Class yii\base\Component

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

This method is called after the object is created by cloning an existing one.

It removes all behaviors because they are attached to the old object.

Returns the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
• a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

See also __set().

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a setter: return whether the property is set
• a property of a behavior: return whether the property is set
• return false for non existing properties

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($component->property).

See also http://php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php.

Sets the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a setter: set the property value
• an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
• a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
• a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

See also __get().

Sets a component property to be null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a setter: set the property value to be null
• a property of a behavior: set the property value to be null

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($component->property).

See also http://php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php.

Attaches a behavior to this component.

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the yii\base\Behavior::attach() method.

See also detachBehavior().

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a yii\base\Behavior object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

See also attachBehavior().

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from yii\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.

A property can be read if:

• the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
• the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
• an attached behavior has a readable property of the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).

See also canSetProperty().

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be set.

A property can be written if:

• the class has a setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
• the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
• an attached behavior has a writable property of the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).

See also canGetProperty().

Detaches a behavior from the component.

The behavior's yii\base\Behavior::detach() method will be invoked.

Detaches all behaviors from the component.

Makes sure that the behaviors declared in behaviors() are attached to this component.

Returns the named behavior object.

Returns all behaviors attached to this component.

Returns a value indicating whether there is any handler attached to the named event.

Returns a value indicating whether a method is defined.

A method is defined if:

• the class has a method with the specified name
• an attached behavior has a method with the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).

Returns a value indicating whether a property is defined for this component.

A property is defined if:

• the class has a getter or setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
• the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
• an attached behavior has a property of the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).

See also:

• canGetProperty()
• canSetProperty()

Detaches an existing event handler from this component.

This method is the opposite of on().

See also on().

Attaches an event handler to an event.

The event handler must be a valid PHP callback. The following are some examples:

function ($event) { ... }         // anonymous function
[$object, 'handleClick']          // $object->handleClick()
['Page', 'handleClick']           // Page::handleClick()
'handleClick'                     // global function handleClick()

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an yii\base\Event object which includes parameters associated with the event.

See also off().

Triggers an event.

This method represents the happening of an event. It invokes all attached handlers for the event including class-level handlers.
