Properties

$bootCache

protected static array<string|int, mixed> $bootCache = NULL

Cache for boot settings metadata (which is used before Civi::cache is available)

Methods

getMetadata()

WARNING: This interface may change.

public static getMetadata([array<string|int, mixed> $filters = [] ][, int $domainID = NULL ][, bool|array<string|int, mixed> $loadOptions = FALSE ][, bool $bootOnly = FALSE ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This provides information about the setting - similar to the fields concept for DAO information. As the setting is serialized code creating validation setting input needs to know the data type This also helps move information out of the form layer into the data layer where people can interact with it via the API or other mechanisms. In order to keep this consistent it is important the form layer also leverages it.

Note that this function should never be called when using the runtime getvalue function. Caching works around the expectation it will be called during setting administration

Function is intended for configuration rather than runtime access to settings

The following params will filter the result. If none are passed all settings will be returns

Parameters
$filters : array<string|int, mixed> = []
$domainID : int = NULL
$loadOptions : bool|array<string|int, mixed> = FALSE

The final param optionally restricts to only boot-time settings

$bootOnly : bool = FALSE
  • only
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the following information as appropriate for each setting

  • name
  • type
  • default
  • add (CiviCRM version added)
  • is_domain
  • is_contact
  • description
  • help_text
  • options
  • pseudoconstant
  • global_name (name for php constant / environment variable corresponding to this setting)
  • is_env_loadable (whether this setting should be read from corresponding environment variable)
  • is_constant (whether a PHP constant should be defined for this setting)

_filterSettingsSpecification()

Filter the settings metadata according to filters passed in. This is a convenience filter and allows selective reverting / filling of settings

protected static _filterSettingsSpecification(array<string|int, mixed> $filters, array<string|int, mixed> &$settingSpec) : mixed

$filters : array<string|int, mixed>

Filters to match against data.

$settingSpec : array<string|int, mixed>

Metadata to filter.

fillOptions()

Retrieve options from settings metadata

protected static fillOptions(array<string|int, mixed> &$settingSpec, bool|array<string|int, mixed> $optionsFormat) : mixed
Parameters
$settingSpec : array<string|int, mixed>
$optionsFormat : bool|array<string|int, mixed>

TRUE for a flat array; otherwise an array of keys to return

getBootMetadata()

Get the starting metadata for boot settings from core. No hooks are called.

protected static getBootMetadata() : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

boot settings metadata

getFullMetadata()

Get the final metadata for all settings - sources from extensions etc using alterSettingsFolders / alterSettingsMetadata hooks

protected static getFullMetadata([int|null $domainID = NULL ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>
