOutput


    public
        mixed
    $_debugOutput
     = []

$_actionName


    protected
        string
    $_actionName

$_entityName


    protected
        string
    $_entityName

$chain

Additional api requests - will be called once per result.


    protected
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $chain
     = []

Keys can be any string - this will be the name given to the output.

You can reference other values in the api results in this call by prefixing them with $.

For example, you could create a contact and place them in a group by chaining the GroupContact api to the Contact api:

Contact::create()
  ->setValue('first_name', 'Hello')
  ->addChain('add_a_group', GroupContact::create()
    ->setValue('contact_id', '$id')
    ->setValue('group_id', 123)
  )

This will substitute the id of the newly created contact with $id.

$checkPermissions

Whether to enforce acl permissions based on the current user.


    protected
        bool
    $checkPermissions
     = TRUE

Setting to FALSE will disable permission checks and override ACLs. In REST/javascript this cannot be disabled.

$debug

Add debugging info to the api result.


    protected
        bool
    $debug
     = FALSE

When enabled, $result->debug will be populated with information about the api call, including sql queries executed.

Note: with checkPermissions enabled, debug info will only be returned if the user has "view debug output" permission.

$language

Preferred language (optional)


    protected
        string
    $language

This option will notify major localization subsystems (ts(), multilingual, etc) about which locale should be used for composing/formatting messaging.

This indicates the preferred language. The effective language is determined by Civi\Core\Locale::negotiate($preferredLanguage).

$limit

Maximum number of $ENTITIES to return.


    protected
        int
    $limit
     = 0

Defaults to 0 - unlimited.

Note: the Api Explorer sets this to 25 by default to avoid timeouts. Change or remove this default for your application code.

$offset

Zero-based index of first $ENTITY to return.


    protected
        int
    $offset
     = 0

Defaults to 0 - first $ENTITY found.

$orderBy

Array of field(s) to use in ordering the results.


    protected
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $orderBy
     = []

Defaults to id ASC

$example->addOrderBy('sort_name', 'ASC')

$version

Api version number; cannot be changed.


    protected
        int
    $version
     = 4

$where

Criteria for selecting $ENTITIES to process.


    protected
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $where
     = []

$_arrayStorage


    private
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $_arrayStorage
     = []

$_entityFields


    private
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $_entityFields

$_id


    private
        int
    $_id

Used to identify api calls for transactions

$_paramInfo


    private
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $_paramInfo

$_reflection


    private
        ReflectionClass
    $_reflection

    $doer

Function(array $item, BasicBatchAction $thisAction): array

  $return $item;
});

Parameters

_run()

Checks permissions and then delegates to processBatch.


    public
                    _run(Result $result) : mixed

Note: Unconditional logic must go here in the run function, as delegated functions may be overridden.

Parameters

$result : Result

addChain()


    public
                    addChain(string $name, AbstractAction $apiRequest[, string|int|array<string|int, mixed> $index = NULL ]) : $this

entityFields()

Returns schema fields for this entity & action.


    public
                    entityFields() : array<string|int, mixed>

Here we bypass the api wrapper and run the getFields action directly. This is because we DON'T want the wrapper to check permissions as this is an internal op.

Return values

array<string|int, mixed>

evaluateCondition()

Return values

bool

execute()

Invoke api call.


    public
                    execute() : Result

At this point all the params have been sent in and we initiate the api call & return the result. This is basically the outer wrapper for api v4.

                    doTask(mixed $item) : array<string|int, mixed>

Use this class directly by passing a callable ($doer) to the constructor.

getBatchAction()

Get an API action object which resolves the list of records for this batch.


    protected
                    getBatchAction() : AbstractGetAction

Return values

AbstractGetAction

Calls doTask once per item and stores the result.


    protected
                    processBatch(Result $result, array<string|int, mixed> $items) : mixed

We pass the doTask function an array representing one item to process. We expect to get the same format back.

$result : Result
$items : array<string|int, mixed>

whereClauseToString()

Produces a human-readable where clause, for the reading enjoyment of you humans.
