lithium\data\Connections::get()

public static method

Read the configuration or access the connections you have set up.

Usage:

// Gets the names of all available configurations
$configurations = Connections::get();

// Gets the configuration array for the connection named 'db'
$config = Connections::get('db', ['config' => true]);

// Gets the instance of the connection object, configured with the settings defined for
// this object in Connections::add()
$dbConnection = Connections::get('db');

// Gets the connection object, but only if it has already been built.
// Otherwise returns null.
$dbConnection = Connections::get('db', ['autoCreate' => false]);

Parameters

string $name
The name of the connection to get, as defined in the first parameter of add(), when the connection was initially created.
array $options
Options to use when returning the connection:
- 'autoCreate': If false, the connection object is only returned if it has already been instantiated by a previous call.
- 'config': If true, returns an array representing the connection's internal configuration, instead of the connection itself.

Returns

mixed

A configured instance of the connection, or an array of the configuration used.
