How to use TableRegistry in CakePHP component?


I am new in cakephp, and trying to create a component using cakephp version 4.0.7 .

In component I need to save data in a table. I have followed this documentation on inserting data

In component I have tried below code for registry My table

use Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorAwareTrait;

class MyComponent extends Component{

    public function foo()
    {
         $ProductsTable = $this->getTableLocator()->get('Products');
    }

}

In output I am getting below exception

Call to undefined method App\Controller\Component\MyComponent::getTableLocator()

How can I solve this problem ?


Solution

  • CakePHP 4.0.x

    $productsTable = \Cake\ORM\TableRegistry::getTableLocator()->get('Products');
    

    from CakePHP 4.1

    Cake\ORM\TableRegistry has been deprecated. Use Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorAwareTrait::getTableLocator() or Cake\Datasource\FactoryLocator::get('Table')

    read https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/appendices/4-1-migration-guide.html#orm

    and try to use FactoryLocator:

    use Cake\Datasource\FactoryLocator;
    
    $productsTable = FactoryLocator::get('Table')->get('Products');
    
    //$productsTable->find()...
    

    or inject trait inside component class

    class MyComponent extends Component{
    
        use Cake\ORM\Locator\LocatorAwareTrait;
    
        public function foo()
        {
             $ProductsTable = $this->getTableLocator()->get('Products');
        }
    
    }
