Tasks

Building Applications with Custom Fields

Core Properties and Field Identity

  • public function getFieldKey()
  • public function getFieldName() — Return a human-readable field name.
  • public function getFieldDescription() — Return a short, human-readable description of the field's behavior. This provides more context to administrators when they are customizing fields.
  • public function createFields($object) — Most field implementations are unique, in that one class corresponds to one field. However, some field implementations are general and a single implementation may drive several fields.
  • public function isFieldEnabled() — You can return `false` here if the field should not be enabled for any role. For example, it might depend on something (like an application or library) which isn't installed, or might have some global configuration which allows it to be disabled.
  • public function shouldEnableForRole($role) — Low level selector for field availability. Fields can appear in different roles (like an edit view, a list view, etc.), but not every field needs to appear everywhere. Fields that are disabled in a role won't appear in that context within applications.
  • public function canDisableField() — Allow administrators to disable this field. Most fields should allow this, but some are fundamental to the behavior of the application and can be locked down to avoid chaos, disorder, and the decline of civilization.
  • final public function getFieldIndex() — Return an index string which uniquely identifies this field.

Field Proxies

  • public function canSetProxy() — Proxies allow a field to use some other field's implementation for most of their behavior while still subclassing an application field. When a proxy is set for a field with @{method:setProxy}, all of its methods will call through to the proxy by default.
  • final public function setProxy($proxy) — Set the proxy implementation for this field. See @{method:canSetProxy} for discussion of field proxies.
  • final public function getProxy() — Get the field's proxy implementation, if any. For discussion, see @{method:canSetProxy}.
  • public function __clone()

Contextual Data

  • final public function setObject($object) — Sets the object this field belongs to.
  • public function readValueFromObject($object) — Read object data into local field storage, if applicable.
  • final public function getObject() — Get the object this field belongs to.
  • final public function setViewer($viewer)
  • final public function getViewer()
  • final protected function requireViewer()

Integration with ApplicationSearch

  • public function shouldAppearInApplicationSearch() — Appearing in ApplicationSearch allows a field to be indexed and searched for.
  • public function buildFieldIndexes() — Return one or more indexes which this field can meaningfully query against to implement ApplicationSearch.
  • public function buildOrderIndex() — Return an index against which this field can be meaningfully ordered against to implement ApplicationSearch.
  • protected function newStringIndexStorage() — Build a new empty storage object for storing string indexes. Normally, this should be a concrete subclass of @{class:PhabricatorCustomFieldStringIndexStorage}.
  • protected function newNumericIndexStorage() — Build a new empty storage object for storing string indexes. Normally, this should be a concrete subclass of @{class:PhabricatorCustomFieldStringIndexStorage}.
  • protected function newStringIndex($value) — Build and populate storage for a string index.
  • protected function newNumericIndex($value) — Build and populate storage for a numeric index.
  • public function readApplicationSearchValueFromRequest($engine, $request) — Read a query value from a request, for storage in a saved query. Normally, this method should, e.g., read a string out of the request.
  • public function applyApplicationSearchConstraintToQuery($engine, $query, $value) — Constrain a query, given a field value. Generally, this method should use `with...()` methods to apply filters or other constraints to the query.
  • public function appendToApplicationSearchForm($engine, $form, $value) — Append search controls to the interface.

This method is not documented.
Return
stringString which uniquely identifies this field.

public function getModernFieldKey()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Return a human-readable field name.

Return
stringHuman readable field name.

public function getFieldDescription()
Inherited

Return
string|nullOptional human-readable description.

public function createFields($object)
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Most field implementations are unique, in that one class corresponds to one field. However, some field implementations are general and a single implementation may drive several fields.

For general implementations, the general field implementation can return multiple field instances here.

Parameters
object$objectThe object to create fields for.
Return
list<PhabricatorCustomField>List of fields.

public function isFieldEnabled()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

You can return false here if the field should not be enabled for any role. For example, it might depend on something (like an application or library) which isn't installed, or might have some global configuration which allows it to be disabled.

Return
boolFalse to completely disable this field for all roles.

public function shouldEnableForRole($role)
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Low level selector for field availability. Fields can appear in different roles (like an edit view, a list view, etc.), but not every field needs to appear everywhere. Fields that are disabled in a role won't appear in that context within applications.

Normally, you do not need to override this method. Instead, override the methods specific to roles you want to enable. For example, implement shouldUseStorage()() to activate the 'storage' role.

Parameters
$role
Return
boolTrue to enable the field for the given role.

public function canDisableField()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Allow administrators to disable this field. Most fields should allow this, but some are fundamental to the behavior of the application and can be locked down to avoid chaos, disorder, and the decline of civilization.

Return
boolFalse to prevent this field from being disabled through configuration.

public function shouldDisableByDefault()
Inherited

This method is not documented.
Return
wild

final public function getFieldIndex()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Return an index string which uniquely identifies this field.

Return
stringIndex string which uniquely identifies this field.

public function canSetProxy()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Proxies allow a field to use some other field's implementation for most of their behavior while still subclassing an application field. When a proxy is set for a field with setProxy(), all of its methods will call through to the proxy by default.

This is most commonly used to implement configuration-driven custom fields using PhabricatorStandardCustomField.

This method must be overridden to return true before a field can accept proxies.

Return
boolTrue if you can @{method:setProxy} this field.

final public function setProxy($proxy)
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Set the proxy implementation for this field. See canSetProxy() for discussion of field proxies.

Parameters
PhabricatorCustomField$proxyField implementation.
Return
this

final public function getProxy()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Get the field's proxy implementation, if any. For discussion, see canSetProxy().

Return
PhabricatorCustomField|nullProxy field, if one is set.

public function __clone()

Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Sets the object this field belongs to.

Parameters
PhabricatorCustomFieldInterface$objectThe object this field belongs to.
Return
this

public function readValueFromObject($object)
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Read object data into local field storage, if applicable.

Parameters
PhabricatorCustomFieldInterface$objectThe object this field belongs to.
Return
this

Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Get the object this field belongs to.

Return
PhabricatorCustomFieldInterfaceThe object this field belongs to.

protected function didSetObject($object)
Inherited

Parameters
PhabricatorCustomFieldInterface$object
Return
PhabricatorCustomFieldInterfaceThe object this field belongs to.

final public function setViewer($viewer)
Inherited

This method is not documented.

PhabricatorUser$viewer
Return
wild

final public function getViewer()
Inherited

This method is not documented.
Return
wild

final protected function requireViewer()
Inherited

This method is not documented.
Return
wild

protected function renderHandleList($handles)
Inherited

This method is not documented.
Parameters
array$handles
Return
wild

public function shouldUseStorage()

PhabricatorCustomField

Return true to use field storage.

Fields which can be edited by the user will most commonly use storage, while some other types of fields (for instance, those which just display information in some stylized way) may not. Many builtin fields do not use storage because their data is available on the object itself.

If you implement this, you must also implement getValueForStorage() and setValueFromStorage().

PhorgeFlagFlaggedObjectCustomField
This method is not documented.
Return
boolTrue to use storage.

public function newStorageObject()

PhabricatorCustomField

Return a new, empty storage object. This should be a subclass of PhabricatorCustomFieldStorage which is bound to the application's database.

PhorgeFlagFlaggedObjectCustomField
This method is not documented.
Return
PhabricatorCustomFieldStorageNew empty storage object.

public function getValueForStorage()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Return a serialized representation of the field value, appropriate for storing in auxiliary field storage. You must implement this method if you implement shouldUseStorage().

If the field value is a scalar, it can be returned unmodiifed. If not, it should be serialized (for example, using JSON).

Return
stringSerialized field value.

public function setValueFromStorage($value)

PhabricatorCustomField

Set the field's value given a serialized storage value. This is called when the field is loaded; if no data is available, the value will be null. You must implement this method if you implement shouldUseStorage().

Usually, the value can be loaded directly. If it isn't a scalar, you'll need to undo whatever serialization you applied in getValueForStorage().

PhorgeFlagFlaggedObjectCustomField
This method is not documented.
Parameters
string|null$valueSerialized field representation (from @{method:getValueForStorage}) or null if no value has ever been stored.
Return
this

public function didSetValueFromStorage()
Inherited

This method is not documented.
Return
wild

Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Appearing in ApplicationSearch allows a field to be indexed and searched for.

Return
boolTrue to appear in ApplicationSearch.

public function buildFieldIndexes()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Return one or more indexes which this field can meaningfully query against to implement ApplicationSearch.

Normally, you should build these using newStringIndex() and newNumericIndex(). For example, if a field holds a numeric value it might return a single numeric index:

return array($this->newNumericIndex($this->getValue()));

If a field holds a more complex value (like a list of users), it might return several string indexes:

$indexes = array();
foreach ($this->getValue() as $phid) {
  $indexes[] = $this->newStringIndex($phid);
}
return $indexes;
Return
list<PhabricatorCustomFieldIndexStorage>List of indexes.

public function buildOrderIndex()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField

Return an index against which this field can be meaningfully ordered against to implement ApplicationSearch.

This should be a single index, normally built using newStringIndex() and newNumericIndex().

The value of the index is not used.

Return null from this method if the field can not be ordered.

Return
PhabricatorCustomFieldIndexStorageA single index to order by.

protected function newStringIndexStorage()
Inherited

PhabricatorCustomField
