ActiveQueryInterface extends QueryInterface

ActiveQueryInterface defines the common interface to be implemented by active record query classes.

That are methods for either normal queries that return active records but also relational queries in which the query represents a relation between two active record classes and will return related records only.

A class implementing this interface should also use [[ActiveQueryTrait]] and [[ActiveRelationTrait]].

Methods

addOrderBy()

Adds additional ORDER BY columns to the query.

public addOrderBy(string|array<string|int, mixed> $columns) : $this
Parameters
$columns : string|array<string|int, mixed>

the columns (and the directions) to be ordered by. Columns can be specified in either a string (e.g. "id ASC, name DESC") or an array (e.g. ['id' => SORT_ASC, 'name' => SORT_DESC]). The method will automatically quote the column names unless a column contains some parenthesis (which means the column contains a DB expression).

all()

Executes the query and returns all results as an array.

public all([Connection|null $db = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$db : Connection|null = null

the database connection used to execute the query. If this parameter is not given, the db application component will be used.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

andFilterWhere()

Adds an additional WHERE condition to the existing one ignoring empty parameters.

public andFilterWhere(array<string|int, mixed> $condition) : $this

The new condition and the existing one will be joined using the 'AND' operator.

number of records.

emulateExecution()

Sets whether to emulate query execution, preventing any interaction with data storage.

public emulateExecution([bool $value = true ]) : $this

After this mode is enabled, methods, returning query results like [[one()]], [[all()]], [[exists()]] and so on, will return empty or false values. You should use this method in case your program logic indicates query should not return any results, like in case you set false where condition like 0=1.

Parameters
$value : bool = true

whether to prevent query execution.

public via(string $relationName[, callable|null $callable = null ]) : $this
Parameters
$relationName : string

the relation name. This refers to a relation declared in the [[ActiveRelationTrait::primaryModel|primaryModel]] of the relation.

$callable : callable|null = null

a PHP callback for customizing the relation associated with the junction table. Its signature should be function($query), where $query is the query to be customized.

Return values
$this

the relation object itself.

where()

Sets the WHERE part of the query.

public where(array<string|int, mixed> $condition) : $this

The $condition specified as an array can be in one of the following two formats:

  • hash format: ['column1' => value1, 'column2' => value2, ...]
  • operator format: [operator, operand1, operand2, ...]

A condition in hash format represents the following SQL expression in general: column1=value1 AND column2=value2 AND .... In case when a value is an array, an IN expression will be generated. And if a value is null, IS NULL will be used in the generated expression. Below are some examples:

  • ['type' => 1, 'status' => 2] generates (type = 1) AND (status = 2).
  • ['id' => [1, 2, 3], 'status' => 2] generates (id IN (1, 2, 3)) AND (status = 2).
  • ['status' => null] generates status IS NULL.

A condition in operator format generates the SQL expression according to the specified operator, which can be one of the following:

  • and: the operands should be concatenated together using AND. For example, ['and', 'id=1', 'id=2'] will generate id=1 AND id=2. If an operand is an array, it will be converted into a string using the rules described here. For example, ['and', 'type=1', ['or', 'id=1', 'id=2']] will generate type=1 AND (id=1 OR id=2). The method will not do any quoting or escaping.

  • or: similar to the and operator except that the operands are concatenated using OR. For example, ['or', ['type' => [7, 8, 9]], ['id' => [1, 2, 3]]] will generate (type IN (7, 8, 9) OR (id IN (1, 2, 3))).

  • not: this will take only one operand and build the negation of it by prefixing the query string with NOT. For example ['not', ['attribute' => null]] will result in the condition NOT (attribute IS NULL).

  • between: operand 1 should be the column name, and operand 2 and 3 should be the starting and ending values of the range that the column is in. For example, ['between', 'id', 1, 10] will generate id BETWEEN 1 AND 10.

  • not between: similar to between except the BETWEEN is replaced with NOT BETWEEN in the generated condition.

  • in: operand 1 should be a column or DB expression, and operand 2 be an array representing the range of the values that the column or DB expression should be in. For example, ['in', 'id', [1, 2, 3]] will generate id IN (1, 2, 3). The method will properly quote the column name and escape values in the range.

    To create a composite IN condition you can use and array for the column name and value, where the values are indexed by the column name: ['in', ['id', 'name'], [['id' => 1, 'name' => 'foo'], ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'bar']] ].

    You may also specify a sub-query that is used to get the values for the IN-condition: ['in', 'user_id', (new Query())->select('id')->from('users')->where(['active' => 1])]

  • not in: similar to the in operator except that IN is replaced with NOT IN in the generated condition.

  • like: operand 1 should be a column or DB expression, and operand 2 be a string or an array representing the values that the column or DB expression should be like. For example, ['like', 'name', 'tester'] will generate name LIKE '%tester%'. When the value range is given as an array, multiple LIKE predicates will be generated and concatenated using AND. For example, ['like', 'name', ['test', 'sample']] will generate name LIKE '%test%' AND name LIKE '%sample%'. The method will properly quote the column name and escape special characters in the values. Sometimes, you may want to add the percentage characters to the matching value by yourself, you may supply a third operand false to do so. For example, ['like', 'name', '%tester', false] will generate name LIKE '%tester'.

  • or like: similar to the like operator except that OR is used to concatenate the LIKE predicates when operand 2 is an array.

  • not like: similar to the like operator except that LIKE is replaced with NOT LIKE in the generated condition.

  • or not like: similar to the not like operator except that OR is used to concatenate the NOT LIKE predicates.

  • exists: operand 1 is a query object that used to build an EXISTS condition. For example ['exists', (new Query())->select('id')->from('users')->where(['active' => 1])] will result in the following SQL expression: EXISTS (SELECT "id" FROM "users" WHERE "active"=1).

  • not exists: similar to the exists operator except that EXISTS is replaced with NOT EXISTS in the generated condition.

  • Additionally you can specify arbitrary operators as follows: A condition of ['>=', 'id', 10] will result in the following SQL expression: id >= 10.

Note that this method will override any existing WHERE condition. You might want to use [[andWhere()]] or [[orWhere()]] instead.

Parameters
$condition : array<string|int, mixed>

the conditions that should be put in the WHERE part.

with()

Specifies the relations with which this query should be performed.

public with() : $this

The parameters to this method can be either one or multiple strings, or a single array of relation names and the optional callbacks to customize the relations.

A relation name can refer to a relation defined in [[ActiveQueryTrait::modelClass|modelClass]] or a sub-relation that stands for a relation of a related record. For example, orders.address means the address relation defined in the model class corresponding to the orders relation.

The following are some usage examples:

// find customers together with their orders and country
Customer::find()->with('orders', 'country')->all();
// find customers together with their orders and the orders' shipping address
Customer::find()->with('orders.address')->all();
// find customers together with their country and orders of status 1
Customer::find()->with([
    'orders' => function (\yii\db\ActiveQuery $query) {
        $query->andWhere('status = 1');
    },
    'country',
])->all();
Return values
