tWithEntities

Gives a class its own local collection of iEntity instances, indexed by iEntity::getId when available (falling back to a plain numeric index for entities without an id, or when two different entity instances collide on the same id).

Namespace: MMO\core\classes

NOTE: [`getEntitiesWithFlags`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/classes/tWithEntities.md#twithentities-getentitieswithflags) calls `$entity->getFlags()`, which is not part of the iEntity interface itself but is provided by concrete entities built on [`aEntity`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/classes/aEntity.md#aentity) (e.g. [`Entity`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/entities/Entity.md#entity)).

class Basket {use tWithEntities;} $basket = new Basket(); $basket->addEntity($product); // indexed under $product->getId() $basket->getEntity($product->getId()) === $product; // true

Methods6

addEntity($entity)

tWithEntities.php:70

Add an entity, indexed under its own iEntity::getId(). An entity with no id (getId() === '' once cast to string), or whose id already maps to a DIFFERENT entity instance, is appended under a plain numeric index instead -- re-adding the SAME instance under an id it already occupies simply overwrites it in place (no duplicate is created).

function addEntity(MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity $entity): MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity

$entity	iEntity
returns	iEntity	$entity, for chaining

$basket->addEntity($product); // indexed under $product->getId()

getEntities()

tWithEntities.php:25

function getEntities(): array

returns array every entity currently in the collection, keyed by id (or numeric index -- see addEntity)

getEntitiesWithFlags($flags)

tWithEntities.php:34

function getEntitiesWithFlags(int $flags): array

$flags	int	a bitmask of iEntity::FLAG_* constants
returns	array	only the entities whose getFlags() has EVERY bit of $flags set

$basket->getEntitiesWithFlags(iEntity::FLAG_CREATED); // entities created during this request

getEntity($id)

tWithEntities.php:57

function getEntity(string|int $id): ?MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity

$id	string \| int
returns	null \| iEntity	null if no entity is indexed under $id

$basket->getEntity('p1');

hasEntity($entity)

tWithEntities.php:48

function hasEntity(MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity|string|int $entity): bool

$entity	iEntity \| string \| int	either an entity instance (checked by identity) or an id (checked by key)
returns	bool

$basket->hasEntity($product); // by instance

$basket->hasEntity($product->getId()); // by id

removeEntity($entity)

tWithEntities.php:87

Remove entity by instance or uid

function removeEntity(MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity|string|int $entity): ?MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity

$entity	iEntity \| string \| int	the entity to remove or its id
returns	null \| iEntity	null if it was not found in the collection

$basket->removeEntity($product); // by instance: removes every key it was indexed under

$basket->removeEntity('p1'); // by id
