public __get(string $name) : mixed

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;.

Parameters

$isSuccessful : bool

attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

public attachBehavior(string $name, string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior $behavior) : Behavior

  • an object configuration array that will be passed to [[Yii::createObject()]] to create the behavior object.
Tags
see
detachBehavior()
Return values
Behavior

the behavior object

attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

public attachBehaviors(array<string|int, mixed> $behaviors) : mixed

Tags
see
attachBehavior()

Parameters
$message : MessageInterface
Return values
bool

whether to continue sending an email.

behaviors()

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

public behaviors() : array<string|int, mixed>

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 [[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).

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

function ($event)

where $event is an [[Event]] object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:

$component->on('event.group.*', function ($event) {
