Property Details

Hide inherited properties

$type protected property

Type of JSON, expression should be casted to. Defaults to null, meaning no explicit casting will be performed. This property will be encountered only for DBMSs that support different types of JSON. For example, PostgreSQL has json and jsonb types.

protected string|null $type = null
$value protected property

The value to be encoded to JSON. The value must be compatible with [\yii\helpers\Json::encode()|Json::encode()]] input requirements.

protected mixed $value = null

Method Details

Hide inherited methods

__construct() public method

JsonExpression constructor.

See also $type.

public void __construct ( $value, $type = null )
$value mixed

The value to be encoded to JSON. The value must be compatible with [\yii\helpers\Json::encode()|Json::encode()]] requirements.
$type string|null

The type of the JSON. See yii\db\JsonExpression::$type

 

                public function __construct($value, $type = null)
{
    if ($value instanceof self) {
        $value = $value->getValue();
    }
    $this->value = $value;
    $this->type = $type;
}
getType() public method

See also $type.

public string|null getType ( )
return string|null

The type of JSON

 

                public function getType()
{
    return $this->type;
}
getValue() public method

See also $value.

public mixed getValue ( )

                public function getValue()
{
    return $this->value;
}
jsonSerialize() public method (available since version 2.0.14.2)

Specify data which should be serialized to JSON

public mixed jsonSerialize ( )
return mixed

Data which can be serialized by json_encode, which is a value of any type other than a resource.
throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

when JsonExpression contains QueryInterface object

 

                #[\ReturnTypeWillChange]
public function jsonSerialize()
{
    $value = $this->getValue();
    if ($value instanceof QueryInterface) {
        throw new InvalidConfigException('The JsonExpression class can not be serialized to JSON when the value is a QueryInterface object');
    }
    return $value;
}
