$_debugOutput


    public
        mixed
    $_debugOutput
     = []

$_actionName


    protected
        string
    $_actionName

$_entityName


    protected
        string
    $_entityName

$actorPassword

If given, this is checked against the current user's password before the change is allowed.


    protected
        string
    $actorPassword

$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.

$defaults

Array of default values.


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

These defaults will be merged into every $ENTITY in records before saving. Values set in records will override these defaults if set in both places, but updating existing $ENTITIES will overwrite current values with these defaults.

$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).

$match

Specify fields to match for update.


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

The API will perform an update if an existing $ENTITY matches all specified fields.

Note: the fields named in this param should be without any options suffix (e.g. my_field not my_field:name). Any options suffixes in the $records will be resolved by the api prior to matching.

$records

Array of $ENTITIES to save.


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

Should be in the same format as returned by Get.

$reload

Reload $ENTITIES after saving.


    protected
        bool
    $reload
     = FALSE

By default this action typically returns partial records containing only the fields that were updated. Set reload to true to do an additional lookup after saving to return complete values for every $ENTITY.

$version

Api version number; cannot be changed.


    protected
        int
    $version
     = 4

    public
