Add new value via entity cakephp 3
In CakePHP 3, you can add a new value to an entity using the following methods:
-
Using the
newEntity()
method:$entity = $this->Entities->newEntity(); $entity->field_name = 'new value';
This method creates a new entity instance and sets the value of the specified field.
-
Using the
patchEntity()
method:$entity = $this->Entities->patchEntity($entity, ['field_name' => 'new value']);
This method updates the existing entity instance with the new values.
-
Using the
hydrate()
method:$entity = $this->Entities->hydrate(['field_name' => 'new value']);
This method creates a new entity instance and sets the value of the specified field.
-
Using the
set()
method:$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.
