Properties 31

Take no arguments.

# __toString() Templates only: string; Returns the rendered HTML when the model is used in a string context.
# getOriginalFullSlug(): string; Get the original full slug without any custom urls applied to it
# getOriginalFullPath(): string; Gets the original path to the category without any custom urls applied. Built from the leaf getSlug() rather than getOriginalFullSlug() on purpose: the listCategoryProducts route is single-segment (/category/{slug}, whose slug requirement excludes /), so the multi-segment value getOriginalFullSlug() returns would not resolve. The path and the slug therefore diverge for categories until the route can express a full slug.
# getOriginalPath(): string; It's an alias and deprecated! Directly use getOriginalFullPath() instead.
# getFullSlug(): string; Gets the slug that addresses this record relative to its module — the portion of the URL that identifies the record itself, without the module path and without a leading slash. For a hierarchical record the slug includes the slugs of all of its ancestors joined with slashes. This is the effective slug: when a custom URL is set on the record, it _takes precedence and is returned_ here. The no-leading-slash shape describes the canonical value only. A custom URL is returned verbatim, and custom URLs are stored with a leading slash, so a record that has one returns /my-custom rather than my-custom; use getOriginalFullSlug() when you need the canonical shape unconditionally.
# getFullPath(): string; Gets the relative path that addresses this record within the site, including the module path and starting with a leading slash. This is the getFullSlug() value prefixed with the route under which the module is mounted. This is the effective path: when a custom URL is set on the record, it _takes precedence and is returned_ here. Returns an empty string when the record has no custom URL and getOriginalFullPath() cannot build one, so callers must treat an empty string as "no url" rather than as a path. Rendering it into markup or handing it to a cache or route helper would otherwise point the record at whatever the site serves at its root.
# getAssignedWorkflow(): ?Workflow; Get the workflow assigned to the record or entity
# hasAssignedWorkflow(): bool; Check whether the record has an assigned workflow
# getBranches(): Collection; Get the branches associated with the record
# getNumRevisionsWithoutBranch(): int; Get the number of revisions without branch
# getActiveRevision(): ?CategoryDescriptionRevision
# getCategory(): ?Category
# getContainer(): ?Category; Returns the category as the container of the description
# getLastRevision(): ?CategoryDescriptionRevision; Get the last revision for the entity. If a revision has been added, this will be the newly added revision.
# getId(): ?int
# getName(): ?string
# getSlug(): ?string
# getCreated(): ?DateTime; Date the record was created.
# getModified(): ?DateTime; Last modification date for the record.
# getPublished(): ?DateTime
# isPublished(): bool; Determines if the record is published.
# getLanguage(): ?Language
# getSite(): ?Site
# getSeoSettings(): ?SeoSettings
# getRevisions(): ?Collection<CategoryDescriptionRevision>
# isDefault(): bool; Checks if the current description is the default description of its container.
# getCustomUrl(): ?CustomUrl; Get the custom url used for the page. This will take precedence over the slugs of this page, parent page and the module.
# isNewRecord() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check if the record is a new record
# isHierarchicalModel() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check whether a model is a hierarchical model, i.e. can have children
# isVersionedModel() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check whether a model is versioned
# getHtml() Templates only: string; Gets the rendered HTML for the record using its layout template.

Methods 23

Take arguments. The API serialises only getters that need none.

# getBranchRevisions(RevisionBranch $branch, ?int $limit, ?int $offset): Collection; Get the revisions for the provided branch, ordered by id ascending. Pass a limit/offset to fetch a bounded window instead of the full set — loading all revisions of a large branch exhausts memory.
# getNumBranchRevisions(RevisionBranch $branch): int; Get the number of revisions for the provided branch (COUNT query — does not hydrate)
# getRevisionsWithoutBranch(?int $limit, ?int $offset): Collection; Get the revisions without branch, ordered by id ascending. Pass a limit/offset to fetch a bounded window instead of the full set — loading all revisions of a record with a large history exhausts memory.
# getRevisionById(int $id): ?CategoryDescriptionRevision; Get the revision with the specified id
# hasAreaWithName(string $areaName) Templates only: bool; Check if an area with the specified name exists for the active revision of the record
# getAreaType(string $areaName) Templates only: ?InputType; Get the input type for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaCategory(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the category for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaEditor(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the editor for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaImage(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Image; Get the image for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaImageOrPlaceholder(string $areaName, int $width, int $height) Templates only: Image; Get the image for the component area with the specified name. Uses the active revision of the global component. If the image does not exist, get a placeholder image with the specified dimensions Will always return an image, even if it was not found (in that case, an empty image).
# getAreaFile(string $areaName) Templates only: ?File; Get the file for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaRecord(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Model; Get the record for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaRecords(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Collection; Get the records for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaText(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the text for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaValues(string $areaName) Templates only: array; Get the values for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaDate(string $areaName) Templates only: ?DateTime; Get a date for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaWidget(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Widget; Get the widget for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaComponent(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Component; Get the component for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaCollectionElements(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Collection; Get the component collection elements for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaHtml(string $areaName) Templates only: string; Get the rendered HTML for the component area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record. Adds live preview tags, if enabled.
# getAreaDefaultContent(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Content; Get the default content of the layout area. Uses the active revision of the global component. Will return a BlankContent if no content was defined.
# getAreaContentOrDefault(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Content; Get the content of the layout area, or the default content if no content exists. Uses the active revision of the global component. If no default content exists, a BlankContent will be returned.
# isAreaBlank(string $areaName) Templates only: bool; Check whether the layout area with the specified name has no usable content, using the active revision of the record. Reports the area as blank when the record has no active revision. Blank describes what is stored, not what renders: the answer comes from the stored content and never renders a template. An area can therefore be not blank and still render nothing — a record that was deleted or has no layout, a component or widget whose template outputs nothing, or text whose only content is a placeholder for a deleted image. To decide on the rendered output instead, test the result of getAreaHtml().

API & Jobs view

API & JobsEach property is a key in REST API responses and job payloads. Its name is the template getter without get, is or has. Methods that need arguments are not available here.
