aRepository

Collections container.

abstract class MMO\core\classes\aRepository implements MMO\core\interfaces\iRepository, ArrayAccess, IteratorAggregate

Namespace: MMO\core\classes
Implements: iRepository, ArrayAccess, IteratorAggregate

You can use class override for entities and collection : use the entity's classname and the collection's name To declare a collection as readonly, add a '!' at the begining of the name of the colleciton

$repo = new Repository(['people' => Person::class, '!archive' => ArchivedPerson::class]); $person = $repo->createEntity(Person::class, ['name' => 'Doe']); $repo['people'] === $repo->getCollection('people'); // true

returns	iEntity
throws		if $collection is null and no registered collection matches $class

See: logStatus are thin wrappers around this that also dispatch it.

$type	cLogQuery	the kind of operation
$origin	object \| string	who/what performed the operation
$collection	iCollection \| string	the affected collection (or its name)
$data	array	the data written: a hidden property's value is logged as `LogQuery::HIDDEN` (`hideLogData`)

returns	Commit

$repo->forceCommit($this, $entity1, $entity2);

getCollection($name)

aRepository.php:195

function getCollection(string $name): MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection

$name	string
returns	iCollection
throws		if no collection is registered under $name

getCollectionByClass($entityClass, $allowChildClass)

aRepository.php:212

Find the collection whose entities are (an exact match, or optionally a subclass of) $entityClass.

function getCollectionByClass(string $entityClass, bool $allowChildClass = true): ?MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection

$entityClass	string
$allowChildClass = true	bool	if true (the default), also match a collection whose entity class is an ancestor of $entityClass (an exact match is always preferred)

aRepository.php:176

function getCollectionName(MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection $collection): ?string

getCollections()

aRepository.php:171

function getCollections(): array

returns

array

every registered collection, keyed by name

getDistinct($collection, $key)

aRepository.php:127

Every value one property takes across a collection, once each, in ascending order.

function getDistinct(string $collection, string $key): array

This version reads every entity of the collection, which works with any repository; one that can ask its storage directly overrides it ([`MongoRepository::getDistinct`](https://mmoframework.fr/en/documentation/mmo.mongodb/php/MongoRepository.md#mongorepository-getdistinct)). Dates are compared as dates, so are sorted chronologically; null is left out.

$collection	string	the collection's name
$key	string	the property (a `/`-separated path for a nested one)
returns	array

$repository->getDistinct('people', 'age'); // [36, 41, 85]

getEntities()

aRepository.php:389

function getEntities(): array

returns

array

every entity across every collection in this repository

getIterator()

aRepository.php:252

\IteratorAggregate::getIterator -- iterates name => iCollection

function getIterator(): Traversable

returns

Traversable

hasCollection($collection)

aRepository.php:235

function hasCollection(MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection): bool

$collection	iCollection \| string	a name (checked by key) or an instance (checked by identity)
returns	bool

hideLogData($collection, $data)

aRepository.php:334

What a repository logs is what it wrote (mmo.pdo's row, mmo.mongodb's document or its changes), hidden properties (ArrayProperty::isHidden) included, and a log is exported like any entity: its data, a plain array, would tell what the entity itself never does -- a password's hash. Their values are replaced, not dropped: the log still tells they were written.

protected function hideLogData(MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection, array $data): array

$collection	iCollection \| string	the collection written to, or its name
$data	array	property => value
returns	array	$data, every hidden property's value replaced with `LogQuery::HIDDEN`. A collection this repository does not have is logged as it is: nothing tells what it hides, and failing would fail the commit that logs it.

$this->hideLogData('users', ['username' => 'ada', 'passhash' => '$2y$10$...']); // ['username' => 'ada', 'passhash' => '[hidden]']

logDelete($origin, $collection, $data, $filters, $sorts, $limit, $offset)

$origin	object \| string
$collection	iCollection \| string
$data	array
$filters = []	Entity \| array
$sorts = ''	string
$limit = null	null \| int
$offset = null	null \| int
returns	null \| LogQuery	null if a listener marked the log as ignored (`LogQuery::isIgnored`)

logInsert($origin, $collection, $data, $filters, $sorts, $limit, $offset)

aRepository.php:358

Log and dispatch an INSERT operation. See createLog for the parameters.

function logInsert( object|string $origin, MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection, array $data, MMO\core\entities\Entity|array $filters = [], string $sorts = '', ?int $limit = null, ?int $offset = null ): ?MMO\core\entities\LogQuery

$origin	object \| string
$collection	iCollection \| string
$data	array
$filters = []	Entity \| array
$sorts = ''	string
$limit = null	null \| int
$offset = null	null \| int
returns	null \| LogQuery	null if a listener marked the log as ignored (`LogQuery::isIgnored`)

logStatus($origin, $collection, $data, $filters, $sorts, $limit, $offset)

aRepository.php:378

Log and dispatch a STATUS-change operation. See createLog for the parameters.

function logStatus( object|string $origin, MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection, array $data, MMO\core\entities\Entity|array $filters = [], string $sorts = '', ?int $limit = null, ?int $offset = null ): ?MMO\core\entities\LogQuery

$collection	iCollection \| string
$data	array
$filters = []	Entity \| array

logUpdate($origin, $collection, $data, $filters, $sorts, $limit, $offset)

aRepository.php:348

Log and dispatch an UPDATE operation. See createLog for the parameters.

function logUpdate( object|string $origin, MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection, array $data, MMO\core\entities\Entity|array $filters = [], string $sorts = '', ?int $limit = null, ?int $offset = null ): ?MMO\core\entities\LogQuery

$origin	object \| string
$collection	iCollection \| string
$data	array
$filters = []	Entity \| array
$sorts = ''	string
$limit = null	null \| int
$offset = null	null \| int
returns	null \| LogQuery	null if a listener marked the log as ignored (`LogQuery::isIgnored`)

offsetExists($key)

aRepository.php:284

\ArrayAccess::offsetExists

function offsetExists(mixed $key): bool

$key	mixed
returns	bool

isset($repo['people']);

offsetGet($key)

aRepository.php:268

\ArrayAccess::offsetGet

function offsetGet(mixed $key): MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection

$key	mixed
returns	iCollection

$repo['people']; // the 'people' collection

offsetSet($key, $value)

unset($repo['people']);

onCommit($commit)

abstractaRepository.php:34

Persist a batch of entity changes. Called automatically for every Commit dispatched with \MMO\commit(), but only for entities belonging to one of this repository's collections.

abstract function onCommit(MMO\core\events\Commit $commit): void

$commit	Commit
returns	void

onFetch($event)

aRepository.php:427

Listener for Fetch: resolves a repository-uid/collection-id#id (or repository-uid/collection-id#id/nested/path for an embedded value) URL, what Entity::uid gives, into the matching entity (or nested value), if it belongs to one of this repository's collections and no earlier listener already answered the fetch.

function onFetch(MMO\core\events\Fetch $event): void

NOTE: the collection is found by its id, not by its name. They differ in a JsonRepository, whose collection `labels` has the id `labels.json` (its file's name). Looked up by name (2026-04 to 2026-09), a reference a JsonRepository had stored was never read back: the property was left null, and a find-or-create on it created a duplicate each time.

$event	Fetch
returns	void

\MMO\fetch($this, $label->uid()); // $label, e.g. from `file://3f2a9c1b/labels.json#2`

searchText($query, $text)

aRepository.php:92

Full-text search (?search[type]=$text of RepositoryController::routeGet), on top of the query's own filters, its sort and its page.

function searchText( MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|MMO\core\entities\Query|string $query, string $text ): array

This version works with any repository: every word of $text must be found, in any of the collection's stored text properties (those MongoRepository puts in its text index: string, stored, not `@noindex`), as a `$regex` holding the word itself -- escaped, accent and case insensitive ([`textRegex`](https://mmoframework.fr/en/documentation/mmo.core/php/strings.md#textregex), what

See: FilterOperator::test makes of a text), which mmo.pdo turns into SQL. A repository with a search-capable store overrides it (MongoRepository::searchText). NOTE: until 2026-10 it threw « not implemented ».

$query	iCollection \| Query \| string	the query (its filters narrow the result), or the collection to search
$text	string	the words to find
returns	array

$repository->searchText($collection->query(['status' => 'active']), 'jean dupont');

setCollections($cols)

aRepository.php:150

function setCollections(array $cols): void

$cols	array
returns	void

$repo->setCollections(['people' => Person::class, '!archive' => ArchivedPerson::class]);

__construct($collections)

aRepository.php:39

function __construct(array $collections = [])

$collections = [] array name => iCollection|entity-class-name, see setCollections

__wakeup()

aRepository.php:50

function __wakeup(): void

See: Commit / Fetch events. Called automatically by the constructor, and again whenever the repository is unserialized (rebuilt from the shared Configuration).

returns

void
