Class yii\base\BaseObject
BaseObject is the base class that implements the property feature.
A property is defined by a getter method (e.g. getLabel), and/or a setter method (e.g. setLabel). For example,
the following getter and setter methods define a property named label:
private $_label;
public function getLabel()
{
return $this->_label;
}
public function setLabel($value)
{
$this->_label = $value;
}
Property names are case-insensitive.
A property can be accessed like a member variable of an object. Reading or writing a property will cause the invocation of the corresponding getter or setter method. For example,
// equivalent to $label = $object->getLabel();
$label = $object->label;
// equivalent to $object->setLabel('abc');
$object->label = 'abc';
If a property has only a getter method and has no setter method, it is considered as read-only. In this case, trying to modify the property value will cause an exception.
One can call hasProperty(), canGetProperty() and/or canSetProperty() to check the existence of a property.
Besides the property feature, BaseObject also introduces an important object initialization life cycle. In particular, creating an new instance of BaseObject or its derived class will involve the following life cycles sequentially:
- the class constructor is invoked;
- object properties are initialized according to the given configuration;
- the
init()method is invoked.
In the above, both Step 2 and 3 occur at the end of the class constructor. It is recommended that
you perform object initialization in the init() method because at that stage, the object configuration
is already applied.
In order to ensure the above life cycles, if a child class of BaseObject needs to override the constructor, it should be done like the following:
public function __construct($param1, $param2, ..., $config = [])
{
...
parent::__construct($config);
}
That is, a $config parameter (defaults to []) should be declared as the last parameter
of the constructor, and the parent implementation should be called at the end of the constructor.

Method Details
Calls the named method which is not a class method.
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.
| public mixed __call ( $name, $params ) | ||
| $name | string |
The method name |
| $params | array |
Method parameters |
| return | mixed |
The method return value |
|---|---|---|
| throws | yii\base\UnknownMethodException |
when calling unknown method |
public function __call($name, $params)
{
throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}
Constructor.
The default implementation does two things:
- Initializes the object with the given configuration
$config. - Call init().
If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that
- the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like
$confighere. - call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
| public void __construct ( $config = [] ) | ||
| $config | array |
Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties |
public function __construct($config = [])
{
if (!empty($config)) {
Yii::configure($this, $config);
}
$this->init();
}
Returns the value of an object property.
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;.
See also __set().
| public mixed __get ( $name ) | ||
| $name | string |
The property name |
| return | mixed |
The property value |
|---|---|---|
| throws | yii\base\UnknownPropertyException |
if the property is not defined |
| throws | yii\base\InvalidCallException |
if the property is write-only |
public function __get($name)
{
$getter = 'get' . $name;
if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
return $this->$getter();
} elseif (method_exists($this, 'set' . $name)) {
throw new InvalidCallException('Getting write-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
throw new UnknownPropertyException('Getting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property).
Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.
| public boolean __isset ( $name ) | ||
| $name | string |
The property name or the event name |
| return | boolean |
Whether the named property is set (not null). |
|---|---|---|
public function __isset($name)
{
$getter = 'get' . $name;
if (method_exists($this, $getter)) {
return $this->$getter() !== null;
}
return false;
}
Sets value of an object property.
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing $object->property = $value;.
See also __get().
| public void __set ( $name, $value ) | ||
| $name | string |
The property name or the event name |
| $value | mixed |
The property value |
| throws | yii\base\UnknownPropertyException |
if the property is not defined |
|---|---|---|
| throws | yii\base\InvalidCallException |
if the property is read-only |
public function __set($name, $value)
{
$setter = 'set' . $name;
if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
$this->$setter($value);
} elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
} else {
throw new UnknownPropertyException('Setting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
}
Sets an object property to null.
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property).
Note that if the property is not defined, this method will do nothing. If the property is read-only, it will throw an exception.
| public void __unset ( $name ) | ||
| $name | string |
The property name |
| throws | yii\base\InvalidCallException |
if the property is read only. |
|---|---|---|
public function __unset($name)
{
$setter = 'set' . $name;
if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
$this->$setter(null);
} elseif (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
throw new InvalidCallException('Unsetting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}
}
Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.
A property is readable if:
- the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
- the class has a member variable with the specified name (when
$checkVarsis true);
See also canSetProperty().

|---|---|---|
public function canGetProperty($name, $checkVars = true)
{
return method_exists($this, 'get' . $name) || $checkVars && property_exists($this, $name);
}
Returns a value indicating whether a property can be set.
A property is writable if:
- the class has a setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
- the class has a member variable with the specified name (when
$checkVarsis true);
See also canGetProperty().
