Categories

Access, create, update and delete the categories of products that you sell online.

Methods

Invoke via \Components\Commerce\Products\Categories::method()
Click a method name to copy it.
- ` \Iterator dbGetAllIterable($arrQuery) `
Returns the raw rows dbGetAll() would return as an iterator, without building them all into an array

The dbGetAll() counterpart of getAllIterable(), for scans over every stored row of a large table (eg: the site-wide content scans in \Framework\Developer\Refactoring). Rows are as stored - JSON fields are not decoded - and are not entity-cached. Because it bypasses getAll(), components that override getAll() are iterated; search queries and components overriding dbGetAll() are refused.
Parameters:
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Yields Categories
- ` array fieldsGetAll($bCached) `
Returns all the columns this component supports
Parameters:
- $bCached
mixed
Return
array
- ` array get($iProductCategoryId) `
Gets a record from the database
Parameters:
- $iProductCategoryId
int unsigned
A record's product_category_id
Return
- ` array getAll($arrQuery) `
Return a set of records from the database
Parameters:
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Array of Categories
- ` array getAllForProduct($iProductId, $arrQuery) `
Returns all categories for a specific product
Parameters:
- $iProductId
mixed
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Array of Categories
- ` array getAllIdsForProduct($iProductId) `
Returns all category Ids for a specific product
Parameters:
- $iProductId
mixed
Return
array
- ` \Iterator getAllIterable($arrQuery) `
Returns the entities getAll() would return as an iterator, without building them all into an array

For result sets too large to hold as arrays (eg: every recipient of a marketing send) - only the database driver's compact buffer of the result is held, a fraction of getAll()'s memory. Runs the same SQL as getAll(), and runs it now, as getAll() would; rows are decoded as you iterate.
Search queries are not supported, rows are not entity-cached, and components that override getAll() or dbGetAll() (eg: merging in defaults) are refused rather than iterated without their extra rows.
Parameters:
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Yields Categories
- ` array getAllRecursiveForProduct($iProductId) `
Retrieve all parent categories for a specific product

Leaf level categories are first, then their parents.
Parameters:
- $iProductId
mixed
Return
array
- ` array getAllRecursiveIdsForProduct($iProductId) `
Returns all parent category Ids for a specific product

Leaf level categories are first, then their parents.
Parameters:
- $iProductId
mixed
Return
array
- ` bool delete($iProductCategoryId, $bDeleteMedia) `
Deletes a record from the database
Parameters:
- $iProductCategoryId
int unsigned
A record's product_category_id
- $bDeleteMedia
mixed
Return
Returns true if record existed and was deleted, otherwise false
- ` array getChildren($iId, $arrQuery) `
Returns the child categories of a given category

Useful to retrieve product sub-categories and display them using a repeater.
Parameters:
- $iId
mixed
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Array of Categories
- ` array getChildrenRecursive($iId, $arrQuery) `
Returns the recursive child categories of a given category

Useful to retrieve all product sub-categories and display them using a repeater.
Parameters:
- $iId
mixed
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Array of Categories
- ` mixed getColumn($iProductCategoryId, $strColumn) `
Gets a single field from a record
Parameters:
- $iProductCategoryId
int unsigned
A record's product_category_id
- $strColumn
mixed
Return
mixed
- ` int getCount($arrFilter) `
Returns the number of records in the database (matching the filter if specified)
Parameters:
- $arrFilter
mixed
Return
int
- ` array getFromPageURI($strPageURI) `
Retrieves a category from its page URI suffix
Parameters:
- $strPageURI
mixed
Return
- ` array|null getParent($iEntityId) `
Retrieves the parent category of a specific entity
Parameters:
- $iEntityId
mixed
Return
array|null
- ` array getParentsRecursive($iEntityId) `
Returns all parent categories of a specific entity
Parameters:
- $iEntityId
mixed
Return
array
- ` string|int save($arrEntity) `
Saves a record into the database
Parameters:
- $arrEntity
mixed
Return
string|int
- ` void saveColumn($iProductCategoryId, $strColumn, $strValue) `
Saves a specific column of a row into a database
Parameters:
- $iProductCategoryId
int unsigned
A record's product_category_id
- $strColumn
mixed
- $strValue
mixed
- ` array search($strSearch, $arrQuery) `
Performs a search
Parameters:
- $strSearch
mixed
- $arrQuery
mixed
Return
Array of Categories that match the search query.
