Add new value via entity cakephp 3

In CakePHP 3, you can add a new value to an entity using the following methods:

  1. Using the newEntity() method:

    $entity = $this->Entities->newEntity();
    $entity->field_name = 'new value';

    This method creates a new entity instance and sets the value of the specified field.

  2. Using the patchEntity() method:

    $entity = $this->Entities->patchEntity($entity, ['field_name' => 'new value']);

    This method updates the existing entity instance with the new values.

  3. Using the hydrate() method:

    $entity = $this->Entities->hydrate(['field_name' => 'new value']);

    This method creates a new entity instance and sets the value of the specified field.

  4. Using the set() method:

    $entity = $this->Entities->get($id);
    $entity->set('field_name', 'new value');

    This method updates the existing entity instance with the new value.

Note: Replace field_name with the actual field name you want to update, and $id with the actual ID of the entity you want to update.

Also, make sure to save the entity after updating it using one of the above methods:

$this->Entities->save($entity);

This will save the updated entity to the database.
