Methods19

CollectionUrl($collection, $repository, $extension, $query)

staticRepositoryController.php:139

static function CollectionUrl( string $collection, string $repository = 'main', string $extension = 'json', MMO\core\helpers\FilterGroup|array|string $query = '' ): string

$collection	string
$repository = 'main'	string
$extension = 'json'	string
$query = ''	FilterGroup \| array \| string	a query string, or filters to encode into one (`apiQuery`).
returns	string	the URL for `routeGet` on this collection.

ConnectRoutes($routes, $config)

staticRepositoryController.php:78

Called once when routes are registered: adds the actual list of configured repository/collection names as an enum constraint onto every route's repository/collection API parameter info (so generated API docs/validation know the real allowed values, instead of just 'string').

static function ConnectRoutes(array &$routes, array $config): void

$routes	array
$config	array	unused directly -- `get` is used instead to read this controller's own configured repositories.
returns	void

getCollection($name, $repository)

RepositoryController.php:193

function getCollection(string $name, ?string $repository = null): MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection

$name	string
$repository = null	null \| string	if given, only look in that repository; if null, search every registered one.
returns	iCollection
throws		if no matching collection is found.

getQuery()

RepositoryController.php:128

function getQuery(): ?MMO\core\entities\Query

returns null | Query the last query built by routeGet, or null before any GET has run.

getRepositories()

RepositoryController.php:100

function getRepositories(): array

returns

array

[iRepository]

getRepository($name)

RepositoryController.php:110

function getRepository(string $name): MMO\core\interfaces\iRepository

$name	string
returns	iRepository
throws		if $name isn't a registered repository.

getRepositoryName($repo)

RepositoryController.php:105

function getRepositoryName(MMO\core\interfaces\iRepository $repo): ?string

$repo	iRepository
returns	null \| string	the name $repo is registered under (`setRepositories`), or null if it isn't.

hasCollection($collection, $repository)

RepositoryController.php:206

function hasCollection( MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|string $collection, ?string $repository = null ): bool

$collection	iCollection \| string
$repository = null	null \| string	if given, only check that repository; if null, check every registered one.
returns	bool

isListed($entity)

RepositoryController.php:240

Tell if a query of $entity's collection, dispatched as a listing's (routeGet), keeps it: its listeners decide (mmo.oauth's AccessController, an application's filter by client)

protected function isListed(mixed $entity): bool

$entity	mixed
returns	bool	false for a value that is not an entity of a collection

$this->isListed(\MMO\fetch($this, 'file://users.json#1')); // false if a listing of users would leave it out

onRoute($route)

RepositoryController.php:162

function onRoute(MMO\core\server\Route $route): bool

See: iRoutable::onRoute -- prepares the response for this route's extension before the route's own handler runs: JSON (default), CSV, or Xlsx (optionally from a template, $xlsxTplFilename), each with a Content-Disposition: attachment filename derived from today's date and the {repository}/{collection} URL.

$route	Route
returns	bool

routeDelete($route)

RepositoryController.php:531

Delete entities by id -- archives an active entity (iEntity::archive), or permanently removes an already-archived one.

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('DELETE|data/{repository}/{collection}.{extension}', ['parameters' => […10 items]], mediaTypes: ['json', 'csv'])] function routeDelete(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route	the request body: a single `{id: ...}` object, or a list of them.
returns	array	every entity actually archived/removed (a missing 'id' or unknown id is skipped and logged, not thrown).
throws		if `repository`/`collection` doesn't resolve.
throws		if the collection is readonly.

routeEntity($route)

RepositoryController.php:261

Fetch a single entity by its global uid (fetch), regardless of which repository/collection it's in.

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('GET|data.json?uid={uid}', ['parameters' => […10 items]], mediaTypes: ['json'])] function routeEntity(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

What a listing would not show is refused ([`isListed`](https://mcp.mmoframework.fr/documentation/mmo.core/php/controllers/RepositoryController.md#repositorycontroller-islisted)): the entity the uid names, and one of another collection that its path leads to (`...#12/author`; an embedded one, `...#12/address/0`, is its entity's). NOTE: until 2026-09 nothing was, \MMO\fetch() dispatching no query: `data.json?uid=file://users.json#1` gave any client the user that `data/main/users.json` refused it.

$route	Route
returns	array	[the entity].
throws		if no entity matches, or a listing would leave it out.

GET data.json?uid=file://users.json#1 // [the user], if a listing of users would show it

routeGet($route)

RepositoryController.php:290

List entities from one collection: pagination, sort, field selection, filters, and text/property search (the class docblock's "Supported query" section), plus first/prev/next/last pagination links (NOTE: see the caveat on 'data.total'/'page.total'/'last' below -- task_03489439).

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('GET|data/{repository}/{collection}.{extension}', ['parameters' => […10 items]], mediaTypes: ['json', 'csv', 'xlsx'])] function routeGet(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route
returns	array	the matching entities for this page.
throws		if `repository` or `collection` doesn't resolve.

routePatch($route)

RepositoryController.php:571

Partially update entities by id -- either sets a new cStatus (via a 'status' key), or pushes one or more values onto array properties (any other key, optionally a path/to/nested/prop for a nested entity, via iArrayProperties::setArrayPropertyOffset).

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('PATCH|data/{repository}/{collection}.{extension}', ['parameters' => […3 items]], ['id' => 'string'], mediaTypes: ['json', 'csv'])] function routePatch(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route	the request body: a single `{id, ...}` object, or a list of them.
returns	array	every entity actually changed (a missing/unknown id, unknown status, or an archived/final/unreachable-path target is skipped and logged, not thrown).
throws		if `repository`/`collection` doesn't resolve.
throws		if the collection is readonly.

routePost($route)

RepositoryController.php:474

Insert or update entity with similar data (using groups or id)

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('POST|data/{repository}/{collection}.{extension}', ['parameters' => […10 items]], mediaTypes: ['json', 'csv'])] function routePost(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route	the request body: a single entity object, or a list of them. Per entity: an 'id' key with a value updates that entity; an 'id' key present but explicitly null forces creation of a new entity; no 'id' key at all looks for (or creates) an entity with matching content (`Collection::getOrCreateEntity`).
returns	array	every entity actually created or changed (an unknown id, or an archived/final entity being updated, is skipped and logged, not thrown; an unchanged existing entity is silently omitted).
throws		if `repository`/`collection` doesn't resolve.
throws		if the collection is readonly.
throws		if nothing ended up being inserted/updated.

routeSchemas($route)

RepositoryController.php:221

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('GET|data/schemas.json', 'Get schemas for all the entities in the application', mediaTypes: ['json'])] function routeSchemas(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route
returns	array	a JSON Schema document (`$id`/`$defs`) covering every entity class served by every registered repository/collection.

routeUpdate($route)

RepositoryController.php:420

Update entity only by id

#[MMO\core\attributes\APIRoute('PUT|data/{repository}/{collection}.{extension}', ['parameters' => […10 items]], mediaTypes: ['json', 'csv'])] function routeUpdate(MMO\core\server\Route $route): array

$route	Route	the request body: a single entity object, or a list of them; each MUST have an 'id'.
returns	array	the entities that were actually changed (an entity with no 'id', an unknown id, an archived/final entity, or no actual changes is skipped and logged, not thrown).
throws		if `repository`/`collection` doesn't resolve.
throws		if the collection is readonly.

SchemaUrl($entity)

staticRepositoryController.php:151

static function SchemaUrl( MMO\core\interfaces\iEntity|MMO\core\interfaces\iCollection|null $entity = null ): string

$entity = null	iEntity \| iCollection \| null	if given, the URL points at that specific entity's/collection's `$defs` entry; if null, at the root schemas document (`routeSchemas`).
returns	string

setRepositories($repositories)

RepositoryController.php:120

Replace every registered repository (Serialize -- this is the injection target for the repositories config key, e.g. RepositoryController::class => ['repositories' => ['main' => ...]]).

function setRepositories(array $repositories): void

$repositories	array	name => iRepository.
returns	void
throws		if any value isn't an iRepository.

	Properties	Declared by	Description
	`verbosity`	aModule

Methods	Declared by	Description
`alert($message, $context)`	aModule	Action must be taken immediately.
`backtraces($message, $context)`	aModule	Force-log a message at INFO level together with a full stack trace/memory snapshot (`iLogLevel::BACKTRACE`), bypassing the verbosity mask entirely (any non-zero verbosity is enough to trigger it).
`Configure($config)`	aModule	Merge $config into this module's configuration in the shared `Configuration`.
`critical($message, $context)`	aModule	Critical conditions. No-op if CRITICAL is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`debug($message, $context)`	aModule	Detailed debug information.
`debugName()`	aModule	Human-readable identifier used as the default `{origin}` in this instance's log messages.
`DefaultConfig()`	aModule	The config a module starts from before anything loaded via `Configuration` is merged in.
`emergency($message, $context)`	aModule	System is unusable. No-op if EMERGENCY is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`error($message, $context)`	aModule	Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.
`ExtractRoutes($config)`	aController	Extract all the APIRoute from this class, regardless of the fact they are registered in the application
`getVerbosity()`	aModule
`HasRoutes()`	aController	Tells if any APIRoute are registered in the application
`info($message, $context)`	aModule	Interesting events. No-op if INFO is currently filtered out by the verbosity mask.
`Instantiate($config)`	aModule	(Re)create the shared instance immediately, configured with $config merged into the class's existing config.
`IsShared()`	aModule
`Link($method, $data)`	aController	Build a `Link` (URL + label/icon/description/title, taken from the route's APIRoute metadata) for a registered route.
`log($level, $message, $context)`	aModule	Logs with an arbitrary level.
`notice($message, $context)`	aModule	Normal but significant events.
`offsetExists($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetExists -- tells whether $key is a declared property at all, regardless of whether it is currently readable/writable through array access.
`offsetGet($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetGet -- reads a property directly, unless it has a `#[Serialize(serialize: 'methodName')]` attribute, in which case that zero-argument method is called instead (e.g.
`offsetSet($key, $value)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetSet -- sets a property directly, unless it has a `#[Serialize(unserialize: 'methodName')]` attribute, in which case that method is called with $value instead (e.g.
`offsetUnset($key)`	aModule	\ArrayAccess::offsetUnset -- equivalent to `$module[$key] = null`.
`Route($method)`	aController	Get a registered APIRoute WARNING: if this class was not registered in the application, it will return null.
`Routes()`	aController	Get a list of registered APIRoutes (from this class) in the application WARNING: if this class was not registered in the application, it will return an empty array.
`serialize($path, $serializer)`	aModule	\MMO\core\interfaces\iSerializable::serialize -- exports every property (via
`setVerbosity($verb)`	aModule	Set the current verbosity mask, replacing whatever it was before.
`Shared()`	aModule	Get the shared instance, creating (and configuring) it on first call.
`testVerbosity($level)`	aModule	Test whether a given level (or set of levels) is currently enabled by this instance's verbosity mask.
`traitUnshare($serialize)`	aModule	Remove the shared instance, so the next `Shared()` call creates a fresh one.
`unserialize($data, $path, $instances)`	aModule	\MMO\core\interfaces\iSerializable::unserialize -- merges $data onto `DefaultConfig`, runs it through the (possibly overridden) constructor, then applies each resulting value to its property (via
`Unshare($serialize)`	aModule	Like `tSingleton::Unshare`, but also disconnects this module's instance from every event it was listening to (via `Event::DisconnectListeners`) before dropping it.
`Url($method, $data)`	aController	Build the URL for a registered route, filling in any `{placeholder}` from $data.
`warning($message, $context)`	aModule	Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
`__construct($config)`	aModule	protected constructor, so it is not possible to do `new Module(...)` called by the serialization process just before being injected with data.
`__wakeup()`	aController	Called automatically right after the controller's shared instance is built (`aModule::unserialize`): registers `onRoute` as a Route listener with a low priority (-10), so it…
